This is a photo from the other night of pals Susan and Mike with Ranger Rick in yet another Marietta College sweatshirt.

This photo marks the first meeting of the National Association of People, in a War Zone, Whose Names Rhyme.

Mullfoto of the Day

This is on Madison or Lexington or some Avenue in New York City.

I walked up and down the street looking for a Jews English Furniture store, or a Hindus or a Buddhists or even a Rastafarians English Furniture store.

Nothin'. The Christians get everything this time of year.

Catchy Caption of the Day

Actual Caption:

A guinea pig wears a Santa Claus costume at an animal show in Moscow November 27, 2005. Moscow's Club of Friends of Guinea Pigs organised an exhibition of their favourite pets on Sunday that included a fashion show and a sprinting contest.

Friends of Guinea Pigs? Fashion Show. SPRINTING contest?

No-no-no-no-NO. I'm not touching this one with a ten-foot pole.
OR a six-foot Russian.
