HEY! I resemble that remark! :mad:

When I was 6 I had a very stylish and modern Sears polyester Tuffskins plaid reversable suit. And I looked damn good!

Fie on you for missing the fashion of the day. I was a sexy wee bastard back in the day! And you want to take this memory of my 6[sup]th[/sup] year on Earth from me?!? :dubious: I just knew you never liked me! [sub]grumblegrumblegrumble[/sub]

I don’t know what’s wrong with these kids today! Kids! Who can understand anything they say? Kids! They a disobedient, disrespectful oafs! Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers! While we’re on the subject: Kids! You can talk and talk till your face is blue! Kids! But they still just do what they want to do! Why can’t they be like we were, perfect in every way? What’s the matter with kids today?

Bye, bye.
