Wicked awesome stuff, Paul. I've been catching the DL off and on for a few months and I've noticed that whenever there's one that makes me bust a gut it's done by you. I've never commented before but I thought I'd step forward and let you know that you have some fans out here.

The one with the Ghost Face doll nearly made me piss myself and then the one with the little girl serial killer just looked so cool....nice range!

Keep kicking them out!

That is a new one for me. I have a friend from Canada and we were going for a walk and she said hold on while I get my runners. I wonder if prince charles calls his tennis shoes BUBBLES? "Aw Mom, I can't go cut a ribbon in front of the new whatever, I need new Bubbles."

Bring on the new British Vocabulary. I am a sucker for the accent!!

So you wanna be a gangster
