But some of my older friends were replaced with some new fancy young masks. So all of yall are made of flesh skin blood and other nasty stuff, but me I am made of the finest material oil sheep leather So my ”skin” neutralizes deadly gasses. Do any of yalls skin block deadly gas yea thats what I thought.
