I’m sure I have a copy of this floating around somewhere, but I’ve never seen it. I should dig that out.

Watch out for this guy when he gets steamed.

OK, so we finished up our B-Fest monsters yesterday, due to the monster famine in the line-up's second half. So let's move on.

I didn't think I'd get out of the trailer park because they hadn't plowed since mid-afternoon the day before. The day I spent shoveling over and over and over…
