and I turn into Sally Struthers

I have an experiment for you.  Would you click this button?

It will give two cents to Squishy’s monthly bill. I recently noticed that I am almost at my limit on this page. Yesterday there were over 100,000 page views on this site, and it is pushing my monthly bill to its limit. With your two cents, I can continue to afford to have this page run every day. This little graphic is also at the bottom of the main entry page, so if you think about it in the future, clicking it would be a good thing. I might start adding it to the bottom of the entries. If you liked what you read that day, you can click the button.

Sort of like tipping the monkey for a good job. Good little monkey, no?

On to the funny stuff:

Yesterday

TAYLOR
You may think that zis is not important now, my empty sack of fur, but you seem to forget what you do every day at one, mon non-petit chou.
