Talk to us. Here are the various ways we can be communicated with...you know in case you need help with your algebra homework.

• E-mail. You can go ahead and e-mail or and fill them in on your favorite recipes for custard or whatever crazy shit you've got to say. Or if it's not a question or comment directed at either of us in particular (possibly for our dog, Cooper) then just send that to our general account and we'll get right back to ya.

• AOL Instant Messenger. Eh, Josh talked us into signing up for that crappy thing, so we use it on occasion. While we might not be fiends and on there chatting all the time, check for us and we'll shoot the shit for a minute. Click to talk to Amanda or Chris and an IM window will open to begin the conversation. If you don't have AIM started, a dialog box will prompt you to log in. And the IM window will come up regardless of whether we are on or not. So you may click the link, get all logged in, and get the chat window open, only to find out that we are not kicking it on AIM at the moment.

• Newsletter. Heh. Why not. This can be a good way to stay informed on various things around the site, such as photo gallery updates, news, or something added to the Fun Stuff page. Or we could just randomly drop a rant on you. You never know what you might get. But it'll probably be good either way. So with that said, go sign up.

• Autographs. Yeah. For some reason, we still get autograph requests. It's pretty goofy. And we try to help out. But now we'd like to set up some kind of guidelines for it instead of all the requests having their own little circumstances. If you'd like an autograph (see a sample) then we would like for you to send a 9x12" self-addressed (and full postage pre-paid) envelope to:

PO Box 90422
Sioux Falls, SD 57109

Include $2 for each autograph request. This helps cover the sometimes misjudged cost of postage and limits crazy requests of autographs for your entire family. Obviously we are not looking to make a profit on this by asking for $2. We're poor kids. We only won a pack of cigarettes and a Twinkie™ for finishing 11th. If the postage you have purchased is sufficient, then the $2 gets sent back to you. Or we buy something nutty with it and send that to you instead. Whatever happens it will be worthwhile.

By the way, the flyer that we sign (8 1/2 x 11" glossy stock and printed in full laser color) was what we used to notify our friends and family that we were going to be on the Race. About a day after stuff went up at CBS.com, we did a mass mailing of these and waited for the reaction to pour in. It was pretty freaking cool.
