OK…so you’re young. I get it.
And you didn’t kill Jimmy Hoffa.
But Wheel of Fortune? It hasn’t been around for 100 years? Seriously?!??

Gosh, thanks! I feel plenty old now!

I turned 12 that year. My parents never went to the movies, so they’d drop my brother and me off at the door. I remember seeing Jaws that year (our movie theater never paid attention to ratings and ages…and neither did our parents for that matter).
I laughed through the whole thing because it was so fake.

Tug - I swear I didn’t kill him - I was born in March, he didn’t disappear until the end of July - so It wasn’t me - I’m pretty good with a gun and all - but not at 4 months!
Mr. Fab - anytime pal, anytime.
Blogarita - I hate the movie jaws..I know it’s fake and everything - but I still don’t like it.
aka_meritt - Drew is a little more than a month older than I, and I can only wish I looked as good as Angelina.
Joeinvegas - I am going to take that as a compliment!
Superwoman - you are too young!
