OK, gonna let youse guyz know...
Let me check the kerning on the bookbag and get back to you.
They didn't invent bookbags until 1974.
I need ocular proof!
Did they even have books?
Drive-by, but I failed.
Their [sic] were no armbands until 2001.
Back to the garden. We're gonna burn stuff!

"Apartment complex uses dancers in windows to sell units"
Backpacks were just starting to come in back then. Armbands were plentiful.
Jerk.
Ummm. I actually remember both book bags and arm bands.
But the book bags were usually rucksacks and canvas. (does that still count?)
I threw a baseball cap across the room when the Red Sox lost a playoff game in 2003. True story.

It was actually a tin Barbie lunchpail.

Did Hillary hurl the book bag at a sniper or Vince Foster?
Until the 1980's, folks used the bladders of wild boars to carry their books.
Hugh threw his Ipod across the room when he heard of MLK's assassination.
We had satchels back then. Basically the same thing, just not a backpack style.
confession: i'm a liar also. i recently had a conversation in which i claimed to bring bagged lunches to school when i was a kid.
i actually carried a box.
with that, i am no longer qualified to be president.
She didn't have a series of footmen carry her books behind the sedan chair?
I carried lunch in a brown paper bag.

now you are a year off in the other direction.
So Hewitt didn't have a Nazi armband at 12? I'm shocked.
William F Buckley, on hearing of MLK's death, had an extra martini.
They weren't called armbands in 1968, man. They were called brassards, man.
We had satchels back then. Basically the same thing, just not a backpack style.

Yes, it was a satchel. I don't remember whether it had a shoulder strap or not. You'd think so, but I just don't remember.
Used to strap it on the withers of the dinosaur and hold on with both hands.
Yeah! The internets are fixed.
This is more of make shit up to feed the hate crap.

I even packed my kids lunches in brown paper bags. I love brown paper bags.
Hello 
i take a pack lunch with me to work
leibniz: Buckley probably made his martinis by pouring the gin in the presence of a bottle of vermouth. Sort of a homeopathic approach...
we had armbands but we wore them as chastity belts.
clearly, anyone who uses the word "bookbag" instead of "satchel" to describe what happened in 1968 is a lying sack of manure trying to hoodwink the american people. how could anyone fall for such tripe?
Chris Hitchens drinks his dinner out of a paper bag.

I think it's only fair to warn you that we must learn to adapt to the beneficial nonthreat of global warming through geoengineered planetary cooling, lest we fall prey to the alarmism fomented by Marxist atheists who want to destroy our way of life.

Gromit, I'm part of the first generation of Sox fans who don't have a clear memory of the '86 season, just of the years of aftermath. Now think of those poor 10-year old kids who've only seen the team win two World Series!
damn - Creationist preacher Ken Ham is used to the problems that arise from combining what he reads in the Old Testament and what scientists tell him. He has no difficulty squaring six days of creation and 6,000 years of Earth history with evidence from fossils and geological dating - for him, scientists who think the world is millions of years old are simply wrong.
Ham, a US-based Australian, has been on a tour of the UK, and listening to him explain this week that most of the fossils on the Earth were left during Noah's flood, and that dragon legends are ancient memories of dinosaurs, it would be easy to dismiss him as a crank.
Scientific evidence suggests the Earth is around 4.5bn years old, the universe is around 14bn years old and dinosaurs died out 65m years ago, long before anything resembling a human evolved.
But Ham's ideas and his organisation, Answers in Genesis (AIG), are influential, especially in the US. In May last year, the organisation built the Creation Museum in Kentucky. Within eight weeks of opening, the $27m (£14m) attraction had clocked up 100,000 visitors. The operation in the UK is smaller but still significant, with an annual turnover of around £500,000. One report suggested it dispatches between 30,000 and 50,000 books, DVDs and videos each year.

Back from Guadalupe, without having been stopped for being brown.
I do not care for 'law enforcement' making a trip to the store into an act of bravery, or having it function as the mailed fist of a terrorist junta. Guadalupe is, incidentally, primarily populated by Pascua Yaqui Indians - not illegal Hispanics. But the town has had the misfortune to have contracted with the Maricopa County Sheriff Department to provide its 'law enforcement' - which means that Sheriff Joke was able to get some media attention in his puerile illegal pursuit.

Walterneff makes all the broads jump.
Among historians, there is no doubt into which echelon he falls–his competitors are Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, and Franklin Pierce, the worst of the presidential worst. But does Bush actually come in dead last?
Yes. A Pew Research Center poll of 109 leading historians found that 61 percent of them rank Bush as “worst ever” among U.S. presidents.
History hates Bush.

On The trail 1999:
The Republican party's $790 billion tax-cut bill, the senator further warns, contains ugly surprises for ordinary voters (though he fails to mention that he voted for it, too). Huge tax breaks for corporations and other special interests become effective immediately, but taxbreaks for families are postponed until 2003. The bill was a meaningless partisan charade, he explains, since everyone knew Clinton would veto it. "I ridiculed the bill on the floor of the Senate the day I voted for it," he confides later with quirky satisfaction. McCain (The Bullshitter Talker)
