I Have the Most Awesome Viewers Evah!

I received this most awesome belly full o’ laughter courtesy of Julie, aka juliebie, today…..How vain is it to own a t-shirt with your own face on it?  Will you all still respect me?  Will I respect myself?  The answers to these questions are without bearing on my decision, ’cause clearly I’m about to get this on a t-shirt.  and a bag.  and maybe a mug.
