who can come up with something like that. ok I have to go flip around the
house this ship is so cool.. brb.

If I had this ship I'd eat it because it would leave such a pleasent after
taste its so fine. If I was flying this ship I'd be shot down so quick
because I'd be opening and closing it all the time.
