SUPPOSE YOU HAVE SEEN ALL OF THE VARIATIONS THAT NOW ARE AVAILABLE ON SHIRTS
AND BUTTONS?  LIKE "FARFRUMPUKKEN" & "FUNKENSHROOMIN" ? I SAW ONE TONITE AT
OUR LOCAL NOVELTY STORE IN THE MALL THAT SHOWED A LIL STICK FIGURE WITH TWO

GOOD WORK, FELLER. I MAY EVEN GET BRAVE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY POST SOMETHING ON
