Well, at least parts of my memory still work... at times anyway...

OK, I'll add yet another extra credit question based on Quick Draw. What was the name of the blood hound character that occasionally appeared and what was his favorite reward? Super extra credit for remembering what he did when he received it...

I was thinking, "make it tougher!"...

...then you came up with that bloodhound thing...I remember his ecstatic transports, but not what they were over. :twisted:

Tom, sometimes I WISH I wasn't old enough to know all the answers in your test! :mrgreen:
I'm with you, Joey. I have a new decade starting in a few weeks. Bob Dylan would doubly not trust me. Then again, there are so many things that I was around to experience, and I wouldn't want to give those up. I really enjoyed the 1960's and was old enough to appreciate most of what was happening back then. If science had a way to somehow return my body to its 23 year old condition, I'd do it in a flash, unless it meant I'd have to give up all of the memories and experiences of my true age. That would be a deal breaker for me. Can I get a "Whoa FOSSIL!" from anyone? Tom
