I would really love to dangle the evil yellow stripey spider in front of you Aimee, because it just looks so menacing with
his/her hooked legs and camoflauged design. His body shell looks pretty tough to squash too. Anything to make Aimee
scream louder!! :)

Well, I guess I won't be showing that one to my mom.
Great picture you got of me eating the pizza. Sneaky. I'm impressed.
I'm all for more Dorko. Reminds me of "How not to be seen"
Looking forward to reading of your New Orleans adventures.

Oh yeah, the Dorko game is great. After all, remember what that guy said on Day One I think it was..... There is a lot of boring landscape in USA.
- Cindy, Bemidji MN
Well that was entertaining for about 23 1/2 seconds. Keep up the great work!
By the way, can't say as I'm a fan of spiders in the least. I think big fuzzy bathroom spiders would be ikier than yellow stripey ones so I'll go with the latter... lesser of two evils....
