This is really dating me, but when I was in high school, I skied on 205s. It's so strange looking at my teeny little 180s now.

Karen: "He looks a LOT younger there!"
Nice (angulation) Bill ... you should show some respect and gratitude to your former sponsor by driving a Suby.

Yeah, being around all you AXers has aged me a lot!
Suby wagons were the BEST cars in the snow! Those, and my '61 Kafer, that is.

I think the hair is pent-up frustration from having to keep it short at Get 'Em Young University.

Not going to the library?

Exactly! Of course, in my case, the personal hell I'll be going through for the rest of my life is being stuck with
you hosers. :barf: :unimpressed: :mrt:
My only solace is that, in turn, you all are stuck with me!
