Not only do they have a U boat, they have a frickin' coal mine. And you can see baby chicks being born (my kids loved that), climb on a locomotive, pretend to drive a combine, etc. etc. I like that place better than the Field or the Shedd - not that those two aren't fun in their own way.

I tell you one thing, despite being generally awkward and unlikeable, I hafta admit I'd prolly do that Kara.

Actually, he puts the onion rings on his cock.

Hey thanks Mrs. RFS. I was afraid I had imagined the whole thing in my doddering old age. Just goes to show a few brain cells managed to dodge the bullets I've thrown their way over the years.

No Mechagodzilla in this list either? What the hell's wrong with you AVC? I give your robot lists a F.
