Post 14: The Most Portable Title Ever

**The writers of "Santa's In The Trunk" would like to apologize for the lack of posts. It turns out the concoction of mushrooms and Robitussin we consumed to write the last segment were a bit more potent than we'd expected. Needless to say we'll miss the fine people of Zambia, we're not sure how we ended up there but they sure were friendly. Also, please enjoy the new Sidebar of Awesomeness.**

Researchers at Northwestern have officially deemed lighting your farts as "awesome".


What's Happening in Estonia?:
Festival Day, a celebration marking the day that authorities finally caught the dreaded "Willow Tree Humper". Traditional foods for Festival Day include gray mush and slightly grayer mush (both of which taste like salmon).
