Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin

Deena gives great tiaras. The one she sent me resides on Roderick the Skull on my desk at home, where I can gaze upon it and marvel.

But I still want a goat, damnit. For me.

Well, heck. So buying a bunch of trees for druidic friends wouldn't be as cool as I thought it would be.
