You're too young to remember The Monkees, then? (Although, come to think of 
it, I never really *was* sure what a Homecoming Queen was. I think I always 
envisaged something like a May Queen, which I'm sure can't be right.)
I had a best friend at school who was obsessed, so they actually percolated 
my consciousness, unlike most other teen culture. 
I was too busy playing my clarinet, although simultaneously marching, let 
alone keeping any other clarinettists in line would have been too much, I 
think! Fortunately we're not called on to do that sort of thing much over 
here.
And, FWIW, at the time, my uniform was *green*. Totally green, from the felt 
hat to the knickers.

BTW, Eileen, what's Canadian Thanksgiving? 
I was a little disconcerted to find a display of photos of our school Harvest 
Festival labelled, 'Thanksgiving'!! It was done by a mum, so I don't think 
the staff have liked to correct it!

Apparently this hasn't made it to the US, or so I've been informed.
I used it as a Snape image once and I don't think anyone got it.

I must have typed in the wrong message number because I didn't get anything 
at all interesting. What was it, again?

Ah ha! Well, he CARPed himself as Hannibal Lecter and offered me Chianti!
Hoist by his own petard, methinks!

I'm just *dying* to TBAY him, though!
