"Butterface" is too kind, it implies that the rest of her looks okay. The confederate flag makes anything ugly. DX
That's true, also. One thing I hate about living in Texas is that I see it more often than I should.
Try living here. I really don't let it bother me all that much. I'm proud of my heritage and where I come from and all but the groups that the ole confederate battle emblem has been adopted by really leaves a vile taste in my mouth. I am a Southerner and I ain't ashamed of it. Thanks to the damn skinheads and KKK though, we all get lumped together as bigots. Well I'll just keep working extra hard to try and illustrate that hate does not define us.
Well, I'm originally from Massachusetts, so, well, 'nuff said about that.

Whereabouts in MA? Boston area?
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Yep. I think it was Somerville, specifically.

Millie is clearly plotting how she can get her paws on some of her own fireworks.

Well, her mom is holding her down and it looks like Llewellyn's tail is ready to grab her if she tries anything.

I've read that the flag shown in the South these days is a tweaked variant of the flag of the Confederacy. It's supposed to stand for states' rights, not secession or slavery.

I still hate it.
The famous flag is actually the flag of the Confederate Navy, when rectangular. A square version is the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.

And anyway, Confederate Independence Day is February 7.

Yup that is true. Any thoughts on what the bikini version stands for?

Well put. Still there are a few young ladies I know that would look pretty damn sexy in that.

I just noticed that she has a "NAVY" coozy on her beer can. Presumably the U.S. Navy.

Oh, the irony.
