5. And now for something completely
obscure (thought it would be a Monty Python reference, eh?)

Dredging deep from the bowels of obscurity:

What was the new "cuss word" as reported by the "Weekend Update" ripoff from the "SNL" ripoff "Fridays" circa 1979/1980/1981?

15. actually compared to most men he did... the inaugural stuff is a common
mistake made, but he was the definative stylemaker for middle american men. before him only a few trendy hollywood types would go hatless. but he was in the vanguard and respectable. . remember at this point, women were still wearing gloves and hats. But he was supposed to be a classy guy, and people figured if he wore a suit w/ not hat, so could they.
