Stand Up Posted at 4:49 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Best thing to do is to take it to a store so they can repair it. xxiloveyouohh Posted at 4:49 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 its probably just old and doesnt have much life left init. Jman19 Posted at 4:48 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 The gorilla was too ugly to have its picture taken, obviously. All 5 previous replies displayed.
