My friend Stephani and I went out the other night, and on the way home, she put Billy Joel's Greatest Hits in the CD player, cranked it up, and we sang every word to "We Didn't Start the Fire" by memory (probably thanks to those song lyric magazines, many pages of which ended up as part of my senior year scrapbook!). Wouldn't it be 'Outrageous!" if he did a Part 2 to that song, picking up in the 80s where he left off with the cola wars up to today's current events?
:/\ I'm gonna fit right in round here.

Hard to believe now isn't it:-X
You go rollerskating every Friday night (not to skate, but to 'hang out')
Between the ages of 12 and 14 it was every Friday night, Saturday night and if I could sponge anymore money out of my parents Sunday afternoon...tragic ::) ;D
We have some friends that own a roller rink. www.VincennesRollerDome.com
I designed & maintain their site & we get in free. We take our 7 yr old twins & 17 year old often. They are not as popular as they were in the 80's.
