I have everything, but not in one set. But since I don't care about the
DVD extras, I'm perfectly happy with the fact that I can plop down at

found both of you. Only you're working in a toy store and living in a

mutilated corpse is rotting in an abandoned house on the outskirts of
town, which I found a little bit surprising. But other than that, I
couldn't be happier." -- Ethan Burke, WAYWARD PINES

I think I saw them on YouTube over Xmas break, since the TV in the guest room
was a "smart TV" berift of cable access...

Iraq is imploding

The US is being invaded
Vets are dying
IRS is lying
And Obama is urging our soldiers to fight "global warming".
