WHITE TRASH SKANK ALERT!!! Would she just go away already! And I wonder how long it took her (after he died, of course) to come up with the "you're 10 feet tall to me" line. Poor Gary, if this is the best he thought he could do in life...

As a designing lady, could you think of a nice way to cover those swollen pink gums? A curtain rod for a nose/septum piercing w/some nice white curtains?
