sitting around with the wife, brother and sister-in-law over thanksgiving we started one of those word games that quickly spirals out of control leaving you unable to think about anything else for hours on end. the end result was a list of rap artists with names changed slightly to make them into animals. the overlords at McSweeney's apparently weren't partial to the genius of our submission, but that doesn't mean we can't still subject the world to it. observe:

See? It's addictively fun! I'm sad that we were denied by McSweeney's. At least we have the self-publishing option of Balgavy....
