That would be so cool. We could have like a club house and all wear the same jackets and stuff.

Yes but only the grand puba can wear the horns up, everyone else will have them down.

We need a secret handshake also.

Too bad you already ordered the radiator.

I'm in Laredo now and this guy named Viktor says if you go up the street behind the Pilot and knock on the taco vendor's door (after lunchtime, of course) and tell him you're there for a radiator...he'll call him and he'll be in the parking lot behind the taco stand with a radiator AND install it.

$200.

Oh, and Vict..ooppss....Fred (for security puposes) says bring heavy duty gloves 'cause you have to help hold it in place and it MAY be kinda hot..

Hey, the color works for me. And it would be easy to spot other union members by the hat. :P
