You know, we may be evil over in the mirror universe, but we've made great strides in technology. As just one example, we've got these pieces of paper with dates written on them that you can use to help you remember to do stuff!

We call them "Calendars".

Right now, mine says that it's the time of the year when I should show up around these parts to be evil, but really, I figured that your new management has that covered already. I think there's a 27B-6: Request for Snark Requisition Form you've got to be filling out before you even <i>think</i> of replying to this.

So what's up in this end of the multiverse? I've had more free time over here than I expected, so I've been catching a few movies. You know, this new Batman movie is almost identical to its' Evil Alternate Universe counterpart; the only difference is that where I'm from, it's considered a tragedy, and the title is "The Joker's Grand Day Out".

Heyo, Jux here on behalf of our new corporate sponsors. Best Thing Ever has a brand new look, just in time for the climactic end-of-the-year showdown. I'm glad to say, things will only be getting better from here. Our mission won't be changed by our new board of directors too much, but they do get executive decision over all the polls we'll be posting from here on. Don't worry! You can still expect the same wacky antics and craaazy fun you've grown used to - only now, we have focus groups hard at work to make sure we won't offend anybody! I hope you're as excited about this new step as we are.
