@FreuderLocks Absolutely not. Her voice is charming in its natural state.

Did you folks sing this at the festival this weekend?

[tackyjulie]

No, we were invited, but Fruita is a little far for us East Coast dwellers. Maybe next year.

[xowktiger]

this one lived for 18 months, and died because his mucus suffocated him, and the owner didn't have his syringe with him, so he couldn't do anything.

@flabbywalrus No joke. Look it up.

I was thinking of writing a song about Mike the Headless Chicken but I couldn't get the tune to Puff the Magic Dragon out of my head. This is way better.
