Unicornucopia

This was the best thing that Bryn got me at Powell's this weekend. It is a folder with a unicorn spinny-wheel, enabling the spinner to confront a variety of situations with such advice as:

• Majestically gallop
• Nuzzle a newborn
• Race the wind
• Frolic in a meadow
• Pose on a windy cliff
• Impale evil things

It gets even better though. On the inside is printed "The Unicorn Code." For those of you who might be unfamiliar with this Code, it goes as follows:

1. Unicorns never cheat on tests.
2. Unicorns always lend a helping hand. (Shouldn't it be "helping hoof?")
3. Unicorns are never tardy.
4. Unicorns pick flowers for their teacher.
5. Unicorns respect school property.
6. Unicorns aren't conceited.
7. Unicorns don't judge people.
8. Unicorns turn in their homework on time.
9. Unicorns only use their horns if they have to.
10. Unicorns don't do drugs.

Yes, you too can be a unicorn if you follow these ten simple rules. This folder is almost better than an amazing snack! Almost...

Birthday Bonanza

Oddly enough, everything conspired today to see to it that I got early bday gifts from four directions all on the same day. Two in person, one by proxy, and one through the mail. Above are the two shirts that Bryn got me from http://shirt.woot.com/ that are super hilarious and cool. There is Steamboat Wootie and Fat Unicorn. One is for ironic artistic expression, the other for emotional overeating. I can get behind both of those activities. Fully.

One thing I really like about these shirts are the fun descriptions about them on the site. As it says for the second shirt under the "This Shirt Tells The World" category: "mmumph mmupmh mormph mmupmh." There's (lots) more if you want to investigate personally.
