Are they a law firm you need to hire to sue that annoying neighbor or are they something totally different.

  • Bashy has a penchant for dressing differently for the holidays.
  • Mango and Killer have been known to sleep in other people's beds.
  • And Candi is just as sweet as she can be.

Still don't know!
Here's a hint - I bet they know the menu at Taco Bell by heart!
