I had some doubts at the beginning and make the pic more bright, but can't see anything like that there. ingo wrote Drinking beverages out of cans, was a symbol of capitalistic living for the COMECON-people But finally stable preferred his own, selfmade moonshine from the "glass", instead of some "western softocre". -- Last edit: 2010-11-02 23:32:15
