[Groop]Gary v. The Ants (THEM! Part 2?)

[Azamin Zainol Abidin]

Gary, look carefully on those insects.  Is it just ants or termites...? If it is
just ants, then your Groo collections will be safe.  If there are termites, they
gonna eat your house down together with your Groo collection if you are not
calling for pest controller help.  Anyway, if there is ants, there might be no
termites.... you should thanks those ants for keeping termites away from your
Groo collection.....hehehehehe.
