230th

Guess what today is!  The 230th anniversary of when George Washington made camp with the Continental Army at Valley Forge.  Cool?

Did you know that Friedrich von Steuben's (pronounced STOO, not STOY like Mr. Green does) full name was Baron von Friedrich Wilhem Ludolf Gerhard Augustin Steuben?

Well we all know how Shoetopia Citizen's dreams go... It all starts after she has one too many Dr. Peppers and then having a little bit too much fun with random celebrities.  And we have to make a Brickley's Puppet Pals!  In betweenness!

Alwaysbored: Yum?  I'm not sure that would've been personal choice in words when refering to Orlando Bloom.  Apparently a few people here know him very well.  I think you need to meet Shoetopia Citizen.

Genius:  It is more fun to say "stoy"!
