Though communications carriers do not offer this type of continuous communication as a service today, the piece parts are already in place. [PRWEB Dec 20, 2004]

Object of desire

Object of desire 01/05/2005 08:35 AM

« An innocent killer bunny at the Zoo. It looks like he has survived multiple holy hand grenade attacks unscathed as he is surrounded by craters. »

For years I searched for the perfect pair of bunny slippers but couldn't find anything in my size or what I pictured a classic pair of bunny slippers should look like. I finally resolved to make my own which worked out rather well but I noticed the most amazing pair of slippers in a shop window that I just had to have, Killer Bunny with Pointy Teeth slippers ala Monty Python. I'm going to have to find some appropriate knights of the round table to put in the gaping maw. I wonder what Freud would say about my lust for bunny slippers. The similarly afflicted will find the object of their desire at Good Fellows Comics. :)
