    Good GRIEF! How has it come to this?
    I'm reminded of a line from a song, decades ago*:

    Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walking'...
    Do you want to lose your mind?

    *By Rooftop Singers...1963

    I'd lay money on it that not one of those guys was a Scotsman or British for that matter.

    'Beanies' are still a thing ? I heard 'Tickle Me Elmo' was in rehab-the fame thing.

    They've made a bit of a comeback, oddly enough, but I was trying to think of something stupid that drunken hooligans might fight over. Maybe they all wanted the same Danbury Mint collectors' plates? The family Hummel collection?

    I still like the idea of a full-on brawl over discontinued stuffed animals a lot better.
