Damn Avs, you old!

Honestly, the only good thing to come out if the 80's was my girlfriends ass.

I guess the rest of her too.

But mostly her ass.

Well, if it wasn't for the 80's her ass wouldn't be here in the first place. :P So I guess the 80's weren't all that bad...

Well, that and Iron Maiden.
