They still do them, but the methodology is different now. They still do the random super sized crap, too, so somebody could be getting a drum of lube someday.

....nah. I'll settle for calling you a goddamned idiot and leave it at that.

You appear to have backed a diarrhetic bull into my io9, son. Goddamn, that's a big pile there.

...I had no idea idea that Disney produced fucking machines.

Or as Otter Zell ince said, "If you're determined to have a completely natural existence, have lots and lots of babies...something will eat them."
