I tried explaining the steamer trunk "crowding out" joke but I got blank stares. <br /><br />Sigh.

Yay!)Steve_0https://www.blogger.com/profile/05926888293484147348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-13308776065882090762009-04-30T02:58:00.000-04:002009-04-30T02:58:00.000-04:00Angus must have it right.
