DavidB 0 #7 August 20, 2009 Quote I thought you were trying to quit smoking.at 1:24 you can see pillow biter next to the lady selling balloons. You're right! How could I miss that the first time through? I like how Jim's knees open & close during the smoke deployment process. So, do those things have a habit of bouncing back up into your lap, or what? When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
