Notice Emilio Is Awake For Food Must Be Why Him And Fearless Get Along So Well. Fearless, Sancho, Fast Elvis and Mrs Fast Elvis (Poor Lady havin To Live With Elvis) Undertaker and Flashing Fanny (Notice How He Is At The Head Of The Table) Seriously I want to note that the undertaker has been out of commission due to knee replacement gone bad but still was on the float and put in a long day (NOW THAT'S RIDIN FOR THE BRAND!!)
A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL THE DEGUELLO'S THE FLOAT WAS GREAT AND WITHOUT EVERYONE'S HELP IT WOULD HAVE NEVER CAME TOGETHER IN SUCH A SHORT TIME I AM PROUD TO BE PART OF A GROUP THAT IS SO LOYAL TO THE BRAND.
