Personal : Here's a recent pic of me and my girlfriend Trish -- she's the one being ridiculous. My favorite book is "I and Thou" by Martin Buber. None of them knew they were robots. Look at a giant geodesic spy ball. Leisuretown has closed its doors and gone out of business. Check out my webcam! Riddle: what do these words have in common: plunder, lout, sun, stout? Get the answer. Fred Milton, the beat dog, is wordless. Look at the biggest, smelliest flower in the world. My sister makes art. I'm getting into the spirit of the season. And stop scaring the dog already!.
