Blog Guy, you’re known for setting up fantasy photos for your readers. Well, I have this vision of a guy in the Alps, see, shooting a hair dryer at skiers while a big old washing machine on skis sneaks behind him. Can you help me out?

Are you on any medication?

Maybe. Are you?

I guess that’s a fair point. Okay, in your fantasy, is the washing machine a top-loader or front-loader?

A top-loader, of course.

And is the hair dryer plugged in with a long extension cord?

No, that would just be weird.

Right. Sorry, I guess I lost my head for a minute. Here you go, now stay away from me.

So… A laser tag game where people have to put on a box if they’re caught?

You know… You can’t just put people in boxes. Some of them tend to join cults if they don’t fit in.

There are speed limits for skiing?
