Once upon a time, when I was a young lad, I was at Catskill Game Farm in the acres-wide petting area. I spied a baby goat, seemingly all alone, bleating by a tree. I knelt to feed this little fellow, and for a few moments my entire attention was devoted to his evilly adorable little face (and trying to keep him from having my fingers...

I was never really a Linkin Park fan. But as someone who has struggled with depression my whole life, it saddens me when anyone loses that fight.

I bring to your attention today a severe injustice. @tastyzombie must be made Pink immediately. This girl is the essence of what the Suicide Girls stand for. She was born for it, she lives it every day... she embodies the spirit of alternative beauty in every way. She is like the hottest little evil fucking Brian Froud faerie you have ever laid eyes upon. She
