Quite frankly, I think those who spout those bad words are people who don't have imaginations...or they're letting themselves get boxed in. <br /><br />Amanda Sue DunhamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582274004296638852.post-92108920678324410252011-05-25T12:46:21.342-06:002011-05-25T12:46:21.342-06:00Brent, how bout a group of MP3 players coming to l...Brent, how bout a group of MP3 players coming to life and being scared that they'll become obsolete (dead) soon?
