My brother snapped this picture on his iPhone in the Poconos, a few seconds before he hit the button to automatically close the garage door.

If you believe in ghosts, this is perfect for you. If you don’t believe in ghosts, but have kids and you don’t care if they die in mysterious circumstances–this is perfect for you too:
Haunted Playscape (LOW PRICE!) - $120 (Austin)

Hi this was allegedly 2,399 dollars new, however I got it for a fraction of a cost from a previous owner. It seems the owner’s 2 children died of mysterious causes while on it.
Yesterday my son came in and said there was a kid with red eyes that said he wanted to eat his soul. This is not a joke, he knew nothing of the events that happened on the playscape.I peeked through my window and I saw a red light illuminating the playscape and I heard whispers telling me that we were next.
Other than that, it’s in near perfect condition. There is a little skuf mark on the slide, but some 409 would get that off easily. If you are an investigator of the paranormal, this would be perfect for you! If you don’t believe in ghosts, this would be perfect for your children! Write me back. : )
Price is LOW! LOW! LOW! I want this thing out of my life.

I’m on “away-cation”
Posted 3 weeks ago at 5:44 pm. 0 comments
I’ve been in Pennsylvania since last Saturday, driving out of Hartford a few hours before all of the shooting started going down in the North End. I coincidentally checked out Courant.com right around the time that the reports of violence started, then went to WFSB to see if they had more information.
The WFSB site had the most unfortunate ads accompanying the initial news report: CT “Staycation” and Hartford Hospital. I’m not sure when I’m coming back.

Not my best effort, but it’s a Wednesday.
I’ve been trying to make stencils all week and will start to post some of my best efforts soon. Stencils are very hard for me, my little brain gets confused.
Elizabeth Taylor fine, surrounded by jewels

This news is a few days old, but I just love it.
Elizabeth Taylor was hospitalized for an undisclosed reason but was expected to return home soon, representatives for the Oscar-winning actress said Thursday.
A statement released by Dick Guttman, her Los Angeles-based publicist, did not say where Taylor was staying, nor did it specify what was ailing the 76-year-old actress.
“Ms. Taylor is fine,” the statement read. “Her hospital visit was precautionary. She will be returning home shortly. At present, she is surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels.”
My publicist has strict instructions to answer any concerns about my health in exactly the same way.

Found via Pop Candy, Marvel kids has posted an application to create your own superhero.
I tried to recreate the Scary Bunnies mythical savior, Captain Hartford, naturally:
Here’s another original episode of the series by Fatness for your afternoon viewing pleasure. I promise to start posting new strips more frequently, since Hartford seems to holding out for a hero now more than ever.

I saw this posted to the “barter” section of Hartford’s Craigslist yesterday afternoon, but the guy’s wife must have seen it too because it was taken down later last night.
