Money money money

[mayhap]

I am amused by the fact that The Powers That Be found it necessary to launch an advertising campaign to advertise the new, slightly colorful twenty dollar bills. Is there anything, really that is less in need of advertising? It's the form of legal tender that comes out of my ATM. I'd probably use it if it were printed in black on black, had little Scratch'n'Sniff patches on it that smelt of rotting fish, and tended to bite.

Edit: And, speaking of money, why does this have to be so expensive? I waaaaaaaaant it.

I remember back when I was either six or seven, and I had the flu or something equally tragic, so I got to lounge around in my parents' huge brass bed all day. I picked up this because it was sitting on my dad's nightstand and laughed for so long. I read it and reread it. Imagine my sorrow when I went back to see where it was a few years ago and I discovered that my mother had gotten rid of it somehow. Wherefore she did this and hung on to practically every piece-of-junk my family ever owned, I do not know.

You had a livejournal this whole time?  A whole other blog I could have been wasting my time reading?  Well, if you were keeping it from me on purpose, then I guess you forgot who you were messin' with.  Ha.  And I have the Prehistory of the Far Side, so there.  Ha ha ha ha ha.

My favorite is the cartoon where someone gets stabbed at the butler's convention, and you see a detective going "man, I hate Mondays."  Or whatever.

This is Lisa, by the way.
