Häagen-Dazs : five

Hence my discovery of the icon section named Poppi SexNCrime. Unfortunately these are not appropriate for this project, but a great find non-the-less.

A Tough Day for Birds
Apprently someone made this for April Fools Day. Sean found it on Dropular and I can’t help but laugh when I see it. Does that make me a jerk to birds????
