5. Excellent point.
It can make us all seem like vapid, materialistic caricatures.

13. I made a nice, photo-paper print of some of these and laminate
them. I give them for bookmarks to friends and made a sticker on the back that made it look like it came from a real museum store. My favorite is Sunday on the Pot With George.

4. You and GD. Are they messing with you again?
You have to gear up before you go in there. It is a love--hate relationship!

7. Naw, I just read the thread about "POLICE - OPEN THE DOOR!"
It took about two seconds for that to turn into a flame war.

I DIG that smiley. Change the sword to a baseball and it looks like a catcher.

Hey -- are there any baseball smilies? Strictly of the small yellow face type? Hmm...
