The E-Sylum is brought to you by a happy bunch of energetic gnumismatic gnomes working 364 days a year, taking Christmas off to help Santa. Here's the merry band.
Pete Smith interjects:
"Correction: Since this is a leap year, the gnumismatic gnomes get to work 365 days."
Leap Day is a holiday. Slackers....
