Alright folks, without using the benefit of a search engine: what was the song Helter Skelter really about?
dancing and romancing on playground equipment?

I thought it was about comparing a love to riding a roller coaster or slide, "helter skelter" being the English term for these types of rides.

Close enough! (Helter Skelter is/was a particular roller coaster.)

And second place is a toaster oven and 10 quatlooses.

But I'd rather just have the ride on Helter Skelter, if that is all right with you.

Very well. Coasters are great. May I ride along?

That clinches it for me. I'm getting my own Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon - and I shall spare no expense.

However, three years ago is not too long. So I will say, yes, I would still hit that. And so would you. 8)
No woman could dare hope for more than to have both UGA Lawdog and Captain Kickback in a threesome!

That's why Rebecca looks so sad......because it has not happened to her yet. :wink:
Aw, you fellers would never get to first base with a leetle gal like her!

I, on the other hand, with my quasi-sophisticated knowledge of l'histoire du cinéma, my puzzlingly insouciant demeanor, my ability to quote one or two of her lines from Runaway Train at the drop of a ten-gallon hat, and my ability to produce ennui-inducing, idiolectic, pseudo-twangy Texican soporific banter, would of course immediately sweep her off her feet. At least, that's what I imagine would happen. OK, OK, I guess it hasn't worked very well for me with any chicks so far, but I just know it'll work next time......
