I should think he would be…

Oh, and here’s the [runner-up](http://www.hotshirts.com/aloha/product_information.asp?number=TR106&variation=XL) .

I used to think that was the coolest show in the world. Now, I think Lord’s character is a wanker.

But it still has one of the coolest themes **EVER** on a TV show.

Others: The High Chapparal, 12 O’Clock High, Miami Vice and The Rockford Files.

I just had a long, cool root beer and vanilla rum.

No umbrella, though - that would be sissy.

Well, if you’re a good little boy and ask Santa, **Lucretia** and I may just get stationed around the corner and down the block from y’all. We’re trying for a Florida assignment.
