Green Mamba
Hello Fellow Trols,
I joined the forum a few weeks ago in search for a remedy to our up-coming midlife crisis and persistent COVID19 depression. By a stroke of luck, we found a big green pill (aka Green Mamba) which I collected from Graham last Friday. We took her for a first spin on the weekend (see pics) and hope to start a more comprehensive treatment course in the Liuwa Plains as soon as budget and corona permits.

Re: Green Mamba
Yap, that's the one. Unfortunately, i'm too dumb to post a picture. I've tried several ways but nothing seems to work. The pic i have are about 5Mb in size. Is there a restriction on file sizes on the forum?
