Pretty soon I am going to be selling these tee-shirts.
In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be giving them away as prizes for the people who comment on WFMAD posts and whenever I feel like giving away prizes.
Do you like them? Would you wear them? Would you be interested in the logo on a sweatshirt or is this concept the height of absurdity?
Seriously. I want to know.
Sometimes you just have to push the silly button. Maybe that’s why it is time for the annual Pimp My Bookcart competition.
Last year’s winner was a Good Humor-themed cart created by welding students at Harlem High School.
If you need to smile, check out all of last year’s winners.
Two more smile makers come to you courtesy of Jim Averbeck and Kristin Clark Venuti. Jim interviews people at the American Library Association Annual conference every year. Then he and his minions go home and put together really fun videos.
Here is one of this year’s videos, with fashion statements by authors, which in itself is a hysterical concept because we spend our days in our pajamas, most of us.
And another, in which you can see how completely useless I am at game shows.
(More videos from this year’s ALA can be found on Jim and Kristin’s website.)

Set… relax. It’s Friday. Summer is winding down. Life is good. Smile.
Today’s prompt: pure silliness. Your character wakes up and can no longer speak any human language. Can’t write either. But she can still understand what the people around her are saying. And she can understand everything said by any animal or insect within fifty feet of her.
Write a funny scene in which she tries to figure out what is going on. Build the absurdity of her situation by piling on misunderstandings and pratfalls. Make yourself chuckle.
