    Was in a pet shop the other day. They had a big box of things you could throw for you dog. Among them were branded items. Among the branded items were MLP products.

Another day, another fine Magritte picture of a horse to use as an avatar.

It's from the melting-clocks guy. Of course it's trippy. >_>

Wasnt that Dali?

Magritte is the wonderful chap who brought such finery as The Son of Man and Youth Illustrated.
