6. Alter BOYS, yes? A correlation perhaps?

   Comment by Tkz — 6 January 2009 @ 8:12 pm

7. The best bit about this report is the organic understanding of hierarchy. The MC’s get big mugs, the junior boys get small mugs. Just as God ordained!

   Which size mug will YOU get in Heaven?

   Catechism through mugs. Love it.
