I think that instead of terrorists hating Americans and Americans hating terrorists and other countries hating other countries, everyone should just instead agree that Tina Yothers is kind of annoying and that Family Ties really wasn't a very good show.

I'll see your head a pike, you bastard.
Posted by: Greg Knauss on June 21, 2004 03:03 PMI'll have you know that I model most of my life after a certain young male teenage role model on that show...that's right, Skippy.
Posted by: Opie on June 21, 2004 10:26 PMI always found Skippy to be a poor second to the greatest minor character in family-oriented 1980's situation comedy: the inimitable Boner from Growing Pains. Which is kinda funny, because depending on how you're sitting and what pants you're wearing, you can often develop pains from a growing boner. You're a doctor, Opie, please tell me this is normal.
