LJWJohn, what good does a cold steel barrel do? How big is the barrel? 55 gallons? 30 gallons? 1 gallon? Is a cold steel barrel similar to carving someone's heart out with a spoon?

Don't worry, the guy had purchased plenty of drug tax stamps earlier that day so he'll be just fine.

SNIFFING....To bad the dog didnt get into some of that white stuff or I believe it would have felt a whole lot better about itself. I think these dogs have alot more fun than what everybody knows about.
