    As Gary explored the shores of this recently discovered island he couldn't help but wonder what ancient civilization had carved these monuments and what was their purpose?

  61. MariV
    October 29th, 2008 at 12:12 pm

    And the walrus said to the penguin:
    "Here's my impression of 'Castaway'...
    Wilsoooooooon, I'm soooooooooorry!"

  62. MariV
    October 29th, 2008 at 12:16 pm

    And the penguin says to the walrus:
    "Yep. I see it. You have convinced me, Rosemary. You have the body of a ballerina..."
