The ABCs According to Amanda Lear

This is exactly the kind of alphabet I would expect from someone who spent copious amounts of time with Salvador Dali.

Did you ever wonder what Mario looked like on the inside? You did? You are sick! Sick! You are also in luck. Luck!

Ewok Birthday Cake

When I was a kid I absolutely adored the Ewoks, but as a I got older my opinion shifted to match most adults, “why all the puppets?” The this morning I opened my email and found a link to this little guy.
