The next one is very personal, dated 2001: I have been, Ben :)

BPB Bay Park Buzzy Tiki Socialite West Bay Park, San Diego, CA Joined: Apr 07, 2006 Posts: 3066	BPB Bay Park Buzzy Posted posted on Fri, Jul 16, 2010 9:50 PM That f'n tiki trailer is f'n sweet! I got a '65 VW bus in "storage." Now I want you to make it into a rolling tiki bar car! You know anyone involved with a car show like pimp my ride or overhaulin'? They could get you and C'Al to do all the fancy tiki stuff on it. I don;t think you'd have a problem with the show deadlines. Probably finish a day early and mess up the "Are they going to get it done in time?' ending. That's always high drama... When it happens, tell them I only want one tv in it, with no video game console. A massage chair in the driver's seat would be pretty cool too. Someday I'll live in that van; I am sure of it. Buzzy Out!
