In a real faraway Archie comic, Moose is given a last chance to earn a passing grade, if he gets one letter right in spelling one word.
He is given "coffee", which he proceeds to spell KAWPHY.
Sadly, Knight, you too missed every one.

I don't know who it was that died in 1978 but I do know it's not Jim Morrison. His was part of the 12 months that ended the 1960s musically that, along with his death, saw Jimi and Janis die and the Beatles break up.

of Clintonville. Geordi & hoop know a lot about the political deceased, lucky for us.

22..Yes, there actually is a PILLOW FIGHT DAY.

23..VAUC gets credit for an assist to Rocket's Keith Moon. (OK, OK, VAUC did all the heavy lifting.)
