Remember those old Star Wars trading cards? You know, before it was called Star Wars IV: The New Hope - it was just Star Wars. And in every pack of trading cards there was a sticker shaped like a letter with a very blurry still from the movie as the graphic. This is a generator for those letter stickers! Type in your name and be amazed!

We have a very small grocery store/gas station/florist shop/deli/pizza shop here in town. (town has about 800 people in it) We have massive influxes of people during hunting season... and thus you can find things like this on the shelves of the store next to the cake mix.



Happy New Year everyone!
