They also cover whatever\'s on her mind that week - be it the perils of city living or the pop-cultural infiltration of Sex and the City, featuring an array of characters, from a mischievous pony, to reinvented superheroes, to a surly teen duo who could be the anti-Hardy-Boys.

She\'s making jokes about everything we learned in school, and more.
Why? Because she\'s not just making silly jokes.
Her website, Hark! A Vagrant, receives an average of 1.2 million hits a month, 500 thousand of them unique.
