Subject: Re: Scubapro Super Tek dual bladder wings for sale
So it was "Monkee Jungle" , as in "It's a jungle out there". Christina,
you are supposed to preface these efforts with the phrase "for a
friend", as in "I am selling these Force Fins for a friend", "I am
selling these bondage wings for a friend, I am selling these high
pressure steel tanks for a friend, and am throwing in a computer, a
transformerpack, a neopreme dry suit, and a square light.

Come on, make our day - tell us who got you before you made your way
though the annelida and found GUE and DIR.
