You’re a kid in the early 80’s and you are ready to settle down in your plaid sofa with a bowl of Count Chocula in your favorite Dukes of Hazard bowl. But wouldn’t you know it…Dad’s beat you to the TV is already into Barney Miller. You could never pry him away from anything with Abe Vigoda.

    Thank god. I thought I was the only one that used to set up a TV and an NES to play while I was in the crapper. This pretty much validates my entire life.

    Nice ‘hawk.
