i am sure that song was pretty typical. Our’s probably was too, but maybe not at caucasian weddings. We were 28 and 30, so our choice was MATURE ; )

Besides the surname similarity, he does have a “turtle-y” face. ;)

Never remember him covering up in scraps, though...

Yeah. I don’t always agree with him, but Mencken sure knew how to turn a phrase.

“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”

Actually, “Can’t Help Falling In Love With You” by The King.

If Mama Cass had given that sandwich to Karen Carpenter, they’d both be alive today.

Remakes are usually awful so I’m not surprised. Exceptions: Without You by Harry Nilsson, Bang a Gong by Power Station, Natural Woman by Aretha, Twist and Shout by The Beatles, to name a few.

How did he ever get there? A+ for you! It's our last home game of the regular season tonight against the obnoxious Stars who think they have a right to scream in the national anthem. We despise people disrupting the anthem.
