Well, friends, that does it for this post. Won't see you here for a while, as I've decided to take a break from blogging for BotB -- but perhaps I'll be back at some point in the future. For now, cheerio!
Are you sure those Way Out Ideas pictures didn't come out of the Jonestown compound?

Looks like Jerry Sandusky's playbook.

Do I spy Andy Kaufman in the Way-Out Ideas for Youth Groups photos? Just the idea that he produced the book as a hoax makes the whole thing an order of magnitude funner.

A break from blogging?! Say it ain't so! These are great, as usual.

Hoax or not, I still enjoy a good hypnotism show at a party.
