I would rather have a personal demonic milquetoast, but one makes do with what one has.<br /><br />In my defense, I didn't really mean to. There was an ebay auction, and I put in the minimum bid as a lark, and then I won it, to my chagrin. It's not like I can wear it anywhere. It's dyed rabbit, which I think is the fur equivalent of polyester. But it is very warm, and I don't hold heat well on my own. Also, it makes me feel the very model of decadent monarchy.<br /><br />(And, yes, it bothers me, but I eat meat and wear leather, and I have never had pretensions to saintliness.)
