She picked-up some gull street smarts. Lucky for her as she was later enticed by a black crow who fancied her orange plumes. Mavis saved him from witch near Salem and has been with him and his horde ever since. Mavis Lives! Ellis Paul at the University Cafe, Stony Brook this Sunday 2:00 pm. Then Giants / Packers.

Oh man. That's too great. The shirt would have to be orange, naturally. - -- "We were born in a dark age out of due time (for us).
