i thought i was just grinning.” hillary asks him his name and he says “walter.” hillary tells walter his name and walter says “oh no shit! like royalty!” hillary doesn’t deny it. he just he just gets on his bike and blasts down the hill and back to his casa.</p> <p>lates,</p> <p>dth  </p>http://www.clogla.com/post/59975007http://www.clogla.com/post/59975007Sun, 16 Nov 2008 11:43:00 -0500<img src="http://data.tumblr.com/iB57jBC4qgchu8bgYwvHllSeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>yerps. ol’ hrocker gots himself a new bikey wikey. it’s a flippin’ 80-sumthin’ kuwahara carrera ul. see he sold bernard the peug and flipped it to get this sucker so he basically got it for free. it’s basically in perfect condition and it’s gonna get the farts ridden out of it. purse!</p> <p>dth</p>http://www.clogla.com/post/59881015http://www.clogla.com/post/59881015Sat, 15 Nov 2008 19:27:55 -0500<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="225" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2086021&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2086021&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2086021&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><br/><br/>http://www.clogla.com/post/57974228http://www.clogla.com/post/57974228Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:45:35 -0500<img src="http://data.tumblr.com/X9pHRGq7uftk0unpUbOqD9Oco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://mroedipustrex.tumblr.com/post/57602193/i-was-browsing-around-on-the-internet-at-work">mroedipustrex</a>:</p> <blockquote>I was browsing around on the internet at work today and ran across this non-profit organization.
