    Thats funny.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    You better bid!! You are part of the reason I forgot to pick them up! The other reasons were Fatman, Cliff, Dan and way too much beer every night! Not to mention FooDude calling me at gawd awful AM to pick him up and drive him to the show.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    If you look closely, you'll see greasy fingerprints on the boxes. That's the Marty equivalent of a dog marking its territory.

    I actually had the auction bookmarked and was planning to. Since this thread was posted, though, it's probably going to be out of range before the auction closes.

    Maybe they have rubber chicken grease on them!!! image

    Yes they are the same sets I picked out, but I received an E-Mail from WH to keep my trap shut as to what is in them!

    You knew someone was going to post it sooner or later.

    Might as well poke fun at Marty now since we all know he is Mr. AU58. image
