Thank you for your work! I hate to be a grammer Nazi, but it's "toe" the line, not "tow" the line. A reference to lining up for a footrace... It's shocking how many intelligent people do this....

Not to be confused with "Draggin' the Line," a great tune by Tommy James & the Shondells.

Nothing compares to Hanky Panky.

I once had an actual Valley Girlfriend.

She thought CA was the be all and end all of everything and very oddly imagined herself my socio economic better

Her parents were school teachers!

Her house was a 1500 Sq Ft ranch with a pool.

But it was music that she was most elitist about, imagining CA the center of the universe.

At the time, Grand Funk, from Flint, Michigan was officially the biggest band in the world and Shea

Stadium on the news.

Tommy James from Niles, MI, Bob Seeger from Detroit, Ted Nugent from Redford (exurban Detroit) Jr Walker from Battle Creek, Del Shannon from Battle Creek /Coopers ville and I guess she never heard of Motown.

In short, Valley Girls live up to their reputation as airheads.

I've pretty much resigned myself to your, and you're, (and maybe yore?), and to, too and two. I actually find mangled cliches rather amusing though. ЁЯШБ
