BOS TUBES!!!

"and, a baby's arm holding an apple."


...a personally autographed photograph of Randolph Mantooth.


and a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams!

more Frink points: what did the Mazda and the Monza have in common (besides similar-sounding names)?


Not sure about the Mazda, but I seem to recall that the Monza required the engine to be removed to change the spark plugs.

And I'll give 20 frink points to whoever gets this one: who was Mort Moriarty?

Hey Mike, are you dizzy yet, from the three kickass 70's sets we've been listening to today?  I am almost posted out.

I dunno about Mike, but I'm pretty ecstatic, and I didn't tune in 'til Baby Driver.

BOS4 The Mighty Zep.

ETA: and a proxy BOS for Our Man in Oklahome, The Mighty Rod.

DING DING DING!!! We have a winner! Give the man his Frink points.

Mazda switched to "regular" engines shortly thereafter; Chevy took the Monza off the market around the same time.

Maybe the best of this set overall, but at least BOS #4 given the quality of Dave's choices so far.

well, I'm assuming he had something to do with cars, 'cause he's mentioned in a litany of cars whose names begin with "M".
