Na thats where I slipped up, I got there when they first opened and was pretty busy, Didnt really speak a whole lot in fear of holding up ppl that was waiting be hind me in line. Kinda just kept moving along.

I would pick up 4 or 5 frags trip to the car to put them in a cooler....again.....& again....& again....& again lmao+


when speaking on the SLASH forum I announced I was from SDIRB, But then I got there and was like a big kid in a candy store!!

Totally understandable. I can't say that I would've acted any differently myself.
