He looks shifty!

looks like a kindergarden poster.

should check out the guinness posters from all around the world. my parents saw it in dublin, ireland. they got a pic of a poster from sarawak from the 80s! it's a lady in traditional garb carrying a pint of guinness with gawai greets. gawai is the native end-of-harvest festival celebrated on 1-2 June. During that time, everyone gets knock out by moonshine. :)

Ben, he does look a little shifty. I like the design, though.

Wena, funny you mention that Guiness poster today, on St. Patrick's Day! It's sort of like Gawai, except substitute Guiness for moonshine.
