common, dolphins are carnivorous predators that hunt in organized packs, and sometimes go on killing rampages when they're sexually frustrated, but if that has a calming influence on you, glad to be of service.

common, me, too. the dolphin avatar started out as a fluke, back in 1988 on a BBS, while the Web was still a twinkle in Tim Berners-Lee's eyes. someday, fleep might even move.

bluebird online:

@Fleep how could a dolphin start out as a fluke (whale)? That sounds like a demotion on the evolutionary scale. hehe Sorry, I just couldn't stop myself.

Got a shiny new haircut to impress all the grannies with on New Years eve. But it is going to cost me a visit to the archives to catch this cool collection fashioned by DJPB.

This is one of my favorite songs of 2013, but I am saddened Paul B. did not hamfistedly overdub the word "freaking" in his own voice to replace each curse.
