> [@tdn](#): > > …so once we’ve exhausted the list, someone should suggest another topic. Food. Dogs. Space travel. Relatives. Whatever you can think of.

Badstreet, Atlanta, GA Baddest street in the whole USA Badstreet nasty and hot The further down the block you went the badder it got. \* Terry Gordy is dead now, sadly. Buddy Roberts is having some health issues I think. Jimmy Garvin is an airline pilot. Michael Hayes is still working in the bidness for WWE, I think. They won’t be needing their old house, so I’m buying it. Last one on the right. Bad Street, Baby. Anytime. ---
