There are probably two kinds of Monday People.  Ones who say, “Oh, yay!  A cute little project for me to do to break up my day!  I’m totally going to screengrab this and print it off and do it!”  And ones who say, “Yeah, that’s funny, but I’ll be damned if you expect me to print this off and actually solve it.  Ass.”  Which is why I’ve added the answers for you.  If you want to solve this puzzle, go for it!  (Don’t look at the answers if you do!)  But if you just want to figure out who did what to whom and what went down last night on Desperate Housewives, you won’t have to work too hard.*

*If you’re hard up for a real quick mini-cap, let me know in the comments and I’ll do my best to oblige you.

    Love it! Although I didn’t watch last night… it’s up against Game of Thrones, and in this match, Sean Bean wins it every time… I’ll watch it On Demand tomorrow while I’m at home.

    Thanks, guys! It was fun to make — I’m trying to make these minicaps fun and creative, mix it up a little bit! I don’t know what I’ll do next week, though . . . Shakespearean sonnet perhaps? A video of me actually giving the minicap? A comic? Who knows. I sure the hell don’t.

    I feel obligated to tell you that I’ve been ripping off your creativity for my Real World Minicaps. Last week I wrote limericks, and this week it was a rhyming acrostic poem. Shakespearean sonnet was going to be my next move, since that is the only other kind of poem I know how to write. But anyway, just wanted to say I love how you’ve been switching it up!

    Thanks! Same to you! I wasn’t totally on board with the whole mini-cap idea, to tell you the truth, so I just decided to make it as much fun as possible. Whether it’s a poem or . . . other stuff (it’s hard to get too incredibly creative since they have to be in the next day). I don’t know. Thank god we didn’t start doing them until late in the season (for me), otherwise my creativity would be tapped the eff out.
