I must be frickin' retarded! I can't know how to rate your videos. Please send detailed instructions and a safety helmet to my MySpace. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. *drool*
i was going to delete you as a "friend" (because i don't know who you are), until i saw that you like "Earth Wind And Fire", as that happens to be my favorite band... so you're cooler than cool, just for that.
You should put on the box "live wolf not included".
I WAS MISLED!!
And the whole thing was covered in lead, which I didn't mind as much cause I didn't have anything to hunt down. I DID take down the neighbors' husky dog thing. It barely put up a fight though. It just crawled onto a plate and woofed "eat me". C'mon dutch west. Spring for that extra wolf in the box.
