I'm a firm believer in news-by-flier, and there have been some gems around T-town lately.

Take the postcard I snagged the other day at Blackwater, published by Rusty George Creative, a local marketing firm.

It seems that today is Create Something Weird Day.

Says RGC:

We know what you're thinking. We forgot to make a Weird Holiday this month and now we're passing the buck. Like one of those fondue restaurants that make you cook your own food. Au contraire! This is an unprecedented opportunity for self-discovery. YOU may be even weirder than you ever imagined.

Imagine that.

Anywho, you can go to www.rustygeorge.com/weird to make up your own weird thing.

I'm proposing a Dress Up Your Cat in an Irksome Costume Day. I got inspired looking at the photos in our reader-submitted pet names gallery. Especially this entry from a reader who writes, "This is my cat Gummo in his bat suit, which makes him feel fierce and also very peeved."

I know the feeling.

My own dear Sescie Sugarplum would look ravishing in a similar getup.

So do your part and Keep Tacoma Weird. We're so good at it anyway. And if anyone has any of their own weird ideas, please do share. It's what we live for.
