Fill in the blank: "I wish Democratic Underground had existed when_____."
Regardless of whether YOU were around then or not!

A few that came to my mind:

*The original "Psycho" came out.

*Elvis appeared on the Ed Sullivan show.

*The break-in occurred at the DNC's Watergate office building HQ.

8. Indeed... Like me, you weren't a member on 9/11, but if you

13. It was done correctly I suppose.
Since no one has been successful in doing so since.

Plus, it took care of that pesky Viking issue.
