All right, this has gone on long enough.

I cannot stand the pressure any longer.

It was *I* who made the Miraphone sousaphones, in the cupboard with the golf club.

@the elephant You must be playing a slightly different version of Clue than we have here in California, but I like it!

According to Genesis, Mirafone sousaphones were made on the 8th day.

I admit to being surprised, but I guess it makes sense. I had always thought it was these guys, since Fudge Stripes Minis are perfect replacements for their valve buttons (I’ll bet you ate them so quickly you never noticed that the hole in the middle is threaded).
