I use mascots all over my site. They host different sections here.<\/p>\n

Bozilla the Clown<\/b> makes a cameo here every once in a while and will host my 3D Theatre<\/a> one of these days. The heavy metal goddess, Randi<\/b> can be found in my newsletter<\/a> section. And you see my main dude, CyberPal<\/b> all over the site.
\n
\nThe one splattered all over my rants-n-raves section, SoApBoX<\/a> is the one and only Stress-Man<\/b>… the world’s first neurotic and high-strung Poser Doll.<\/p>\n

He wants more airtime on the site, his own domain name, and a better dental plan, or he’s going to Zeldman.Com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After all I’ve done for this friggin’ ingrate.<\/p>\n
