Left to Right

I forgot to give this one a title

2008-12-12T22:07:00.000-08:00

Of note:
-The woman in white just sneezed.
-The guy in blue on the left is welcoming the bat in a way that suggest he could be suffering from pretty severe depression and is just seeking an end to it all. I hope, for his and his family's sake, he finds the help he needs.
-What's up with the lady in the bottom right's arm? It looks like one of those turkey legs you get at the Renaissance Festival.

-I think I may've seen pig-tails in a few videos on the internet.

V.I.P.

2008-05-12T04:48:00.000-07:00
