This next song propelled Eddie Murphy’s music career and was on the top 10 billboard for 120 days. I hear the youngens googling.
 
Alright, this has nothing to do with anything but while on YouTube I came across the best Christmas commercial ever ( that was the title) And since it brought tears to my eyes ( I’m a big softy or maybe it’s because I’m on prednisone) and Christmas is less than 5 months away I had to post it. Oh by the way, I have got my Christmas shopping done, I only buy for my wife and she does the rest. After seeing her face when she opened the broom I got her last Christmas I found a matching and same brand mop at Dollar General. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but hey you only live once!

That just means it's time for a tank upgrade. 😉 Why don't you start a gofundme like Kevin did, we all know how that went for him. People aren't scared of you though so I'm sure you'll get lots of donations! 😉 😉
Lol not a bad idea. It's just that mine would turn into gofundmykids lol
 
You are my brother and the Smorg is family. Feel free to call me Rock. Jill sent me a DM the other day and started it with "Hey Rock"... I felt this big smile !
Im am so glad we finally got around to talking about this! Thanks brother. Same to you
 
The lobo is insane! The yellow on it!
It's a stunner man and bigger than I thought. It's a 3x3 colony. I think ill mount it to the rock work in a couple days when O finally decide where it'll go.
 
Absolutely stunning, almost as stunning as the ones I got yesterday!
Thanks Kevin, but yours blow away everyone else. Would it be too much to see a pic of their progress today? :)
