They look real nice. Especially the white one. An all white glass banger would be cool!

Do you have a mirror? That usually helps. I have some 12"x 12" mirror tiles. I can give you one next time I see you if you want one.

Yeah I have a bunch of mirrors. But, you've gotta be careful when using them with guys this size... I used to use one with my old MiDevil & bruised his face up pretty bad.

Right on. Definitely have to monitor them when using a mirror.

I bet you that would be hard to flush down the toilet.

Umm,  yeah... He's not fitting down a toilet.
