You're getting worse than Al when he had that "Weekly World News" subscription. I was never so glad to see a tabloid go out of business than I was the demise of the WWN. He spent an entire summer back in the 80's going on about talking bears and trying to sell people something called the "Amazing Bigfoot Diet."

I ain't buyin' nothin' Putin is pushin'. Bigfoot's included or not!

The boys added music, along with that snazzy chorus and the rest is history. Another super smash hit from the Lennon and McCartney of the 80's.

If the youth of today would only follow Mojo's sterling example of polite self-expression and Skid's style in dress and facial hair, this country would be a much better place to live in.

Post by: Fansome on August 21, 2017, 0424 UTC: Just remember: an eclipse happens when the sun moves between the earth and the moon. The reflected radiation from the moon is out of phase with the sun, and cancels out most of the sun's radiation. However, not all is canceled, hence the danger of eye injury from the remnant that gets through. Hence, don't look!

When I see anything on fake news outlets such as cnn, msnbc, cbs, I always verify the story via sputnik. If sputnik says it's legit it's legit, droog moy.
