MOVIE
Who doesn't love a good snake movie? Sure, we all do. Unfortunatly, we weren't offered one and were instead given this piece. Harry "Golden Fleece" Hamlin is a small everytown fire chief. Before he was there, there were these mutant snakes that got out and breeded and something. Well a big "evil" developer moves to the town and starts making houses for people. How evil is that? Anyway, the snakes aren't happy because if people have a place to live, well they won't be asleep on the street for them to eat. Well people start dying, so Hamlin stands around and looks at people for a while. In the end, they herd the snakes to a mine and blow it up real good.

EvilJen> Despite the movie's insistance this is a dramatic scene, I have to respectfully disagree.

Ironf> Plumm, would this be an enemy mine?

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEEEE SNAKEY

Introducing HGI's newest products for the snake-lover. All the skins used on the following products were collected from snakes that were herded into a mine, then delicatly exploded. Once this is over, we allow our trained lifeguards to enter the mine and pick up what good, quality pieces of skin they can find. We then take those and hang them up to dry and allow our very own Dr. Stitch to piece these together to make the following items that you can't find elsewhere.
For those men and women on the go, we offer these exciting products. Now you can own your very own snakeskin wallet or purse. We at HGI aren't judgmental, so we don't care which you buy.

Now for the inbred hillbilly in all of us, we offer this fine belt buckle. Made of the purest brass and silver that we could mine from the backwoods of Tennessee, this buckle will last you a life time and more. It can become a birthright that you can pass down from disfunctional son to disfunctional son. Please include your hat size, as this buckle is 13% larger than your head and will have to be custom made to each person.

Speaking of hats, make sure to pick one of these up for the next time you get ready to go hunting with your buddies. Snakeskin is a natural camoflauge and will be a bit hit with all your drunk friends.

What if you don't wear a hat, or don't care for our fine wallets and purses, and aren't a giant belt buckle wearing hillbilly? Well you too can still enjoy a fine snake product. We offer this snakehead keychain. NOTE: For those ladies that feel they need some protection, we offer a ointment that you can apple to the fangs of the snake that will cause death within 10 seconds once they puncture the skin.


Ironf holds back on yet another trouser snake comment.
