Heads and bodies

April 9, 2009 – 13:01

I always knew this day would come. My claim to brief internet fame and niche uniqueness is at an end. It’s just too awesome an idea 1 for someone else not to have it. There’s no denying that both her head and body outpretties mine by far, so my only counterpoint here is that A: [...]
