Someone did drive his truck to the sleeper though.

"Up to 70% better" trip: (1) Dawning of a new era: the Motor-vator; (2) Grops with a quality slot 'eye; (3) MC representing; (4) Kraus with a chunky sauger; (5) beefy walleye; (6) mixed bag flanked by a couple tank eelpout.

(1) Flaaaaaaaaaaaag!; (2) handlining; (3) Normie wasn't too eager to lip this angry 'pout by hand; (4) Grops didn't shy away from a pose [what a couple of beasts!]; (5) MC was happy to conduct a comparative anatomy lecture; (6) dinner somehow seemed simpler then . . . 

Another one of the best of all time.
