Hurry Up and Get Chonged Before it’s too Late.
Well Robert Redford ought to take a look at this picture. Think he might not over look Cheech Marin now that he has the body of a Milagro Beanfield Warrior. Cheech will have to have the last laugh on this one.

There is something about hearing it from the mouth [...]

I’m so sorry, sorry as a man can be
I’m so guilty, this is my apology
You [...]
