Interestingly, _now_ the original picture displays when it didn’t before. Picture linking is weird.

Dunno. The original gave me an 1101 Error, then Lumpy’s repaste worked fine. I posted my witty response, THEN the original showed up for me, as well.

🎶  
“Love is here  
And, oh my darling, now you’re gone  
You made me love you  
And oh my darling, now you’re gone  
You said loving you would make life beautiful  
With each passing day  
But as soon as love came into my heart  
You turned and you walked away.”

LIKE H\*\*\* YOU’RE WALKING AWAY. THIS AIN’T THE DAYS OF THE SUPREMES ANYMORE. GET YOUR A\*\* BACK HERE.
