[westgrandboulevard]

There won't be enough popcorn in the world to satisfy the demand.......

[144man]

The food at Greasy Grady's attracts monsters from all over the galaxy. It won't be a horror classic; it will be a documentary.

[westgrandboulevard]

It's the 'Monster Mash' at Greasy's which attracts them......

[moe]

You sure we won't need "corn mash. wheat mash, or rye mash" westgrand?

[westgrandboulevard]

All that, and moonshine mash, too - direct from 'Ms. Moe's Masheteria'.

Special appearance by Ms. Moe [[Superstar) herself in the reception area, with samples, personally signed.

So popular, it will be 'falling down room' only......

[moe]

......And we are there to see it!!!!!!

You know the party is really going with a swing when someone stands on your hand.....
