it is with a heavy heart that i report the untimely passing of our dear friend and aadt know-it-all snow man. snow was killed in a testing mishap while reviewing a new product used to decorate the interiors of dodge trucks. we had asked mr. man to write a review of this product http//tinyurl.com/26tdx7 . given snows expertise with related video game products such as etch-a-sketch and magna doodle we felt he was the natural choice to review aqua dots. mr. mans professionalism and attention to detail were to be his undoing when it came to this product. during the ever important taste test portion of his trials he was poisoned by what turned out to be a very dangerous new truck decorating tool. aadts roy commented i am really going to miss him. he always had such good information to share. one can tell that tl is saddened also as he said who will i call when i need truck repair advice the wabbit commented aadt hasnt been hit this hard since budd choose to leave the group. funeral arrangments are being handled by the acme ice company. lol! you are a sick sob. gbmfg roy beekeep .
