It's time for Snowpocalypse Bingo!

If you're stuck at home -- judging from today's workplace turnout, a lot of you are -- print yourself a few of these bingo cards, turn on your favorite (or least favorite) TV meteorologist and get ready for some serious LOLZ.

You can thank my friend and colleague Erica Smith for this. She's genius -- and she does great imitations.

A holiday surprise

Handmade social-media ornaments on the Christmas
tree at my desk. Also visible are Weatherbird's
underpants and a monkey wearing a crown.

I just noticed somebody left some awesome social-media ornaments on my Barbie-size Christmas tree! I have a feeling it was Erica. Or Weatherbird.

Design monkey

Prezzies! My friend and coworker Erica just gave me this.

"This is a very special monkey," she told me. At her previous job, a
reader called to complain that a monkey could design news pages. When
Erica left that job, her coworkers gave her this monkey puppet. He
meows like a cat when you put your hand inside.

Any ideas for names?
