The fact is, we were kind of goofy during the 80's. Our women had big hair and wore leg warmer to school.

If you haven’t noticed, Nashville is getting quite a bit of press lately.

I don't understand the fascination that women have with shoes. For me they are things to put on my feet so my knarly, hairy toes don't offend those around me.
