Popular Post Superdad Posted January 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2020 Time to up the game gents: These are for steam punks in need of end tables. This one will be your best friend until its last “woof.” I suppose this one could be mobilized to assist in hostage negotiations. This one just sounds like shit. These will take you to their leader. This system is for those who need to broadcast their music while hiking or skiing. Also good for terrorizing the neighbor’s dog. This system might put some of you “in the mood.” StreamFidelity, christopher3393, semente and 9 others 1 11 UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment
