And Flutter-Nutter's creator? Sure didn't see that one coming.

I wonder if Papa Toutle has ever told Mikey and Paul, Jr. about Fluffer Nutter?
I really, really want a shirt with that silouette of Wilt on the lawnmower-that would make for one great parody of "West Coast Choppers" right there! There's a big company called "Dixie Choppers", based here in SC, I think(or maybe GA), that makes high-dollar lawnmowers(in spite of the name); wouldn't it be great if they could get Wilt as their spokesperson?
