IDF & PLO Both Tickled Pink!

This world was shocked this week when the government of Israel announced that it was happy about something. Even more surprising, was the ringing endorsement of Palestinian representatives declaring their wholehearted agreement with Israel's position.

What has brought the traditionally bitter enemies together? The unveiling of the WHAM-O's Marshmallow PEEPS® Marshmallow Maker, by marshmallow magnate, Just Born, Inc. and toymaker WHAM-O, Inc. As the companys' joint press release proclaims,

"A leader in merging popular branded food related products with at-home fun, WHAM-O's Marshmallow PEEPS® Marshmallow Maker is sure to provide delectable hours of delicious fun as kids and parents create their own fun-shaped marshmallows."

You Can Pry My Goya From My Cold, Dead, Wealthy Fingers "Venerable auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's are facing a growing problem: too many newly-minted American millionaires and not enough famous dead artists producing new work." (17 comments)

Beginning Monday, 29 March, and running through that Friday, the Plastic website will be unavailble from 2pm until 3pm PST (5pm-6pm EST, 10pm-11pm UTC) for a series of network tests. There are still some unknowns, but Plastic Chat and Plastic Mail will hopefully see only minimal downtime during the hour. I'll provide further details in this space as I am able. Thank you for your patience and support; I do believe we've gotten well past the worst of it and things will only continue to improve. Knock on a luxurious simulated wood grain finish.

Send money now, or risk sending more money later once you read my brave yet painstricken annual report - soon to be torn from my sleeve - and become hopelessly wracked with guilt.
