My favorite time of the year. 

Shamefulness abounds in the socio-politico-econo-world, so why not extend the turmoil here?

PS - how to make an Etch-a-Sketch of you in 5 minutes:
Google images for an Etch-a-Sketch.
Shade the screen middle gray.
Get one of your pictures and crop it to fit the screen - erase the background leaving your profile.
In Photoshop use the 'Smart Blur' filter with these settings: 
Quality: High 
Mode: Edge Only

adjust Radius and Threshold for best results.

Invert image and merge in Photoshop layer (or use a blending mode).

I'm just throwing this out there:

Hey!  I've got that 'un!

I saw them live '88, Keeper Of The Seven Keys tour.
My friend passed the singer a lighted pumpkin and he put it on top of a Marshall stack, where it stayed for the rest of the show. 
To us 15 year olds this was mind blowing.
