And another classic preview. Especially for people like me who actually like, nay love, lists and indexes.

A surreal masterpiece in itself.

Could be read aloud. I like it in this skin. Where it says 'you are replying to this message', it spells out the smiley, so reads like this:

petunias admire the lynx
petunias caption the duck
petunias name the bird
petunias find out why the movie is so awful
petunias learn about the bear in the library

Can poetry get any better? smiley - rofl
