Pat...Randy,<br />That's exactly the reaction I had.<br /><br />Patti,<br />There's plenty of stuff I don't like, I just don't write about it here. But I admit, I do sometimes see virtues where few exist.<br /><br />Todd,<br />Fixed the typo in the header.

THE KILLER SHREWS had those silly masks on, too...but the pooches were game, you have to give them that!Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-8831627104593156842011-10-25T06:58:35.902-05:002011-10-25T06:58:35.902-05:00I admire your ability to enjoy almost everything. ...I admire your ability to enjoy almost everything.

They were right for their time and those of us old enough still can enjoy those cheap thrills(while laughing under our breath).Randy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627907086811387527noreply@blogger.com
