[Elfsea] A T-Shirt for all of our Bards

[Miss Pict]

Ok,

After seeing this a number of times I have to comment. Can't help myself.

Even if the word hos is now considered a common word, it is still rude and 
degrading. Whenever I see it or hear someone use it the first thing that 
comes to mind is what kind of low life is this???

Just an old farts out burst.
