Lavender with ruffles?????? OMG- that's the family member you disown, right there and then. mug and age not withstanding.
Geeze - the Professor is RIGHT!! That's a bad combo.
I like ZZ Top, too.
You saw Van Halen live? Ugh, so lucky. I wish I could have seen Van Halen back before Hagar.
What was your FIRST reactio nto seeing all those FIRSTS capitalized?
:)
I'm amazed that you can remember some of this stuff. I'd be very hard-pressed to do so.
beth— Not sure if your lament is connected to my "luck," but I never saw Van Halen with DLR, either. I didn't see my first concert until I was almost 24...in 1988...4 years after they dumped him.
tiff— Well, at FIRST I thought the FIRST thing I would do was uncapitalize them. Then, as I attacked the FIRST FIRST, I thought to myself Is this really the FIRST thing I ought to be doing? Shouldn't I FIRST read them all and figure out what all my FIRST FIRSTS were? And then I thought, Damn! I'm FIRSTY! and I said to myself, I'm bit to FIRST, and then I started giggling at myself, and I forgot.
