Upload a picture and transform yourself into a different race, age, or painting style. Above is a picture of me and as an East Asian.

Oh yeah, and me as a manga animation.

This guy’s lucky. If there were LEDs attached to his bottles he’d be in jail by now.

FedEx guy: Nope. You can’t ship these either.
Me: But… they’re empty! It’s just air. And… nitrogen? It’s, like, almost 80% of the atmosphere. There’s nothing dangerous about nitrogen, even if it were pure.
FedEx guy: They look too much like bomb-making materials.
Me [going into dumbfounded mode]: Bomb… Neon? What? Is there anything here I can legally ship? How about this bottle of tap water?

I hand him a bottle of Certainty (tagline, “For when it’s preferable to think you know more”), which looks like this:

FedEx guy: Nope. It still looks too suspicious, too much like bomb-making materials.
Me: But it’s “Certainty.” That’s not even a thing. I just made that up. [That’s not strictly true. It’s a scientific term/idea, and we sell it alongside bottles of “Uncertainty.” But it’s like having a bottle labeled “Friendship.”] FedEx guy: It’s just too suspicious.

Danny decided that he wanted to have some fun with his hair before he cut it. He asked me if I would make the mohawk for him. Danny shaved his hair all but the middle inch and a half or so and I brought out the glue. Danny had tried jello before, but that hardly worked at all. This time I would use regular Elmer’s Glue.
