It was bad enough when the ads centered on just one walking, talking mucus wad--who looks and acts suspiciously like Danny DeVito--and things got worse when Mr. Mucus took a bride. (Snot can get married but gays can't?) Naturally, Mr. and Mrs. Mucus started a family, and today brought a plush novelty version of the Mucus family's beloved son to my desk.

I'd know that Spanish accent anywhere. It's tattooed on the back of my brain.

The swag is funny though, heh.

(Those aren't my pictures - my Eneman ornament is packed away with the rest of the Christmas decorations.)

I do want a snotty Mucinex nose -- I might look on eBay -- which is far, far from Chesapeake Bay, you vile, fascist fish!
