They Were RIGHT!
Uploaded: November 12, 2009
There really IS a NikonMonster! And she really DOES go around tossing walnuts to squirrels! And, and... and LOOK! I have one of those walnuts!
Hmmm.
They were right about something else, too. She never puts that Nikon thingy down. I mean, NEVER. It's like it's glued to her face or something.
But HEY! She gives away free walnuts! And, she's got JOKES!!
(they never mentioned that part)
