The LexiFUNnicon
Forklike, I continue my multi-pronged efforts to bring yet another
morsel of fun closer to the mouths of the many. We who hunger for
fun. We who tour the supermarket of the world with all the varieties
of fun so temptingly displayed before us in the freezer cases of truth,
and walk away fun-hungry, fun starved. We know exactly what we want.
We just don't know how to read the packages. Which is why I
