I see you like yours fur-lined. It is more fun when the men are in real cuffs.

Remember Don Kirshner's Rock Concert? I saw The Eagles on there one night before they got big. They had a guy playing the fiddle in their band - I think he is the one that left because their music was too "rock and roll-ish" or something along those lines. Bad move.
