I love one of the top comments for this video “I love the guitarr player. He looks like an accountant who came into the office one day, said “fuck this” and moved to Hawaii to join a band.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/4ReSV3CCRzg/maxresdefault.jpg "Barbie Girl - Vintage Beach Boys - Style Aqua Cover ft. Morgan James") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ReSV3CCRzg) That’s Ariana Savalas on the left, daughter of Telly. I love this one, but it always felt a little odd seeing three girls that weigh a combined 200# singing it.

When I read his posts, I think “It’s nice that we have a poster in his 90s. Sure, he’s befuddled, but I’ll give an old timer some leeway.” Except I’m pretty sure he’s about 55 years old. ---

The latest thread from Jimbee: Somebody or other was or was not a living saint, or something. It ends, as usual, with: > Thank you in advance for your kindly and civil replies 🙂 .
