I remember actually watching it on TV "live" back in '81. I remember noting that he didn't say "worldy" as well. I remember thinking at the time: "I wonder if this invalidates the whole thing?"

And now I'm creeped out....


well, it isn't nearly as foreboding as if he had *added* the world "worldly. but it is weird. still, it was his wedding day. he was bound to have some crows feet.


"crows feet"? or cold feet? or cold crow's feet?

Actually, Camilla's the one with crows feet...

ooh - tell me about the air traffic controllers! what happened?


Ronnie, the only union leader ever elected to the presidency, broke up the PAATCO (air traffic controllers) union and summarily fired everybody because they had a no-strike clause in their contract.  Of course the fact that their primary grievance was about unsafe conditions was lost on Ol' Mr. Teflon, as was the further fact that the consequences of his firing everybody made the whole situation much worse.

I should add a couple of names to my name-drop trivia list: Fab 5 Freddy & (Grandmaster) Flash.
