I gurantee they'd be in real short supply in little to no time at all.<BR/><BR/>MI could even export them frozen to the japanese; since we have a sistercity agreement.<BR/><BR/>nice to meet you, and I'll be back.<BR/>bought an ad to support you as a fellow michigan blogger.<BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/><BR/>~REAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
