Speaking of writing like someone else, your Three Men In A Boat<\/em> posts made me read that work and the similar-in-style Leacock. I’m starting work on a Sunshine Sketches<\/em>-like book updated for modern times: Oxycontin Delusions of a Ditchpig Trailer Park<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Kickstarter<\/em>, the wife wants to start a My Daughter Is Not A Skank<\/strong> campaign there to see if we can get some decent girls’ clothing manufactured. Went shopping on the weekend for the first time in a long time and it was kinda scary to see what’s being marketed to pre-teen girls. Most retailers only have two jean styles available for girls: Boot Cut and Skinny. In terms of actual cut and fit, they are identical. Old Navy is the only retailer with a third option: Boyfriend Skinny<\/em>. Actually, that’s not quite true — Sears also offers a style called Mommy’s Little Money Maker<\/em>.<\/p>\n
