RUSSIA: Get off the mile-long line for firewood; get in the mile-long line for umbrellas. HOLLAND: Annual Easter Clog Toss VATICAN CITY: The Pope presides over the ceremonial casting out the first sinner. ISRAEL: Throw cute little stuffed animals filled with rocks at the Palestinians. LIECHTENSTEIN: Send annual "we're still a country" notification to the U.N. CHERNOBYL: Night Parade Of the Glow-In-The-Dark chickens TEHRAN: Can now attend "Death to America" rally in shorts. BAGHDAD: Before inspectors begin their hunt, replace anthrax eggs with slightly less nauseating Cadbury eggs. TOKYO: Godzilla turns his fancy from a path of destruction to thoughts of love. ENGLAND: Leichester Larry comes out of his flat and smiles. If any teeth are straight, 6 more weeks of rain. Otherwise, 5.5 more weeks of rain. IRELAND: Swimsuit issue of "Soccer Hooligan Illustrated" hits newsstands. BOSNIA: Annual switch to "Daylight Bombing Time" requires setting your quality of life back another decade.

hehehe...love these, Britt...yours? I've got a couple for you...AUSTRALIA: Kangaroos go bouncing off in search of a mate and bonk anything with pouches (Mailmen on National "Terror - ROO Alert"!) Drop Bears require extra Spring sustenance. (Fortunately this co-incides with Tourist Season - so additional jugular veins are readily available.)

Ducks? Try Canadian Honkers...the honking alone is enough to split an eardrum.  |

A knee-jerk liberal like Britt doing Clinton jokes? Spring apparently induces hysteria.  |

Heard that one on the radio and thought it was pretty damn funny. What, exactly, is the definition of a "knee jerk liberal" anyway? |

That's right, manic the was for me...the duck fucking is a cold, hard fact. According to Zach, there has been an abundance of ducky porn in her backyard of late. |

California; Signs of Spring:The smog in the air takes on a beautiful yellow-greenish hue. The politically correct term for "carjacking" becomes "lowest-class citizen utilization of transportation." During the daytime hours, people only lock their doors and windows, rather than locking and bolting them. The pigeons drown themselves in a desperate attempt to act like ducks Children are seen swimming in the drainage canals warmed by power plant runoff (Honest to God. Kinda gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling, huh?) The bacteria in the tap water get together and have a nice brouhaha with the kids. Makers of Condoms and E.P.T.s enjoy high gains on the market and finally, (drumroll please)... Arnold Schwarzenegger considers running for governor of the state. |
