Today is a day that will live in infamy... it's Mrs. Madden's birthday! Heeeeyyyy!!!! Happy birthday, Lauren and thanks for taking a chance on a broken-down shell of a man with syphillis all those years ago. I'm pretty sure Madden would have been found dead in a pool of KY jelly somewhere in Canada without you.

In less birthday-riffic news, I know many of you read this item in the news this morning and immediately thought: "Hmmm... Scamper plays at Brandeis and then this happens. Coincidence? I. Think. NOT!"

But in Mike's defense, it's not as weird as it sounds. He merely sneaks into college girls' rooms, gently strokes their hair while they sleep and collects a piece of their underwear for his "college girl white cotton panties diarama." See? There is nothing sexual about it at all - it's an ongoing art project. Mike is an artist and you can't judge him. So get your minds out of the gutter, you pervies.

Actually, when I showed Keith that news item this morning, the first thing he writes back is "Kudos to Mike for getting us some press."
