...ok, I got nothing. We're about forever months late and life has been cheeky and let's see what we have here and maybe 2015 will be better. Sorry everyone...

( Heeeeeeere we finally go!Collapse )

...yeah, ok, so timing hasn't been my strong point lately. But we can do this together, like teamwork, or murder. Wait, not that last one. I meant macrame. Yes.

Did you know that there's a quiz waiting to be played? It's true! And like all true things, you should go and take advantage of them while they're still around. After all, the truth is hard to find nowadays. Like unicorns. So go out there and play the quiz while it's still hot. Unleash your inner funny. Release the hounds. Release the kraken!

And, as a bonus, we can have the answers to the "fake quiz" I posted back in June. Sorry about all this delay; I went on vacation and then took some time to catch up. It's been a busy summer.

Look, monkeys!

4. THERE! ARE! FOUR! LIGHTS!

5. Maybe there aren't. How many lights are there? Where are you that has all these damn lights? What the hell is going on?

See you soon!
