Oh What a Year - 1977
I saw this at my favorite site, Skittles' Place and thought it was too cool. I absolutely LOVE hearing about things that happened the year I was born, the month I was born or the day I was born. The weird thing is...Skits and I had a few things in common the years we were born (2 different years). Both years, the Yankmes won the World Series, the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup and Elvis was present on both lists. Straaange.

since i can't fathom tearing myself away from my new computer--even if it is a friday night--i'm going to stay in tonight. i'll work on the 'ass-hat' post we talked about it, and i'll save it as a draft over at wtb so you girls can look at it.
God, I feel old, 1977 was the year I graduated high school.
