Doc Windshadow Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 They ought present one as a prize for the texas SASS state match or which ever regional match includes Texas.... and of course the cap pistols should be replaced with a brace of .32 pocket pistols... The Armadillo in Rango was named RoadKill in the credits.... Sort of appropriate to have a stuffed one as a prize at a match LoL Ans to the folks in Oz casting aspersions on the Texas State RoadKill don't they have those giant hopping mice like things down under for their own roadkill?
