IJMC - Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers...
Ok, so maybe they aren't the ones with the "blue light special" but
that's all right, Wal-Mart's open twenty-four hours a day. At one an
hour, you could complete this entire list in little over two days and
still get the bonus point! IJMC troopers, go to it! -dave
