You had mentioned you want one. Do you know much about the history of this collection?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866201063880508517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8461845.post-40983871578513521942012-02-16T20:07:32.209-05:002012-02-16T20:07:32.209-05:00Last caption made me LOL for realsies.
