Hey, everyone! InkIsIt's Maxwell Bluum with some (kind of) good news. My dearest Miranda has finally come home from her charity mission, though a few days late. I was worried sick about her. Combine that with my latest printer frustrations and the last few days have been hell-ish. Naturally, when I finally saw Miranda, I had a couple of questions regarding why it took her so long to come home and she never called to tell me she'd be late. She explained that she missed her flight by accident and didn't have money to get a new one or make a phone call. She had to get some money quick, so she entered a marathon that had a $10,000 prize for first place. Apparently she won and, just before she was about to purchase a plane ticket, noticed she could get a hot air balloon ride for half the price. She opted for the balloon ride (totally understandable) and just got home.

Well, here's my issue: Miranda is flat-footed. How she won a marathon is beyond me. I've seen her run -- she looks like on an ostrich with hot coals strapped to her feet. Did Miranda lie? If so, what was she doing for the last few days?

One confused bugger,

Maxwell Bluum

Hey, folks, it's InkIsIt internet sensation Maxwell Bluum with some great news. Ever since my lover Miranda left for her charity work, I no longer have an appetite! Nor do I need to sleep! Nor do I have money for rent! And I feel grrrrrrreat! Haha! Whoopee! I haven't been this happy since that time my printer stopped working.

Sobbingly,

Max

P.S. Miranda, if you're reading this, please come home!

Hey, gang, InkIsIt's Nathan Bannigann here and I've found myself in a confusing situation, even more confusing than the time I couldn't get my color printer to work. In hopes of doing something special for my wife Jennifer, I thought it would be fun to get married again. But first, I had to propose. So, on our anniversary, I took her out to a candlelit dinner at an affordable buffet, took out a ring, got down on one knee, and asked, "Mrs. Nathan Bannigann, will you marry me again?" She thought for a second, then replied: "No."
"Excuse me?"
"I'm sorry, Nathan. I'm just not ready."
And with that, my wife refused to marry me again. Now, we're already married, so basically I'm not really sure where I stand. She's not really talking to me either. Does anyone know what might be going on? Any advice is appreciated.

Befuddledly,

Nathan

Folks, excuse me if I'm a little freaked out, but InkIsIt's very own Nathan Bannigann had the nightmare of all nightmares last night. All I remember is: I was trying to print a picture of a tennis ball, but my printer kept erroring, or it would only print half the picture, or it would print a picture of a 25' tall, butter-knife wielding monster. When I woke up, I tried to use my real printer, but it wouldn't work. Now I know what you're thinking: Nathan Bannigann doesn't get mad; he gets even. That's not true. I do get mad and I keep things uneven. So, I'm pretty much helpless against these lousy printers.

Ugh,

Nathan Bannigann

Helllooooo, everybody. Nathan Bannigann's my name and my game is printing. Might wanna grab some tissues before you read this one, because it is a sad one. It all started about a week ago when I was printing a picture of the family dog, Derrick, to send to my son, also Derrick, while he's away at his grandmother's (Derrick as well). Everything was going fine: I printed the picture, put it in an envelope, and sent it off. But just today, I got a call from Derrick crying his eyes out because he thought Derrick, the dog, lost his head. Turned out I had printed a bottom tease -- it printed everything but the head and poor Derrick thought his dog was dead. Boy, did I laugh. But, after a second I was able to regain my composure and explain to Derrick that his dog was still alive, and that the picture he saw was just a bottom tease. Derrick stopped crying for a second, but after a moment he started crying all over again. That's when I learned the only thing that saddens Derrick more than the thought of his dog without a head is a bottom tease. To make everyone feel better, I took the three Derricks out for ice cream.

Thoughtfully,

Your Ink Is It Host Nathan

Hey, everyone, Maxwell Bluum here! Guess what, folks? It was a lonely Valentine's Day so I've just reentered the ol' dating scene. Unfortunately, I've stumbled out of the blocks, some might say. Last night, I took out a woman named Francis McDonald-McDouglas who I met paying a toll on the freeway. Per a suggestion in "Serious Daters Weekly", we rented a romantic comedy feature film and snuggled up with a garbage bag's worth of cheddar popcorn. To my delight, Francis was able to eat the whole bag herself! To commemorate the moment, I took a picture of Francis holding the empty bag and printed it for her. Unfortunately, my printer smudged the picture, making Francis appear like something you might see in a horror film starring a monster. Needless to say, she was not pleased and stormed out my condo, taking some cash I had lying around with her. It was one of those moments where you wish your printer functioned consistently and you had a bank account.

So, my printer has set me back once again. If there's anyone out there who shares my love of printing, loves popcorn, and is not bothered by the sight of misshaped toes, feel free to email me at max@inkist.com.

Your friend (and more?),

Maxwell
