Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I love Emergency, mostly because I had a crush and I remember no episodes.

Apparently I am msbelle AND sophia.

Cool.

Now tagless for your comfort.

lisah, it was a choking thing with the beer tab. A burly dude put his pulled tabs INSIDE THE CAN BEFORE he drank it because he was too lazy to throw it away. Then he swallowed it and choked. I think we used to do that with our pop cans with pull tabs but I was really young and we mostly had soda in glass bottles.

Why, yes, I too shared a love for Randolph Mantooth.

Punishingly Intricate

YES! And after watching that I always hassled my dad and uncles about doing the same thing.

I think Randolph Mantooth is my best friend's biggest crush of All Time.

I remember making chains (to be turned into belts and jewelry and all sorts of stuff) with the pull-tabs when I was little. When did they stop using them, anyway?

I'm going to go to the Whole Foods deli bar for lunch and get some Tuscan Chicken salad -- well, really just the salad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They often ended up as litter, while the attached ones stay with the can.

ION, I had steak, eggs, hashed browns, toast and juice for breakfast. Why am I hungry three hours later?

Must be some alien parasite living in my chest, huh?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The stay-tab (cool! learn something new every day!) was patented in 1975; pull-tabs had been around since the early 60s. Also, Wikipedia has EVERYTHING. [link]

When, not why. They're of the same generation as the vending machines at the summer family camp still having glass bottles. (And doors! You put your money in, the door unlocked, and you pulled a bottle from the slot and all the other slots then locked down!) That was late seventies/early 80s.

hip deep in pie

I also remember the toe in the faucet episode. And I had a crush on Johnny Gage and M best friend had a crush on Roy, so it was all good.
