I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.  But, that time might have been about 1:00 am after 5 hours of drinking.

Anyone else notice the camera date in the pictures is March 1, 2007 - nearly four years ago?  I wonder if it has sat outside since then.

Yeah I've seen this one before. That black paint or whatever looks particularly bad, if you ask me.
