Have you guys heard about the Duck Tape Prom Contest? The company is awarding $2500 scholarships to the couple that attended prom in the most original and stylish outfits made entirely from duck tape. This couple is from my brother’s school! The guy, Kyle, used to be on Antny’s little league team. Go to the…

Guess what? My trip pictures are finally ready! This one here was taken at the Antique Photo Shop. That’s Snookums as a gambler and me as, ahem, a lady. (No comments from the peanut gallery, please.) There’s lots more if you’ve got some time to waste!

Apparently it’ll cost you over $165,000 to raise a child nowadays. I know, uh, somebody who might find that interesting.

No more Bozo? That’s so sad! I can remember watching Bozo every morning at the babysitter’s when I was, like, four. Seriously, my greatest wish in the world at that time was to be selected for the Grand Prize Game. The kids they picked were always so terrible! I knew I would’ve won the bike.…

Ugh. The Natural History Museum wants Britons to report any sightings of “mole crickets”. I know I should feel upset that they’re becoming extinct, but I really, really dislike creepy crawlies. If I come across one, the scientists will probably know by the scream.

Weirdness. I’m on a new project so I just got moved back to the other office today. As my old desk was taken, I had to take the remaining empty spot… right next to Snookums. Which basically means that we’ll be spending 24 hours a day within four feet of each other. A bit much?…
