The Pinnacle[s] of Western Civilization

Presenting: Wake n’ Bacon! That’s right, no more annoying sounds to drag you out of bed in the morning, only the wonderful wafting scent of bacon. Then there’s HillBilly’s Homewrecker. Deep-fried 1lb. hot dog slathered in, well, everything. Yowsa.

Yo Vivo En “VAN” CERCA DE UN RIO!

Hola, ninos! Well, it’s official, there’s no more need for me to exploit y’alls collective knowledge. I scooted over to Scott Honda last night and found myself a 2005 Odyssey EX-L with leather, DVD system, power side doors, moon roof,…
