Is this a cross-marketing ploy? Or a "one of these things is not like the other"?

I'd have been more disappointed to see the Jonah Goldberg book.

Maybe it's the 21st thing your son needs to know. Eventually. Maybe. I don't know.

How poor Tony Orlando has fallen - doing "soft 70s hits" for Time-Life infomercials and posing as "Tommy" with his ghost-written sex-aide books.

This is what happens when you use a small statistical sample to model customer behaviour. One aberrant individual can totally throw your model out.

Sorry Uh...!
I was in a kooky mood that evening, apparently, and tried playing off the "Juice/Jews" post from before. Now I'm just weirded out by my own comment! LOL Oh well! :)

Looks like you and Tommy Orlando have a lot in common - you guys should hang out. If you're lucky, maybe Goldberg will show up to.
