I think SC\_1’s is _pi_ (or [symbol]pi[/symbol], although that font doesn’t work for me.) HPL2 sounds like it could be one of _The Godfather_ series. PJ 1 : An entire fish is blended and then drunk. PJ 2 : One of the old man’s servants goes out to the lake for a walk. PJ 3 : A man pours a whole can of beer down the drain. ---

Correct, Rilchiam. FC3:4 young men Bar-B-Q and play baseball in the snowless cold of a winter day in Chicago . Hint: This movie was big with Teeny boppers around the age of 12. ---
