Inspired by Muffaroo’s comment, I figured it was time to issue Card #2 in the Mark Trail Bingo!<\/strong><\/em> series.\u00a0 (You can find Car #1 here: \u00a0 http:\/\/snarkitupfuzzball.nexiliscom.com\/?p=2974 ).\u00a0\u00a0 I still may have to tailor a Bingo!<\/em><\/strong> card specifically based on Muffaroo’s keen observations:<\/p>\n

And yes, YES<\/em>, YES!<\/em><\/strong> I did do a Muffaroo Special Edition! (I have no life, but I still manage to enjoy myself.)<\/p>\n
