I hope you can find a new perch. A Paramount deserves it!

Pass the Proofide, pardner... Perhaps peel the poor platform for posterity, since it's past preservation. Pooh.

Proceed promptly to proper perch purveyor for pricey purchase. Protect those privates!

Promptly put together pleasantries are a parody of my post.

Pshaw! Preferably a paean to your promotion of percipience, plus your pleasing proficiency! I propose a pledge to your prose: Please pick up a potable in praise!

Was cruising down the PCH hit a minor depression and heard a crack and my kiester dropped about a 1/4" Pulled over the side of the road and that's what I found. I guess Unicanitor plastic doesn't last forever. I bought this old girl off Craigslist a couple months back and she had been well ridden then sat in a garage unloved for a long time.
