Maahette man must be conraulkated for his efforts even though he failed. I have sent him a six pack and a best wished card.
*Machette! and *congratulated AND *wishes.
Read man read!
Look, maybe he wanted to get back at Maradona for "World Cup 85." We don't even know what World Cup 85 was, so Machete Man may have a legitimate grievance.
I am guessing that the use of '85' was the site. Mr Machette seems focussed on vengeance. I am sure he knew the exact date and time of the incident.
I do enjoy the unicorn.
