  1. wishlist2: this thread makes one hunger for cool images: folks, J33?
  2. found these in my 'wish list' file...

  10. adding on to Surf's Brundage Conan above, because it makes sense to have a couple of Conans to properly say: Happy Birthday Two-Gun: We Love You !!!
  11. mine - not quite sure what's going on in the glass + a Black Lizard that's clear enough
