Summary: Honestly, I don't know that I can say it any better than this... "When Blockhead was a young boy, he looked up to a large rapping bear named Hip Hop Harry. Harry taught him it was important to respect his parents, drink plenty of water, and occasionally "do the harry." Naturally, Hip Hop Harry was never one for bad words. Now older and wiser, and drawing influence from Harry's pet snake, Blockhead will rebel against Harry's oppressive kind heartedness and look his baseball glove like hands right in the fingers. Don't miss it. Open bar 10-11."
