Bardot by a mile . Loren looks like my auntie , lol . But I reckon Linda Ronstadt could put up a proper fight in her heyday.

It’s true and I imagine most countries it’s pretty similar. I guess we should count our blessings that we aren’t experiencing civil war, invasion, an unstable government (kinda), or a dictatorship. Gotta be optimistic.

At one time, I would have considered that possibility. Then a good friend of mine (also a non-smoker) died of lung cancer at the age of 39.
Kaufman also worked the nightclub scene in the 70s, so he was exposed to massive amounts of secondhand smoke.

Reply to College rugby was cool in 1974 by jeruizlassiter
So many mustaches.
Also I'm surprised to see Americans playing rugby. Was it more common in some specific cultural or social demographic?
