Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in, where a man dressed up as a BAT gets all of my press?

Your Monday just got a whole lot better, because guess what? This week we're having a contest! With prizes! We'll each be posting childhood pictures of ourselves and all you have to do is caption them, LOL or otherwise. We'll announce the winners on Friday, and then PRIZES.

Here's me at eight, circa 1986.



Plus, because I have no shame and a trunk of goodies from childhood that I refuse to throw away, here's me at twenty-nine, circa yesterday. Actually I do have a little shame. Despite Amy's most ardent begging I refused to wear purple tights.
