Never blush, and remember "It Is Only Kinky The First Time".

Remember how on some 8 tracks a song would be split onto 2 tracks? It would fade out on 1 track and then fade in after changing to the next track. Those were the days.......

It took me a while to get used to the new version with Starbuck as a woman, but it has been pretty good thus far.
