Now I’m not so naive to think you’ll sit through ALL my links at once (especially if your ears can’t decipher Russo but who needs dialogue in ToonLand?) but if you have a nice rocket-like banana spliff or a 12-gallon bottle of sweet Eastern-egg liqueur and if you drop the curtains and you undress and you let yourself, just fly, baby, fly… anything can happen to your sexy brain over HERE.
