STANLEY TAKES A BRIDE ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!

Look out, Hugh Hefner, there's a new Playboy in town and his credentials put yours to shame. On paper, that is. His name is Flat Stanley and he was created by Bob and Joyce's grandson, Colin, as part of a school project. If you've never heard of Flat Stanley, you don't know what your missing. The character originated in a children's book about a boy named Stanley who became flatter than a pancake when a bulletin board fell on his head. In 1995, an enterprising school teacher in Canada created a Flat Stanley Project whereby elementary school students all over the world create their own Flat Stanley cut-outs and see what sort of adventures the character can have in a one-month period. If today is any indication, Colin's Flat Stanley is not just a cut-out, he's a cut-up. He started the day with a cappuccino at 7th and Montana, went for a brief swim in a puddle on 7th Street, slipped-in an Acupuncture Session with Dr. Feng and then it was off to Vail, Colorado on a Private Jet with Howard and Cathy. Oh, and in between all of this he found time to get married. The bride, a Colorful Character known locally as Crystal Crayola, celebrated the nuptials by dying her hair to match Stanley's florescent orange pants and tie ...!
