Well, let me state for the record that I do not wish to insinuate that Roger, a/k/a Shambles, in any way resembles in his foibles or his personal qualities the character Aqualung in the Jethro Tull song. I have no reason to think that of Roger, and I don't think it of him.

"Bagpuss" is one I was really puzzled by, until I found out that it was a character on some British show for children.

6 - The famous Shambles burger joint was about 6 miles north of Gasoline Alley on the northbound side of Hiway 11. Its predominant color was orange. It was ugly as sin, in that sort of glossy, cheap 50's burger and soda pop stand style that goes well with that hard shiny stuff that counters and kitchen tables were made of back then...the kind that had the aluminum edging on them with the little grooves that the dirt would get stuck in? What was that countertop stuff called? It was butt ugly, and it was everywhere. Kind of like aluminum siding, only worse.

Man, we oughta do a thread on that kind of stuff back then. Was it "art deco" or what the hell was it?
