great post. I was going to go spelunking on a neighbors property, but he was afraid of a law suit. I am responsible for my actions and NOONE else. Where did this common idea go? 1986 btw.

That actually sounds more like 2000. It needs a few amendments to be relevant for 2007...
1. Your microwave actually HAS an password. It doesn't matter if you forget the password because you can retrieve it through the internet panel on your fridge.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that
they didn't put you on the "Top Friends" section of their MySpace profile.

Wow.... the absolute best thing about the 80's was metal and the endless supply of kegger parties every weekend during the summer... Hopping from one kegger party with a band playing to another, or band studio parties. There was never a dull weekend back then. :zombie:
I was born in '86; if I was hopping from one kegger to the next at that age...I would be a bit dissatisfied with my life
