I have no idea what either of you are talking about. However, I do like the idea of being able to zip someones mouth shut. I've sat through many State Board of Ed meetings wishing for that ability.

I can't remember that episode, Nick. I loved the show so much that even though I might be playing with other or just playing with myself, I would stop long enough to watch Rainbow.

What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.
