A quote by Boojum
Seen on alt.fan.furry during one of the persistant and pernicious flamewars. The Hypertext markup is by me, Miavir.
boojum the brown bunny sneaks quietly into the room and carefully pins
a sheet of parchment to the wall. He steps back to make sure the
carefully scribed sheet is level.... then sneaks back out again.
Returning to his quiet burrow.
