I know Andrew comments regularly on T.O.P., but I didn't look up his blog until you mentioned it in your post. His writing is original, thought-provoking, unapologetic and frequently hilarious (especially his dis-robing of many of the Emperors across the web).

The third one made me smile-- love the way the sheep are positioned either perfectly parallel or perpendicular to one another. I I think my favorite, though, is #4, which has all of the characteristics I associate with your style and viewpoint. Hope your head is feeling back to its normal proportions! <br /><br />Elisabeth SElisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214179882864373628noreply@blogger.com
