Back in season 1 we covered the "Worlds Ugliest Dog Award". The prize went to little Miss Ellie. She died recently aged 17, and we thought we'd pay a little homage to the adorable scamp. Just don't bring your mirror.

Pine Berries

If a funky little Stawberry turns up at your party, and it's white instead of red. Don't worry, it's not a zombie, it's a Pineberry. Below is the extract from their website

"Pineberries are actually the oldest strawberry variety and were brought from Chile to France in the 1700’s. Originally strawberries were white in south America and Red in north America (known as scarlets). Crossings between the Chilean white Pineberry and the north American scarlets, produced Fragaria ananassa, which is the base material for all the common strawberry varieties we have today."

We also mentioned the Pineanas hoax and promised you all an image. And darn-TOOTIN if we don't deliver the goods.

Plot Twist: Bittersweet Candy bowl

Recording with a cold this week guys so please, bear with me! Also, no Jenjen didn't post the update schedual that late, I was just exaggerating.

Anyway! this week, bittersweet Candy Bowl, Drawn and written by Taeshi. The story is a fun read, but has plenty more potential. The Art is okay, but it is clear that the artist has more talent that she doesn't excersize on this. The update schedual is fine, it updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And the comic even has a shorter summary of all events for new readers.

Total three out of Four comic panels.

The comic can be found at www.bittersweetcandybowl.com

Taeshi is on deviant art as http://taeshilh.deviantart.com (I dare you to try and pronounce that!)

I can be contacted at Shirou14@hotmail.com or Shirou14 on the forums. Have fun! I'm going to go party! =D

Discussion Topic:
Improving your Meets, out & about

Last episode we talked about improving your house\personal meets. Where a small section of the community comes together at a private residence and hangs out. What to do? Art james, movies and relaxed socializing won out as the favorites. But what about when you have a meet outside the house? At a park, a bar, in the City or somewhere else?

For this episode we discuss taking your meets Out and About. What works and what doesn't. if you've got a tip or suggestion we didn't mention on the show, please send it in to mail@actfuronair.com
