"Oh yes" I chimed in realizing that she did not know what sardines were. It was only after she finished her meal that we enlightened her and she was less then thrilled with the experience.Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734745794704864534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226983.post-21230798603071075812011-04-02T11:47:10.535+02:002011-04-02T11:47:10.535+02:00Who the heck is Daniel?

We need stuff!<br /><br />El problemo? We need some effing help, mister!<br /><br />What the eff is the deal? We're standing on straight-up SOL!<br /><br />You want to know what the malfunction is here? We need some backup.
