The Impossible Truth Behind Snake Plissken's Eyepatch

Ladies and Gentlemen! Children and Literate Animals!

Today, I draw your attention to a disease not often discussed - COMPULSIVE WINKING SYNDROME (CWS).

CWS afflicts tens of Americans every year. It is a silent killer, or at the very least, a silent annoyance.

Did you know that CWS caused the tragic suicide of Superman George Reeves?

Look it up!



How many times has CWS resulted in a dangerous misunderstanding?

Ask former President George W. Bush!






But now there is help.

Man's man Snake Plissken suffered just as the tens of you out there have suffered, until his years of sneering, tough comic book dialogue and intense studies resulted in the invention of the Snake Plissken Wink Concealer ™!



The Snake Plissken Wink Concealer ™!

MizSplotchy has just informed me she has obtained a gorilla suit for me.

Oh, MizSplotchy!

Go, MizSplotchy, Go!

MizSplotchy has been training many weeks for the Chicago Half Marathon, which starts out in beautiful Jackson Park early Sunday morning (September 14th). Yes, MizSplotchy will be running on Lake Shore Drive during this race. Yes, she is hot-doggity cool.

There was a brief moment during her training when she was worried about a leg injury that might affect her ability to run, but that injury is now a thing of the past.

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!

Please join the Splotchy family in wishing MizSplotchy a safe, happy and healthy race!
