"Dats only in the mornaing. You suhposta be up, cooking breakfast by then, so- that's like an alarm clock! WooWOOOOOOO!"
Wonder what Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis are up to in 2026.
still putting whistle tips on for the people
Bub Rubb!

i mean, if we're printing whistles why ain't we printing death whistles
They take forever to print and use a lot of filament.
They're printing liberty ships, not cruise ships.
