Tina posted today with a link to oneword, a site that presents one with a word and then gives the person 60 seconds to write about it, so I decided to pop over and give it a try. Today's secret word was "worth"! For the rest of the day, whenever anyone says the secret word, SCREAM REAL LOUD! Okay? Let's try it! Here's what I wrote, with the secret word boldfaced:

A penny is worth a thousand thoughts. But what is a nickel worth? The answer is not as simple as you would think. And hey, why are a thousand thoughts worth so little? This is bullshit, and reading this isn't worth your time. So don't! Stop right now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

P.S. Looking over what other folks wrote, it's kind of interesting that most of the responses make some kind of mention of money (sadly, mine included). Tina's doesn't, though. Self-centered lass. ;P

Keep rockin' in '05 with MummRaph and Donacula in A Dusty Plastic HELLISH New Year! And speaking of Dusty Plastic HELL, I realize that Dusty Plastic HELL #4's cliffhanger has not yet been resolved... nor has the mysterious SKELEGORE yet shown his face! So many Dusty Plastic HELL adventures to be written in the new year! And hopefully this week I'll finally post a new Foodstuffs article... so STAY TUNED to Scary-Crayon!!

Also, add invaderwes.com and wesfiles.com to the list of personal domain name possibilities.

So it's 2005 -- best wishes for everyone in the new year. Of course, soon enough I'll have my depressing recap of the past year and my even more depressing projections for the coming year (coupled with my annual hope/wish/plea/prayer that this year is my last), but in the meantime here are a few pics to help you usher in the new year in your own homes. (more...)

So I almost went with sadwes.com, but then it dawned on me that if I ever stopped being sad -- which I don't anticipate happening anytime soon, or ever, really, until my inevitable death, anyway, but still -- I'd have to change the URL and that would be more trouble than it's worth.

Presently I'm leaning towards wesuri.com, but other possibilities include sickwes.com and westuary.com, the latter of which I think is really clever and somewhat appropriate but is also somehow slightly off. And then there are things like caveofwes.com and hauntofwes.com and such.

Though Christmas is over (except for those of us who still haven't finished shopping...), the holiday spirit lives on in The TRUTH about Santa Claus. Or does it...?  :/

By the way, in all probability, it'll be the last Scary-Crayon article of the year! Isn't that crazy?
