    Everything there was kool. The dancing clown thing was like Annabel in a clown suite.
    The tornado thing was very clever and the poor dinos with the asteroid. The funeral guys with the head on the table, that's one way to drum up busness.
    KOOL UFO fun house !

    Crisco has such an otherworldly, ambiguous voice. Neither male or female, child or adult, Crisco is Crisco. Maybe Crisco's one of those It monsters.

    Welcome to my home town. Not once what it used to be but I'm glad good ole ucm is still standing. Oh after so many years they still have the dog pound tornado. I remember that day. I miss Abita. Also to answer the question about the space pod its a old rescue raft for oil rigs in the gulf. It sat on the side if hwy 59 for years wondered where it went and I guess they bought it.
