       taking pictures of yourself ironing in unusual locations.

       

      Wait.  Is that what the kids are doing now?  Planking, owling, Jolieing, ironing?

              Not taking MdS seriously REALLY starches my shirt.

               

                I think this is really dumb. Now what's this jolieing you're talking about?
