Arnold- okay, I don’t see the 1978 dime in there. Sorry; you’ll have to point it out for me.

Though I must admit, I had _no_ idea Daisy Duke could do _that_ with her legs… revs up all those old adolescent fantasies…

My first car was a '78 Dodge Aspen.

14 years later I am driving a 79 Buick.  
There is something definitely WRONG with this…

Nice work, Cher3. Can you please dig up Yanni’s yearbook picture from the University of Minnesota? He was on the swim team. His last name is Hrsommalis or Chrysommalis, depending upon who’s translating it. He would have been there in the mid '80’s.

Thanx.
