Very well sourced too.<BR/><BR/>Will email you from home tonight, but just so you know, I received BLOODSTORM the day before yesterday. Brought it to work with me and will crack it open now while I have my coffee. It looks bloody great too. Nice job by Brandon.<BR/><BR/>gbGerard Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301381067485712366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160907056447793603.post-48995557228652755942008-03-21T10:21:00.000+00:002008-03-21T10:21:00.000+00:00Just to clear up all the controversy concerning th...Just to clear up all the controversy concerning the Hulk’s balls. I have it from no greater authority than Stan Lee that they are actually green. The gamma rays having penetrated that most delicate of areas. (Anyone would think I have an unhealthy fixation on the privates of Dr Bruce Banner).<BR/><BR/>For a further quotes of above mentioned Green Giant and his package, check out my best-selling memoir, On The Brinks, page, 62, or Bloodstorm page 77.

No, I don’t mean it in that sense of the word, you filthy-minded gits!).<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Sam Millar</STRONG>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160907056447793603.post-16606851338219629802008-03-20T23:47:00.000+00:002008-03-20T23:47:00.000+00:00MickSmackdown!
