Nostalgia

[Unka Bart]

Flaming???  There was FLAMING???

I have to doubt that, I've been around a long time, and I don't  
remember any FLAMING!

Then again, as I said, I've been around a LOOOOONNNNG time.  I'm old,  
I forget things.

Of course, I'm not as old as Bob Myers (shudder...)

yer kindly ol' Unka Bart
