Explanation: The legendary founders of the city of Rome, Romulus and Remus, supposedly were suckled by a wolf. A great story beginning with a tall glass of wolf milk!

(alternatively, 'lupa', 'she-wolf', was Latin slang for a prostitute - something the Romans themselves speculated may have been the true meaning of the story)

That fucking expression on her stupid face, it's so undignified. Also, why no name?

And yes, I'm going to post this every time I see that fucking wolf
