Ade Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Poindexter. Great pick for the job in my opinion. Your secrets are safe with him. Who else is working on the project Gordon Liddy perhaps? I have to go now I'm off to the local jail to find a babysitter for my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
