Spanish Dan (retro)

ATTENTION
We have just received word that Dan left on an exchange program to Spain. This means that we were supposed to get someone in his place while he was gone. All we know about the exchange student is his name is 'Spanish Dan' and he was last seen on a plane leaving Spain. We were also able go get a picture of him. If you've seen Spanish Dan please let us know.

Presidents Day Store (retro)

To celebrate President's Day (which is today) I've decided to tell you a story about my sister.

When we were younger my sister and I would get in fights like all siblings did. Being the older brother I more often than not ended the fights. How I ended them was generally by beating her up and then getting both of us sent to our rooms. (This wasn't much of a punishment after a while because we quickly learned to keep all our toys in our rooms because we were going to wind up there soon anyway.) On one particular occasion Jenna, my little sister, had stolen some money from me. The amount was approximately $10-$20. No small change to a early double digits kid. When I figured out that Jenna had stolen the money I proceeded to beat her up like a good older brother. While I was going through the appeal process with my parents Jenna took the liberty of dumping the better part of a bottle of shampoo into my fish tank. A couple of hours later while grounded and playing with my Legos I noticed that there were a lot of bubbles in my fish tank. Upon closer review there weren't just a lot of bubbles there was almost nothing but bubbles and they were starting to come out of the little thing you lifted up to feed the fish. Needless to say all my fish died and I had to spend the $10-$20 that she had stolen on new fish. In the end neither of us got to have the money and we both spent a lot of time in our rooms.
