my relationship with marilyn monroe

Well, it all started with my relation to Albert Einstein really. I’ve always loved Bertie, but when my sister-in-law did research, she proved that indeed, I am related to him. Here is the proof…

Now it seems that I am in turn related to Marilyn herself. I couldn’t believe me eyes. But to [...]

poor reggie’s introduction

You think my introduction was funny and tricky, poor Reggie McNeal got this from the mad Dave Trotter

the forgotten book :-(

Caught me on a really bad hair day!

i’m gonna be changed!

This is a hoot. A strangely familiar view of heaven.
