  Havent seen it in person but I love the concept. My wife actually wants me to pick one up when it comes out in HO for display in our house ( I model 74 to 76 )because we have a ton of pink ribbons.Her Aunt and Grandma died of it and my Grandma is a survivor of it so we support the research and awareness campaign.

  Also we had a Tough guys wear pink rodeo here recently. No one is going to laugh at a guy who gets on a 2000 pound mad animal and likes IT!! LoL

Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train

What color is the prostrate awareness car?  It is well known fact that more men die of prostrate cancer than women die of *** cancer.  Not trying to minimize berast cancer in any way.

Right on NDBPRR.

 

When I asked at a cancer fund raiser about prostrate cancer victim. They just looked at me with a dumbfounded look.

When they said "NO".

I walked away stating I do not donate to sexest originations.
