Zabco:

Re: What happened?

You'll find that Plastic Pooping Robots are much like cats, you don't acquire them - they acquire YOU.

Re: Chevy K30 U-haul Maxi-mover 1973-75

Re: Chevy K30 U-haul Maxi-mover 1973-75

I got the idea for the Rock Chow bags from the Purina Lion Chow scene in "2nd Hand Lion."
