I don't think Neal was TB. Remember he had the great poison ivy event awhile back. He would have gotten old Stan to the Dr and fixed him up with some salve for his condition.

It's pretty hard to get anything done around here! I have to keep popping to to see what's going on...I have spent more time on the computer checking this thread than I think I have anything ever!

Oh. My. Goodness.
What have you all been up to?
I stopped following this thread when Neal checked in.. I figured there wasn't much more to say on the subject.. I should have known better with you folks....

Seeing Neal's prize-winning costume reminded me that Santa Cruz is sort of the capitol of weird folks...
Our pink umbrella man.... he walks verrrrrrrry sloooooooowly

and of course, the Great Morgani.. He deserves a google just to see all his outrageous costumes.. His accordion also gets the same treatment.

Either of these would be great undercover Iris rustler get ups I think.. Hilarious!

well if we are seen, they'll probably worry it could be contagious and stay far FAR away
so we should have plenty of time to make a getaway...
