Updated: May 15, 2025

I know when I got it and I also know where I got it. I got about a gallon of the reddest, hottest coffee a bad boy ever spilled over himself. O-o-o-o-o-o! I can feel it yet! There were weeks after that when I was upholstered. They put applebutter on me and coal oil and white-of-an-egg and starch and anything else the neighbors could think of.
