udder 0 #1 December 21, 2006 Not new, but new to me... I will have a completed and hopefully fully packed and assembled rig by christmas. I already plan on wrapping it to open on chrissy day, having sex with it on that night. Then maybe having christmas photo's taken in it. Any other idea's?"In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother.
