Were you at the Balboa Picnic? WELL? WERE YOU?????
I was! Coach Chris and I battled to the death (except nobody died) in three epic rounds of tug-of-war. Did you see it? Did you help? If so, I SALUTE YOUR VALIANT EFFORTS!
I saw more monkeys while I was there (click pictures to embiggen them):
The monkeys were eating these strange pinkish-red wedges.
You can't tell, but these monkeys are moving at BREAKNECK SPEEDS!
Some monkeys were cruelly throwing balls an innocent bowling pins!

Mr. Gattuso was born over eight million years ago on the planet Zurbulon 6. Sent to Earth on a mission of peace, he currently spends his days teaching small Earth humans how to do wacky things with computers.

No kid ever figured out what these were:
They're adapters used for playing 45rpm records on home record players. I went looking for record players today. They're gone! I am old.
This one is easier, since it's actually still available:
WARNING! WARNING!
Recent highly scientific tests have shown that too much time at the computer can cause children to start resembling Mr. G!
Some tragic examples:
Don't let this happen to you! Studies have shown that going outside and playing with friends can completely reverse this process!
