It’s your old friend, Mack. I’m puffing away on my beloved hookah, Mona Lisa Vito, in the freezing cold garage, and in just a few short hours, you’ll take off from the North Pole like a bat out of hell. There’s a few things I forgot to ask for at the mall last week, and I thought I’d post them on the internet in case your sleigh has a wireless router ... read more |
