OK, kids, it’s time for another PDD contest. The rules for this one are simple.
1) Take the boring image above and doctor it up. Alter it. Manipulate it. Make it something special. Please feel free to use Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, MS-Paint, ImageBuddy, or whatever software you desire to enhance the photo. Heck – print it out, draw on it with markers, and scan it back in for all we care. Just have fun.
2) E-mail your image to [email protected] by 11:59pm next Sunday, August 16.

I’m looking for a lead on a 2-3 bedroom apartment or house meeting the following criteria: (1) within 10 minute walk to CSS or (2) along direct bus route (i.e. no transfers). I need the lease through 2009, possibly extending month by month into 2010. email me directly: recovery at css.edu
It started for me today. Anyone else?
My favorite remedies are sleeping 12 hours a day and eating every second that I’m awake. Snorting cromolyn sodium also helps.
Rainn Wilson (who plays Dwight on NBC’s “The Office”) recently alerted his nearly two million followers on Twitter that he found Dink Tank’s “total devotion to McConnaughy (sic) and “Ghosts of Girlfriend’s Past,” Hysterical.”
So, just in case you missed it the first time we posted it, here’s the video again. This time with a fresh smelling seal of approval from a guy we think is pretty damn hysterical too. In fact, way more so.
I was contacted by a very nice Brazilian girl named Mariana who wants to continue her high school education here in Duluth for 2009-2010 school year. She was an exchange student at Mesabi East last year, and did very well. Unfortunately, the visa she was on last year expired and cannot be renewed. She can come back on a different visa to attend a SEVIS-qualified high school (i.e. Marshall or any Duluth Public School), but she needs a host family. A stipend for the host family is part of the deal. If you can help, or know someone who can, please contact me by e-mail: nbs @ twinportslaw.com, or phone 625-8765. Thanks very much!
Three kids are playing or doing whatever in their backyard. I can’t see them, I can only hear them because they’re all yelling at each other.
Suddenly, the voice of what is likely the father drowns them all out with, “You better shutup all that screamin’!”
I’m not questioning this parenting method at all; I’m just telling the story as a fan of irony.
(Additional irony is that this follows the “Peaceful Waves” post. Serenity now!)

I feel sorry for the family already and I don’t even know their story.
This plant made itself a home on the brick patio when I was a kid, and on a clay/sand bed, no less. It sits next to canisters of oil and fuel. We’ve done everything to oust it, but it always comes back. Not that I really want to get rid of it since I like the stuff, but talk about a hardy plant. The vertical woody stems are around 8.5 feet. Suggestions? Other than digging out the whole yard?
Makes me think of Rick Moranis for some reason.
Anyone know where I can find an large/extra large Park Point is for lovers T-shirt? If you got d’goods, please call me at 522 0471. Thanks so much.
