Of course I look more handsome in my natural coat, but it is not stamped
with an emblem of the list.  If I can't have a shirt, I'll have to see
about having WORDS-L shaved into my natural fur.  That idea is not appealing
since either the shaving would have to be repeated from time to time or I
would have to undergo permanent fur-removal in that shape, thereby making
it difficult if I ever wanted to spy on another list without revealing my
affiliation.  I might, for example, want to let the fur grow back to its
normal state before going to a ProjectH convention.

P.S.  You *do* sound specist, btw.  I think Natalie looks better without
clothes on.  Yet nobody has raised the question of why the human members
of the list need shirts.
