Is she wearing one of those bearskin hats like the guards at Buckingham Palace?

[henry_reardon]

yeah really, she’d be better off competing in RuPaul’s drag race.

[ArrogantBustard]

You gotta put Mercury on your list ...

[rawhide]

You’re bad tonight!!! Lol!

[Paperdoll]

It sort of takes away the reason for the contest, doesn’t it? Now virtue, innocence and talent are no longer prized! Just pulchritude, failure and unmarried sex replace more Gopdly behavior? According to ABC, other network shows, let alone unscrupulouis cable shows have taken the place of character, self discipline and honest accomplishment! I will soon be cancelling cable, do not plan to replace the old tv set when it gives out.

:) In ‘69 I had a light blue Mercury Cougar with sequential head lights.

“Now virtue, innocence and talent are no longer prized!”

So women strutting around in tiny bikinis, high heels, and way too much makeup while being judged by men is about demonstrating their ‘innocence’ and ‘virtue’?

[Paperdoll]

Well, you certainly nave a point there. But other things used to be required in the beauty contests besides and including looks. I remember when one p9ece bathing suits were the norm. We are quickly approaching the bottom of the trash heap today.

Cool. How'd those work?

[Paperdoll]

Sorry. I meant tail lights. :)

[FW190]

Does the Fonz know that his sister lives in England?

[the scotsman]

British teeth are not as bad as the stereotype makes out.

Too many sweet tooths, but the idea that every Brit has a mouthful of rotting teeth is nonsense. As credible as Jews with big noses or blacks with thick lips.

[kaylar]

I always thought it was more crooked (and *maybe* yellowed) teeth rather than rotting that's the stereotype.

[whd23]

As did I.

[kaylar]

I thought about the BBOBS while typing my reply! Thanks for the visual ! :-D

[Boiler Plate]

They were still pretty cool. Did they use a special turn signal relay?

[Paperdoll]

You know perfecyly well that the sequential in the tail lights was for the turn signals. Happy now?

[Boiler Plate]

Yes I know, I wasn't trying to continue dig at you. I was curious as to how they made the sequential tail light work. Typically there is a single relay for the all the turn signals and flashers. Was the front turn signal on it's own relay? How was the rear turn signal done, with a separate special flasher relay or a multiple series of relays.

[Paperdoll]

I haven’t a clue how they worked. I just thought they were wonderful. Drove the ‘69 until I ought another one in ‘73. A very cool car! :)

[Boiler Plate]

Yeah they were really neat. It set it apart from everything else on the road.
