I wish I was in Tiajuana eating barbequed iguana. If I go there will be trouble. This is not my beautiful wife! If I stay it will be double. ---

Heh heh, when I went down to a smallish town in Texas to train tech classes at a new center the company I was working at opened up five years back, the students asked me what I was going to do to for fun the month I was there. One of them suggested going to the Rio, and I was like, “What, the river?” And they were like, “No, the nightclub.” And then I asked if they played Duran Duran, and nobody got it. I then had to sing part of the song. Nobody got it then either, but they suggested avoiding places with karaoke. I did finally end up going to the Rio a few weeks later, though. Still have my membership card around here somewhere. /mundane pointless cafe society stuff I must share Oh, and to the OP: Sorry, no idea. Wish I could help, but give it some time and maybe someone will think of it. ---

Has anyone linked to this [80s lyrics quiz](http://www.yetanotherdot.com/asp/80s.html) yet? Methinks the people in this thread might do pretty well. When I took it a couple weeks ago, I got a score of 85, but there are a couple I would contest due to spelling and whatnot. Bonus: If you get #83 right, it gives you a special Straight Dope shout-out! ---

Hush Hush! Keep it down now! At our house, there’s quite a crowd. There’s always something happening, and it’s usually quite loud. ---
