Floating pancakes, disembodied gams, the Thanksgiving ad appearing after Thanksgiving, AND the decidedly unregimented appearance of those tart shells! It's chaos, I tell you! Chaos!
From the December 6th issue of Western Family magazine.
P.S. - Wishing a "Lucky '13" to the dude from Washington (State), The Damn Mushroom.

Yeah, I've already got all of 2013's gifts selected, boxed, wrapped, and put away in the special Holiday Annex of my fallout shelter. Haven't you?

Honey, my car got a flat and I'm having it replaced right now! Don't worry, though. I'll be there by the time the big hand is on the white and the little hand is on the pink!

Actually, Mr. Green, I'm looking for something in "Dust Bunny Grey." Also, it should have rubberized skate wheels, since I have hardwood floors. Thanks.
