I take GREAT exception to that 1950 Ford parked by that sleazy joint!  My father drove a '50 Ford like that and would have NEVER frequented such an establishment!

The original "Blues Brothers" movie was on about a week ago.  Lady Firestorm and I were shocked when we realized it came out in 1980!  Holy smoke, we saw it the week it opened!
