    Rant: The Beave's new avatar. Looks like it comes from Stormfront.

    Side by side comparison:

    It's a celtic cross, but the version she chose appears to be associated with neo-fascists:

    Wikipedia Celtic Cross
    Wikipedia Neo-fascism

    It could'be been unintentional given beaver is in fact celtic. Well, assuming she changes it when she realizes how bat shit insane it makes her look.

    On the other hand ...

    Look at the file links section of the Wikipedia Celtic Cross entry that Mougar posted for a list of the sites that hotlink that image. I think that says it all.

    But if you're not working, she has to spend more time with you- how can that be a rave?

    Rave: My mom and I have the same brain- we both agree that the commercial for those two-in-one Purel detergent/dryersheet product (which I have and love) is epically annoying- the woman says something like "this makes my life a thousand times better! No more measuring!" as she is standing in a beautiful, sunwashed laundryroom which is larger than my entire apartment. Her life sure is tough. They should have showed some poor brooklynite lugging 45lbs of laundry uphill in the snow and highlighted how their product saves weight during said trek (and yes, I'm feeling sassy today.)

    Rave: I'M FUCKING GOING TO SKOOOOOL (knock on wood that nothing horrible happens)

    Rant: no one will eat hoff with me tonight.

    Rave: the petstore on 5th ave bt 2nd-3rd rules...they gave bruno two free soft-food sample thingies today which will take him about two weeks to eat. WIN.

    ...I will be happier and more pleasant to be around now that I am out of detention.

    She'll get a clean house and meals.

    Dude will get quality time with the number #1 owner in the world.

    My former co-workers will get to be laid off by someone else

    NYS will get to close a failing non-profit

    I'll get to lose 10 lbs because I'll ride my bike

    Brooklynians will have to read less inane dribble because I won't have to be at a desk doing no work.

    ...everyone wins

    Yes, Mom. There's not much they can do for a broken toe other than wrap it though. If indeed it's broken. But I will go to my doc...
