Why is anyone's guess, but then I was told to look at this: www.pillowfightday.com Anyone? -------------------- Woz..

I'm all for spontaneous pillow fights between people at home or someone elses home - but not sure about a whole event dedicated to it? -------------------- In Search Of ...........

People have said that it's too cold in Toronto and Montreal, but no one has spoken up for the nation's capital! Maybe I should organize one in the O-Town...hmmm... Do you think?

Whenever I see a guy wearing jammie bottoms in public, I automatically assume it's his boyfriends turn to do laundry. I agree btw the spontaneity appeal of the pillow fight. Planning kills it. Kinda like restraints that way I suppose. -------------------- This is all I got. I couldn't make this up
