Wonka
Okay, tell me this guy doesn’t look totally cool: This guy was with the fire dancer troup that performed Saturday night at the Bite of Bend.

Pictures of the cistern
This post is really to supplement my Water in the Desert post from yesterday; I wanted to include some pictures of the cistern we used to play on, because that was one of my favorite parts from that post. So while we were out at my parents’ place today, I snapped a few pictures.
For Dummies book cover generator
This is pretty cool: Dummies Book Cover Generator (via eMusings). Now you can generate a fake “For Dummies” book for any occasion (which would have been handy when I originally created this and this). Imagine the mayhem… At the very least, I can now mockup my For Tards ideas:

This makes me want to laugh out loud every time I see it: For the record, my favorites are “Telekinesis,” “Raining blows down upon you,” and “With his bare… Continue reading 10 ways Dick Cheney can kill you
Strangely enough, it’s a real book…
It’s amazing what they’re publishing in For Dummies books these days… I almost wish I had made this up: Pit Bulls for Dummies This just makes me laugh. The fact that it’s for real just makes this that much more irrationally funny to me…
