I was wondering how the white trash was getting in! I mean i have seen REAL honest to god camaflouge baseball cap wearing hicks. And the smell! I thought it was maybe Magic Your Way or local deals. Now i know its the airlines.

And remember....WD said to all who come here.. what was it "this is your place"
