Just read this post, and you'll know what I refer to.
http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=184

For what it's worth, I have a "Butterfly" and a "Log Cabin." I've owned a couple "Hippos" but never seem to keep them very long. Never have owned a "Boomerang."

I have a "Log Cabin", and I know what a "Boomerang" is, but what's the "Hippo"?

Inquiring minds want to know... Icon_smile

(...or is it "enquiring"?) Icon_confused
