Bi-Partisan

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Yet again, another Sunday, another convenient opportunity. I just happen to be in the vicinity of DiBruno Bros., so I figured it would be worth a quick trip to check out the goods. I quickly noticed something unusual and thought it might just be the elusive Bi-Partisan from Lazy Lady ...
