INSTRUCTIONS: The first task reads: "Take a picture of yourself. " This is the only time a sous rature gesture will be made, so let us remind you: you may be your character, but your character need not be you.

I ran long and fought hard for this photo:


Welding-maskless, terrified, and bewitched by a malevolent witch doctor, there was little left to do besides claw at my face and scream. It was a good day.

You are king of the safe. Had Patrick not split off as a distraction, this picture may not have been possible.

When people speak of things that happened "back in the old days", they often seem to refer to a romanticized ideal of Depression Era America. Prisoners in stripey shirts escaping from chain gangs to the sounds of Harry McClintock, or big city swells getting one over on "Good Time Charlie." in the Automat.

There was then, as now, a lot of slang that informed quotidian speech. Some phrases that we still know today, have lost their original meaning to the noiseless foot of time, leaving us with fun little bits of speech to pepper our dialogue with now and again. It's something that never stops happening. When our grandchildren want to sound old-timey, they'll probably say things like: "Hey, Boo, let's get all up in each other's Kook-Aid. We are about to get krunk.".

One sort of phrase from those good "ol' " days that has seen some newfound popularity is one of several variations on the "Why don't you go x! ", with x of course being something comically unpleasant such as soaking one's elbows, jumping in a lake, or punching a shark.

"Yeah, why don't you go punch a shark!" being a phrase often bellowed by an incensed Franklin Delano Roosevelt, then employed as some sort of civil servant.
