You maybe right (about the shows comming to america and all...)

There is a list out there that gives some definitions for my
generation..(I know this is OT...but I can't resist.)

One of the best being....


If you ever rang a doorbell and said 'Landshark!"

or...


If the words 'All Skate..Reverse!"...mean something to you.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
