I expect we'll be punished between January and March again. I heard of a trick recently: fill a balloon with red food dye and pack snow around it to form the snowmans head and place it on the body. You can imagine the rest, I'm sure someone has done it on Youtube. For me then, it's build a snowman but probably just a normal one with a carrot nose.FWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117308901968785109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-60420030042963145332013-12-17T00:34:09.347-08:002013-12-17T00:34:09.347-08:00That's a proper burger!
