I still have to groom the toilet to earn my allowance, and I usually blow it on comic books and bubble gum. My favorite comic right now is The Infamous Byron Stipe and the Invincible Squad -- I couldn't believe the cliffhanger at the end of the last issue!

Last weekend a bunch of us camped out overnight in our fort. We made a throne out of vintage carpet samples for the Frightmaster to sit on, and took turns sitting on it and telling scary stories with a flashlight under our face. Mickey told one about a ghost named Lucien who haunted the guy who stole his blue bung. Johnny was so scared he peed in his sleeping bag. It was totally great.
