Other Crap

Today marks a very special edition of Uncle Scoopy's Guest House

Today is the venerable Tuna's 100,000th Anniversary.

That means he has now completed the totally incomprehensible number of 100,000 collages, all of which are housed in our members' section.

As you all undoubtedly know, the 100,000th is traditionally known as the Ytterbium Anniversary, named after the most chronically underrated of the rare earths, and so Tuna earns an anniversary card postmarked in Ytterby and signed by many locals with heartfelt messages in their native Ytterbian dialect. Unfortunately, we have no idea what those messages mean, and the website Ytterby.com is no help. While offering a quaint postcard picture of their apparently deserted town during its one annual snow-free day (I presume they migrate farther north to get in their daily ration of cross-country skiing), the domain offers no words beyond the admonition that "this site is not yet active."

But remember, kids, the National Safety Council reminds you that playing with Ytterbium can irritate the skin and eyes, so always wear your gloves and goggles when you lace your snowballs with it, or any of the rare earth elements.

In order to help us and the quaint denizens of Ytterby celebrate this solemn occasion of near-religious significance, Tuna has selected one of his favorite films. Here is his advance look (yes, including the pictures)at the Cinderella Liberty DVD (Available March 6, 2007), starring Marsha Mason.
