bombers work great and usually catch right in the wash anyway. something to think about. just test them both to see.


I am tetering on whether to do howdys or hawg hunter pencils.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
