It was also the day that 44 year old Norman Feller headed into his underground bunker over fears of the fallout from the Y2K virus.

I wonder what his FR Screen name was. Jethro Tull, perhaps?

It cant be real.
LMAO!
Step aside, grasshopper!! We don’t care bout no steeenkin truth!

We came across an old hermit who claimed to live in this old cabin for the past 30 years or so.
Maybe it just felt that way.
I’m practically snow bound......we just got in from sledding....and I think my brains were scrambled on the last toboggan run!
Anything will amuse me while I defrost. :)
Have you seen the brilliant SNL sketch?
