Cedric's Flat Stanley Arrives in Laguna Beach
Exactly one year after Vietnam banned ownership of pet hamsters, Flat Stanley (a.k.a. Stanley Lambchops), arrived in Laguna Beach, California, to help southern Californians usher in daylight-saving time
and prepare for the imminent switch to the DF (Digital Food) format. Flat Stanley, who was encouraged to virtually visit Laguna Beach by Cedric's Uncle Joe, immediately encouraged the town's residents who have not yet made the transition to the more advanced form of sustenance to do so as soon as possible, while at the same time reminding everyone who failed to do so the night before to set their clocks ahead by one hour.
"The only thing Lagunatics who currently rely on analog foods will need is a digital converter box, which you can purchase at any grocery store," Stanley said at a press conference, adding that every Laguna household is eligible for a $40 coupon to digitize its entire pantry. "Digital Format offers higher texture quality and better taste, as well as multiple spice choices and interactive capabilities. I must stress, however, that after the deadline you will no longer be able to eat your current food."
On the heels of Flat Stanley's visit to this little sea side town boasting one art gallery for every resident, President Obama announced his intention to urge the U.S. Senate to pass legislation that would require all food to be completely wireless by 2015.
Legend has it that Flat Stanley became flattened by an "enormous bulletin board while he lay in bed one night. Among other things, he soon discovers that due to his flatness he can easily be put into an envelope and mailed virtually anywhere."

Hey, Mikal--
Thanks for letting me hang out on your blog and get a small taste of what Laguna Beach is all about. Do you really refer to yourselves as Lagunatics?
I'm heading back home today. Life at the Kraynak's was pretty boring. They pretty much worked all the time and had their cats looking after me. Good thing I'm not allergic to cats, because they have four of them.
They did take me up to Purdue to tour the campus, and we visited the Railroad Museum in Linden, Indiana - a teensy weensy town, where even I felt big.
Hopefully I will have an exciting virtual voyage thanks to folks like you. Keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Flat Stanley
