| Purveyor of Fine Avatars  |
A student at the school I’d worked at in San Francisco was wearing his tie around his head and I said he looked like Rambo. He asked me who that was. I got into an argument with another one who said Pocahontas copied Avatar.

You are the first person I have known that remembers Winky Dink my favorite Saturday morning show. My sister & I would fight over who got to draw the bridge for Winky Dink to cross the creek. __________________________________________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit!

I bought a Remington Nylon 66 at JC Penny's. They were stacked up in the entrance area so picked one up & walked over to the counter, paid the $50.00 & carried it out to my car. __________________________________________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit!

My buddy when I was going to the one room school had the only TV in the neighborhood. It was quite a treat to go to his house (which conveniently, was right next to the school) and watch those shows. Good memories! Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||
