all the trouble!) and ensure they are sent out to all seperately in the
next week. You will all get your complete set.

I have been thinking about unusual hooks and was wondering what you all
have come across. For example, the hooks that come with attached posts,
weird bends, weird japanese stuff,etc.
Pictures or links would be nice. Did you find them useful or a sham?
