In celebration of April Fool's Day I thought it would be fitting to celebrate April Foo's Day, in honor ofmy partner in crime, Foodad. Here are links to some of the best articles Foodad has written over the last year. Enjoy!
The Princess Guide (The Big 6)
Cinderella –
This may be the most important to know. Little girl’s father (LOADED
WITH MONEY) dies after which her step mother shows her true colors. Her
Fairy godmother hooks her up with some cool threads and a phat ride to

having to leave because the magic wears off at midnight. She
leaves a glass slipper behind which the King’s minions eventually use

In this world, there are baby locks. And then there are BABY LOCKS. One such lock that warrants an all-capped treatment is known as the cabinet flex lock from Safety 1st. It is also known in my house as the Bowtie of Pain. Perfect, isn"t it? The name? Before you go and try to register the domain, save yourself the trip, I already own Bowtieofpain.com. (OK, that is a lie. I have to stop lying to you people.) Those who have experienced this wunderkind of plastic will know that this lock combines protection, versatility, and swagger all into its yellow and gray body.
