I can dig it... I always liked smaller cars like the MG Midget, or
some of the Porches, cause they looked like they could turn curves
*inside* buildings.

Yeah, that's a legitimate use of curves, but too many times students
will do a little less if they know they will be graded on a curve.
One teacher I had tended to word it like this:
"I might curve. I might not. I might to decide to cause my dog farted.
I might decide not to because my cat didn't. You'll never know"

I remember as a kid hating those things, but not as badly as those
damned orange or black wrapped peanut butter things I would get at
Halloween...
They made good ammo, though...

My S.O., (Who's account I'm using) is a vegetarian. Her criteria is
"Nothing that had a face"   I love her Very Much... On the other hand
I have for the last 4 years or so referred to meat as "little dead
pigs/cows/sheep" 
Some farmer friends that I knew would would name the cattle even the
ones destined for their own table, and the Father, having a truely
morbid sense of humor, would label the packages with the cows name...
hence things like "Bossie sirloin" for a label...

Oh, what I am saying is that I like any era that I was born in...
I would hope you were the same...

Mother was employed in an open shop that acted closed. They had
deceived her as to the legality of that... Teamsters.
As to Nuns looking over your shoulder.... I laughed very long at
that...
