   I bought a trailer down by the river for $99.99 and some cigarettes.  It was   
   just appraised at 39.99 and a six pack.  Sometimes living large doesnt pay!   
      
   Oh and about beanie babies.......just a few words:  I wish I had all my   
   money back that   
   I used to buy them with.
