I was minding my own business when I heard a lawnmower rev up. I peeked outside and right on the tail end of thinking "Oh, it's Mr. Al across the street mowing his front lawn" came Jon Bon Jovi's voice screaming "It's 99, 99 in the shaaaade!"

Only he's wrong because it's 100. And what the hell song was that?

Must be some repressed junior high memory floating up to kick me. Was that when Young Guns came out? 8th grade? I distinctly remember some kind of cafeteria conversation trying to decide which of them was the cutest. Or maybe I am getting it confused with the sequel. Did Jon Bon Jovi cameo in the first or the second? I didn't like either so no surprise that I can't really say for sure.

Crap. Now I am going to have "oohhhhhh we're have way there...oohhhhh living on a prayer...... take my hand.... and we'll make it, I swear... ooooohhhh living on a prayer....."

It's the heat, I'm tellin' ya!
