WYFP is our community's Saturday evening gathering to talk about our problems, empathize with one another, and share advice, pootie pictures, favorite adult beverages, and anything else that we think might help. Everyone and all sorts of troubles are welcome. May we find peace and healing here. Won't you please share the joy of WYFP by recommending?After weighing a number of options for tonight's WYFP, I concluded that they were all depressing as hell. Just being a North Carolinian right now is the source of enough FPs to write a book. The FP and RL of DK are chock full of FPs, not to mention nuts.
In recognition of a week that pretty much blew chunks for Team Blue, I've decided to take it to the lighter side. This piece, the product of sleep-deprived silliness, was meant for a puppy training blog I started but never got around to publishing. I would have re-dubbed it "Who's Your Funny Puppy," but the little shit really did eat one of my NAOTS and grievously damaged my left Earth Shoe sandal in his first week of residence at Casa Steeler. Without further ado...
