Posted by PartyPooper 3/11/2009 5:23 AM | remove   How appropriate. Posted by rimare furtim 3/24/2009 10:35 PM | remove   That is extremely eerie. I have to say, I never imaginged hanging chambers to resemble the old recreation halls in church basements where cheap community events would be held by instructors who really didn't want to be there. I suppose that comparison is kind of ironic.. Posted by pizzaboy 2/4/2010 8:48 AM | remove   Reminds me of the little drawing you make to play Hangman.
