184. you know this theme song........

Love and marriage,
Love and marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage.
This, I tell you, brother,
You can't have one without the other.
Love and marriage,
Love and marriage,
It's an institute you can't disparage.
Ask the local gentry,
And they will say it's elementary.
Try, try,
Try to seperate them.
It's an illusion.
Try, try,
Try and you will only come to this conclusion.
Love and marriage,
Love and marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage.
This was told by mother.
You can't have one,
You can't have none,
You can't have one without the other.

183 - You remember Jeff Goldblum and Ben Vereen as TV dectectives

I thought Tenspeed and Brown Shoe was from the 70's, but I looked it up and it was from 1980.

Do people count the 80s from 1981-1990 or from 1980-1989? I've seen it both ways. Personally I prefer the latter. That makes the first century only have 99 years, but they didn't put in a year zero, so it's not our problem.


I have changed my nickname to "Cakemeister". Please do not PM the Buddabing account because I do not check it anymore.

Please read the wiki!

To be honest, I didn't even think about what year the show aired.

I have absolutely no recollection of Tenspeed and Brown Shoe (then again, it was the 80's and I was a teenager...). I'm not sure it played up here in Canada. Do any other Canadian remember this show? The first I saw Goldbloom was in "The Fly". Great movie BTW. My favourite saying was "Brundel Fly". We use that term at work sometimes... :D

188.  You know that Mon Chi Chi means Happiness!

189.  Your computer was hooked up to your TV....because it had to be.

190.  You understand why "Do You Know the Muffin Man" is scary.

Oh man, I totally forgot about those things! My little sister had one that she was really attached to. Being the cruel big brother that I was, I used to kidnap it at every opportunity. At one point i tied it to a rope and tossed it out the back of the ski boat. "Look he's skiing!"
