It's Burt for me, but that's probably I grew up so far for the big cities that we didn't get Knight Rider until it was a few years into re-runs, and that was simply because cable finally made it to our little town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1135981068398086072005-12-30T17:17:00.000-05:002005-12-30T17:17:00.000-05:0037 is old?Dayum, when did that happen?*looking und...37 is old?<BR/><BR/>Dayum, when did <I>that</I> happen?<BR/><BR/>*looking under the couch for my lost youth*<BR/><BR/>paxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1135895596609144902005-12-29T17:33:00.000-05:002005-12-29T17:33:00.000-05:00It's not the first time the revamped and political...It's not the first time the revamped and politically correct Kim stuck his foot in his mouth, nor will it be the last.<BR/><BR/>My dad's 75th birthday is next February. We were going to have a surprise party for him, but both him and Mom are already booked then for another adventure, this time I think they're spending several weeks in Russia. <BR/><BR/>I just retired for the first time, at age 40. I've already climbed Fuji, Rainier, and Shasta. I will indeed climb Kilimanjaro in the future, if for no other reason than to piss off Kim duToit. I'd wager it would really send him into fits were he to discover a bunch of us folks 37 and older go to the Continent to drop big things like Cape Buffalo...Gewehr98https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440119702457734221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1135891170197824402005-12-29T16:19:00.000-05:002005-12-29T16:19:00.000-05:00I'm not climbing any damned mountains as long as B...I'm not climbing any damned mountains as long as Bell is making helicopters.Pawpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959820068377494313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1135834888571883992005-12-29T00:41:00.000-05:002005-12-29T00:41:00.000-05:00I don't remember where I saw it, but someone point...I don't remember where I saw it, but someone pointed out a similar generational demarcation line.<BR/><BR/>When you think of "Uncle Jesse" do you think of--<BR/><BR/>a) Dukes of Hazzard<BR/>b) Full HouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1135827576492976482005-12-28T22:39:00.000-05:002005-12-28T22:39:00.000-05:0027.
