these earmuffs are the latest in frinkian headgear and are sure to be all the rage. frinky will have these on the market while his competitors are still figuring out the pickle-matrix.season2 / season3 / season4 / season5 / season6 / season7 / season8 / season9 / season10comics / other d.m.y.                                                                                               192681 this web site, its operators, and any content contained on this site relating to "the simpsons" are not authorized by fox.
