If there was a previous version of this avatar, I'd like to see it. I've tried the book from several angles, and it just doesn't seem to be "reading" well. I mean, apart from being covered in slime. There is probably some sort of psychological block invovled, because every time I try to work on this one, I relive the horror of the time a swamp creature backed up through my kitchen sink and ate my rhyming dictionary while I was away in NYC. When I got back to the Fenway, my poor old tome was covered in black and white fur, and drooling. And for those of you who are curious, no, this wasn't in gametime. That apartment had some serious draininage and mold issues. But the woman who got it after me had the joy of seven feet of raw sewage when the Muddy River ate the T, and that pleasure was never mine. I got off with a small puddle of slime on the kitchen counters and floor. That beast ate her whole . . . everything really.  It nearly got her boyfriend too, when he insisted on wading through the sewage full of live wires to rescue her cat. He must have made some fabulous saves.</blockquote>
