Throwing this fish at someone will get you arrested for hawrassement. (Special thanks to Windhover!)

Name: Wooly Bear
Caption: This insect neither has wool nor is it actually a bear-- but it is very fuzzy![/quote]
[/quote]
@Seim I think this one is actuallly pretty good!
@FlareTheDragon
Thanks!
There's a lot of entries for the wooly bear so here's to hoping! :d
No thoughts. Head empty.
Please ping me to get my attention.
XD I'm an idiot I laughed too hard at my own wooly bear joke.
But I loved the one that went
"Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. This caterpillar stole his hair."
That's ky favorite, even if it's in competition against mine.

(also how did you get the caption to pop up on the items because I got the picture, with copying the picture link and inserting it with the ''insert image'' thing but it's not showing up. So could you tell me how you did it? ( if it's not too much to ask )
