a seminal case and by most accounts, clinical failure of Sigmund Freud,

Acquired on September 12, 2001 as a potential consolation prize for fiery death
that seemed like it might be awaiting us all.
Occupation: Coating everything, everything with cat fur.
Including, somehow, the ceiling fans. Despite admonitions to stay off the ceiling.
