Videos

Poor College Student comes through with what he assures me is not a porn video. The Vs. TV crew talking about enormous loads. And people wonder why Vs. isn't taken seriously.

Video No. 2 is from the great RFJCC. As a fan of the original, I enjoy this version as well.

The videos I had planned for today will just have to wait for another day. gametimelinks(at)gmail.com
