[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 2374463, member: 63"] [i]October 29, 2005 1:06 pm[/i] "What the hell do you jack-asses want?" Ded Bob asks. Scarpedin hides behind the rest of the group, nervous around the animated skeleton puppet. Ded Bob, walking freely without the aid of a puppeteer, looks down at them from the stage he normally performs on.
