Re: Hitler on Criss Angel

Mr. Stott, you are about to cross the line to never never land, so watch it. Unless someone has something intelligent to add to this thread, I'll be locking it later this evening. Well go ahead and lock it. The only intelligent remarks have been mine and one other member. You should be ashamed. Ray
