I was God's own drunk and a fearless man
And that's when I first saw the bear
He was a Kodiak lookin' fella `bout 19 feet tall

this is fun....

The five o'clock Friday blows
My baby meets me at the five and dime

TWENTYs

Stories We Could Tell

And who would've figured twenty years later
He Went To Paris
And twenty more years slipped away
Please Take Your Drunken Fifteen Year-old Girlfriend Home

Does Milwaukee really qualify as "somewhere"?

Great job.

It's easy when you have a "back door" weblink to COBO

Easy... but still a lot of work.
Liz, I hope you can find what you need. Those other numbers
between 13 and 20 may be impossible...
