Some creative person\/people took photos of little baby chicks in various poses with various backdrops and props and made them all bitter, jaded folks seeking relationships. It was cute, but not something I needed to keep. I put it up for sale on Amazon (along with 20 or so other books).<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ve been selling these books since I moved in October and they&#8217;ve all been bought buy the same person I&#8217;ve been shipping them to.

Maybe it&#8217;s the that. Otherwise, I think I may have contributed to something horrible.<\/p>\n<p>I know, I know &#8211; the photo isn&#8217;t of a chick&#8230;but how many chick photos do you have in your photo collection?
