    I remember of the time, a time before cable. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man then the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls.

    using jumpers as goal posts and no matter the score, the next goal wins.

    I remember the time I could toddle under the kitchen table without it touching my head.

    I also remember the time I suddenly couldn't.

    Ouch.:(

    I'm pretty sure I saw one the other day where somebody, for some reason, needed to know the colour of my toothbrush.

    I didn't open it so maybe I missed an important angle.

    Unlikely, though, based on bitter experience.

    I knew if I had the chance, that I could make those people dance. Then maybe they'd be happy - for a while.

    Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars?
    I don't know if you knew that.
    Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
    Henri Winterman Cigars.
    Though she never told me her name,
    I still love you, Girl From Mars.

    Ten penny bags - now they're euro bags!

    But February made me shiver
    With every paper I'd deliver
    Bad news on the doorstep
    I couldn't take one more step
    I can't remember if I cried
    When I read about his widowed bride
    But something touched me deep inside
    The day the music died

    ALL TOGETHER NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW......

    I remember a time when racism was just friendly banter. Now all of a sudden it's disgusting and offensive.
