hol-ee cow. these things are getting a LOT of attention, aren't they?

i can give some insight to this.
this is spawned by the regular contributors of the "dysfunctional family
circus", a section of spinnwebe (http://www.spinnwebe.com), where the
owners post a particular comic sans caption, and the loyal readers, along
with the magic of cgi, contribute their own captions. its amazingly
hilarious. if you like the onion, you'll definitely love spinnwebe.
anyway, the "spinnoffs" (the cult of spinnwebe) have decided to infiltrate
amazon.com with amazing reviews, such as the one snipped, of bill keane's
books.
ingenious i must say. especially if you go through all of them and begin to
understand all the inside jokes. :)

the creator of spinnwebe is a near and dear friend of mine, not to mention
an ex-coworker. he's a genius, and a hilarious one to boot.

oh - btw, hi. i'm batty, new to the list, about 2 days now, wasn't gonna
post till i got the feel of things, but this was too good to pass up :)
if you go to the 'it's a dysfunctional life' section, which operates the
same way as DFC except using real-life pictures, go to the archives - i'm
IADL #303 :) otherwise, my urls are in the .sig :)

loving this list. its giving me a heck of a lot of insight.
