1. where can that alligator be purchased
Comment by James December 5, 2007 @ 2:47 pm2. how much blood will I have to sell in order to purchase said alligator? I’m willing to part with up to %80 of my sanguinity.
My God, I wish I remembered where I found that. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t for sale, which puts it rightfully in the category of love and integrity.
