Unfortunately, it broke off.
Here's some pictures of Scot working "the big one"...

All this discussion of the left wing fairytales, and nothing about
Harold Ford being actually convicted of selling out his state for
$50.000. Again, even the "moderate" dems don't seem to care when it is

Our resident narcissist generously shared these 23 posts of wisdom.  It
looks like he didn't have time to do much more than that other than a
