Man, it's been a long weekend, hasn't it?

The Mold-a-Rama machine still delights because you watch the made-on-the-spot process before gingerly picking up your still-warm memento.
We're down to writing stories about the Mold-a-Rama machine.

You don't know what a Mold-a-Rama machine is, Bunky? Well, neither do I. But there are 68 of them "across the Midwest and Texas," this guy claims, and nearly a third of them in Chicago. So it's a wonder I missed seeing one, I guess. Or maybe I did see one but just didn't know what it was - apparently some kind of machine that manufactures plastic souvenir geegaws while you wait. Maybe even watch.

Maybe I should have stayed in bed.
