GONE, FOREVER: What you’re seeing up above is a little something I walked up on, pondered a purchase, and headed off to another room hunting for forgotten, long-dead little logos.

Leigh weighed in on this one, over my shoulder, breathing down my neck: “The reason I didn’t grab it, is because I didn’t think you’d like it, dickcheese.”
