Posted on December 8, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Mural my blowhole

Recent discovery. Jottings of a leaver who chose Allen Park instead of Rotto. (And Allen Park would be better than Dunsborough, which was a toilet BEFORE the toolies arrived). Person X. Decided to forget Rotto and Dunsborough and party at … Continue reading →
