It was on a sign with a ghost and an address. Next to a pizza place. I'm not sure if it was for a party or a garage sale. No idea.<BR/><BR/>I knew that when I saw the quad-quotes that I had something really special on my hands. I'm just thankful that there's a place like this where I can share it with the rest of the world. You're welcome, world.
