It'd be nice too if people quoted in the standard manner. :-)

<Choke> I had already given up AD&D as too munchkin in 1981...
<Slap self for starting "I feel old thread">
How about Mission Impossible? thats current. Eon Flux on MTV? She's sort of

Renting the video of "Sneakers" might be very worthwhile.
