Oddly enough, didn't really get into the movie. But I still like doing the crane stand, if only to practice my balance.

Nope. But then, i was kinda young.

Still kinda young.

But didn't pay much attention to him.
---You actually saw Ted Danson as the MacDaddy he played "Sam" to be.

---You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny.
Yeah, like my parents would let me stay up that late..

Yes, I did. I had the shirt/underwear set. I'd lie in my dark bedroom lifting the shirt and putting it back down because it would crackle with static electricity, and I could *see* the blue sparks.
