The Babe, on the left, is forty four feet by fifteen feet. The Pluckebaum is 55 feet by 18 feet and she's in for a new skirt. The Babe's wearing hers. Take a close look at the bottoms and note that the King could pass for a little sister to the big Pluckebaum.

Randy the good looking guy on the left, is six feet two and my son Brian, on the right, is six one. Randy's single if any of the girls in Portage Des Sioux are interested. Brian's single too, but has a girlfriend.
