One for the Kids

This being Universal Children's Day, per UNICEF, we offer a precious thought from young Daria Morgendorffer of Highland Elementary School: click here.

Um, the "x" above meant that I was supposed to add something there but forgot. I've forgotten what I had to add, so....

Hey! It's Thursday! Time to party!

Latest entry on DariaWiki: it's a surprise from Brother Grimace. Wonder what Daria is like on that world.

That's right! I remember their slogan: "Where the rabbit meats the road.."

Good thing Helen sued them. Not sure why, though.

Hmmm, just deleted spam. The spambots are getting better every year. I guess we finally have another use for the death penalty.

Just curious: was it World of Warcraft spam?

The Angst Guy said...

No, something for brackets. I was surprised to see it. Maybe live people are logging in instead of computers now, then spamming away.

Friday and Saturday I did the same thing for time share sales...."
