Blast from the Past: How the Accordion Saved My Ass at U.S. Customs

In this series, Blast from the Past, I’m linking to popular old entries of mine in an effort to make sure that pages don’t get lost in my move to a different blogging tool and URL.

Today’s Blast from the Past is titled The Star Spangled Banner and Anal Sovereignty, a story that explains how the accordion saved my ass — literally — from U.S. Customs. It’s bum-clenchingly good!
