I. Love. Gifs. Seeing things in motion really makes me happy. But we all have those gifs that we love but never seem to have the right time or place for. Now is the time. Here is place. Show … Continue reading Gifs You Don’t Get to Use Enough

But until then, hopefully we can enjoy another Mueller Monday where people who have broken the law get indicted in public for all to see. And I think all of us would like to take our joy where we can right now. Besides, it couldn’t happen to a better bunch of dirtbags. Please remember to be kind to your fellow Avocados.
