Sheesh, allus late for these gigs...! Congrats, Chief- for waking up another day on the top side of the dirt.
And those ain't strap-on wings, looks like an auxiliary parachute to me.
Not that Carbo would *need* such a thing... ahem.

Uhhhhhh, 'leven. But it was a slow day.

Thanks, kids -- all in all, it was a pretty good day to be here, for a couple of reasons that I'll save for a post.

Ummmmmm, Sage? I know why Carbo's sucking on an unfiltered Camel, but what's up with the strap-on wings? They *regenerate* -- honest!]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/08/a_genesis_durin.html#comment-92597 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/08/a_genesis_durin.html#comment-92597 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:49:46 -0600
