I'll help you out. Kiss was their most popular when I was at the age of most Kiss fans. However, being the cool cucumber I was, I listened to Jethro Tull, The Grateful Dead and Van Morrison, in lieu of such noise.

Did I submit or did I just allow you think that you had control? ;-)

I like the O'Jays, and I watched Soooooooooul Train every week. The "dancers" on American Bandstand reeked bad.

And the girlies looked much better in those terricloth shorts.

It started in 1969, actually. This is a modern box (I can't get a good link for the old one in a large size):
And seeing a box, yes I did eat the Pink Panther cereal as a kid:

It figures. I come back to the thread and it starts slowing down. This is not at all beneficial to my very fragile ego. ;-)

No, I've seen some "long" threads get revived from the dead for special occasions. One hit the "last" post (max thread length). Yep, there are some stories on this here FR website.

I'd be willing to post to myself to keep it going. I can be quite entertaining at times so I don't think I'll get bored. ;-)

I was thinking about that Carter/Clinton compare and contrast article... it's a great one! It was published, I think, in 1992. I remember reading it in National Review. I don't know if your post showed the author or not, but it is P.J. O'Rourke. It got me started on reading a lot of his stuff...

If you start denying the theory of evolution, you will break 2000 posts on this thread in no time.

We had just moved to San Francisco a couple of months before the Jim Jones thing. Funny, but both my husband and I felt a sense of impending doom a couple of days before the event. It was extremely weird . Many OK people in SanFran had relatives who'd flipped out and joined Jones so the city went into mourning. Leo Ryan had been my congressman ... because he went out to Guyana to check out the Jim Jones' stuff, and got murdered on the runway, this country has been suffering from his replacement, Tom Lantos. :(

I don't remember "The Midnight Special." I do remember "The Midnight Train," the movie (I think it was). Do you mean "Midnight Express" -- the movie about the Turkish prison, Brad Davis?

Hay!!! He married me!!!!! He has stellar taste.
