oh my goodness, I hate my sheet tucked in. I feel trapped, and my feet can't be restricted especially when it's HOT, they need their freedom!

Today’s Question: Is there a 1980’s music video that’s stuck in your memory-if so, which one? Too many great videos to pick one in particular. Just off the top I'll say Genesis with "Land of Confusion". Extra Credit: Have you ever heard BBC radio (some NPR stations broadcast it during overnight hours) ? I used to listen to it regularly on short-wave; now I use live feed.
Bonus: Do you prefer to have your top sheet tucked in or pulled out (or does it not matter) ? It all depends on the temperature of the room...and if the blonde's in bed with me or not.
Just for Fun: Did you (or do you now) have a favorite comic strip ? Gary Larson's "The Far Side", he always cracked me up with his deviant humor.
Today in History: 1938-First appearance of “Dennis the Menace” comic strip
1949-Beginning of BBC broadcast radio <- ??? Methinks that date was actually Tuesday, November 14th 1922 with worldwide "Empire Service" beginning on Monday, December 19th 1932. Certainly dad was listening to it from the air base in southern England and later in Burma during the Second World War.

I just got back from seeing New Order in concert tonight. I had a terrific time! Great close to 2 hour performance. They played many of my favorites including the song in the video.

Except for reading them here and there I ever read them regularly. No interest.
Today’s Question:
Is there a 1980’s music video that’s stuck in your memory-if so, which one ? I seem to recall a tv show called 'Night Flight' that showed videos back in the 80's. I rarely watched it as I was not a fan of 80's music.
Extra Credit:
Have you ever heard BBC radio (some NPR stations broadcast it during overnight hours) ? I have heard of the BBC
Bonus:
Do you prefer to have your top sheet tucked in or pulled out (or does it not matter) ? Untucked please. Some hotels I stay at must have a machine that tucks the sheets and blankets so tight that it take a lot of effort to get them untucked.

Did you (or do you now) have a favorite comic strip ? I had several but the original authors have long since retired or passed on. The replacement authors just do not seem to get it right. Some of my long time favorites include... Beetle Bailey Andy Capp Wizard of Id Peanuts Mutts Archie
