LOL I tied a Pepto-Bismol-pink McFlyfoam mouse and a young guy named Victor that worked for the booth that was selling the McFlyfoam got it.
I did tie a McFlyfoam platypus, and Jack Dennis took it and left it in Tasmania, at a lodge there. They wouldn't let him leave with it, so it had to stay. So add one more to the list. But it was a brown one, not a pink one. Would you LIKE a pink platypus, Kethie? Hot Pink maybe? or Passion Pink????
