12 December 2011: It's....... 1986!

[Here'sToYa!]

Apropos of nothing to do with this set, just wanted to commend HTY on his choice of signature lines.  Had to do a double take to make sure I was reading it right, but there it is. Watch where you point that Gun, buddy.

(It's a line from an old Uncle Tupelo song called Gun, if you're not familiar with them or the song. Jeff Tweedy, who wrote this song, went on to become an indie rock messiah in Wilco, which rose from the ashes of UT.)
