Last night depression hit like beat-up unmarked van barreling down Park Avenue and there was nothing I could do about it. My usual methods (horror movies, writing, computer games, talking to myself) were powerless to stop it.

Then I remembered a couple of aliens who could always entertain me (provided I was watching Sesame Street at the right moment). Needing no further introduction, I bring back The Yip Yips.

Yip Yips Meet the Telephone

Yip Yip’s Der Computer

And my favorite:

Yip Yips Discover a Radio

As you can see, the Yip Yips are coming across some pretty cutting-edge technology. Maybe some educational show will make a new generation of Yip Yips to examine iPods and wireless routers. We have much to learn from these gentle creatures…

    The yip yips are prescription strength available conveniently over the counter.

    Hope you’re less depressed now than the time you needed them to smile ya.

    But what happens when depression hits you like a bag of yips?

    Or do we just not want to think about such a nightmarish scenario? (I think I’ll go curl my knees under my chin and shake in a corner now. Otherwise known as “Sunday”.)
