Did you wish to smile today, bad news on the economy be damned?

Wish granted.

For this I will say but once,
‘Matters not the bounteous toys
Thou givest to the Rubes,
For nothing holds her heart alone
Except car keys and thine iPhone.’

Design Commission came up with this awesome website stencil kit.

That you want to buy.

With money.

Given to Design Commission.

That (a portion of) is paid to Jay.

Which he will use to buy Ruby a balloon and a toilet brush.

That will make her very, very happy.

Like so.
