Fox-Deco This is the most estate-sale rummage thing I've ever produced. It's a screenshot of my Firefox "New Page" screen.

Oh, the irony.  He and I also don't like clowns.  This image formed immediately in my mind. It represents our version of the super goofy "form of-shape of" incantation of DC's Wonder Twins and their fist bumping. Ja...
