    If they are going to be still seniors next year, will they become juniors before September 2014 arrives?

    Ha ha! I love Luann’s “rib” at her creator, there…and a shout out to all of us… if there’s one thing I like more than irony, it’s a good inside joke… or a 4th wall acknowledgement… or actually, even a plate of French fries…

    How old should Frank be now? if it is 2013 then he is between about 69-74. If it is 1987 which would mean the occasional technological devices are probably Karen’s anacronisms then he should be around 47-50. I am guessing that this is Evans way to say he really goofed-up with the time lines. Or it’s still 1987 and Delta is dressed right and jamming to Young MC and Bobby Brown.

    I’ll be honest, I was just looking at that… but I’d like to think of Lu and Frank serving more as bookends, and that Luann’s being on the end was more of her getting to go first, ahead of everyone else….

    Really good show, huh? Sometimes, part of winning a crowd isn’t always in the technical moves or appearance, but in how they interact with an audience… so if he ever gets to make it this way to Rams Head, Merriweather Post, or somewhere near the Philly suburbs, maybe I’ll have to grab some tix… – There’s a song of his, “Constantinople”, that sounds a bit different from what most people have heard from him.. a bit more ’rock" sounding, I guess

    And to warm us up with the next song on our playlist here is a quote from one of our posters:“Been there, done that – when my sister was alive, she owned a salon and at times I ended up being a subject of her ‘experiments’…. Corn rows, sunglitzing, etc. and now, I miss that…”Folks, this is David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars beating out XIV and Cheech & Chong with our number 3 song for the countdown- Lady Stardust.Just kidding- have fun keeping up the posting gang. : )

    Back in the 1960s-70s, Kellogg’s put out a cereal called “Product 19”. Can’t find it anymore.^Yeah, that’s the cereal I was referring to, which is why I phrased it: “and 1/2,” in order to appease the suits…. – As a child, I genuinely agreed that it was an… “adult” cereal, not because of any lack of “fun shapes and colors”, but because of the “lack of taste”!…. -And it was also bland in naming, interestingly, because of the fact that Kellogg’s couldn’t find a suitable name, so they went with the fact that it was their 19th breakfast product…. -I saw it in a store here, around the Mid Atlantic, not too too long ago…however, according to their website, it’s still in production…. apparently, something’s going on, since many haven’t found it as plentiful as it has been, in the 60s-80s… if you ask me, it’s probably because demand is low (I suspect the taste), and stores don’t order as much of it….

    Okay,I rarely comment anyway, and this is totally off topic, but those file cabinets of Miss Phelps are really bugging me. (I just got back from vacation) Yes, the joke is that she is WAY out of date, but this time it’s not her fault!! Schools provide technical support , training and equipment to teachers.This is mandatory. She’s not supposed to purchase her own computer, pay for classes, and then transfer all of her files to the system all while doing her actual job!

    the one I always got a kick out of was a two – panel cartoon of a young lady who got a tat of a Harley on her chest – I guess a person could visualize where the wheels were. The second panel showed her at about age 70. Man, those were some long, tall wheels…

    I really enjoyed a Zits strip where Mom and Dad were getting ready for bed and talking about tattoos, I think, and Dad was bending over and Mom, looking at his backside, said, “Yeah, that peace sign is more like a stop sign now.”
