Washed up on the shores of my PC.
In the spirit of Monty Python & The Holy Grail intro, "Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked," comes this notice.
Beautiful pictures of a fairly clever notion, holding the sun.
My new work watch to go with my new work hat.
Clever advertising uses for eggs.
Very entertaining improv musical at the food court.
Fantastic images of a complete rainbow.
Cheap parental advice: if your child has a serial killer bobblehead, counseling may be in order.
Stand-up (sort of) of the week: Lewis Black

Recent conversation with Brenda: me: I heard a song on the radio on the ride home today and found myself returning to the 70's. Brenda: Like you ever left. me: Be that as it may, I was bobbing my head to Journey's Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin'. Go »Best Of Photojournalism
