Snout

This begins (hopefully) the chronicle of the traveling snout. My dad made this out of clay and a paper towel tube; I don't know where the hair came from, and I can't decide if I hope it's his or not. As the current owner of the snout, my job is to keep and maintain it "for a while," then pass it on to someone who will do the same. I am the third owner, the first two being my dad and my brother. Already the snout has made two cross country trips, having traveled from Oregon to Massachusetts, and then from Massachusetts to California.

I have a few people in mind who I trust to keep the snout and then pass it along, but I sort of like the idea of the snout traveling every time it's handed off. I also don't know how long "a while" is, but if I can stretch it out a few months, I think it has potential as a wedding gift (in true Tully fashion). So cross your fingers Howie or Jason.

With the recent passing of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, much national attention has been called to her philanthropic work, most notably in founding the Special Olympics. But few people seem to remember what may have been her most important accomplishment - Ms. Shriver had an unheralded cameo in (and served as the inspiration for) the cult classic, "They Live!"

Proof That We're Fucked

According to the same poll, 78% of Americans believe in angels.
