So. You mean to tell me that NONE of you know who Bob Fosse is?  I’m shocked that none of you could tell me that it was Bob Fosee that created the Amoeba, the Drip, and the Zonk. Shocked. :) (that would be #9 on the last set of trivia questions i posted.)

Since today is February first the birthday list there in the sidebar has been switched up. (It’s an automatic thing, it’s not like I’m taking credit.) But I noticed it cause it’s sort of a weird listing. There are three February birthdays.  (Technically two - but we’ll get to that in a minute.) They’re all right in a freaking row too.  the 24th (FFAF), the 25th (OHB) and the 26th (Pandora.) Neat trick, huh? :) I know, it’s not really that cool, but I think it’s kinda cool. But I’m a sucker for patterns like that.  Now. Technically the 24th isn’t a Birthday, it’s an anniversary.  It’s the TWO YEAR anniversary of Free for All Friday actually.  Last year we did a scavenger hunt (that didn’t work out so well) with all the blogs participating in FFAF.  We haven’t quite decided what to do THIS year, but rest assured we are doing something. :)
