One debunk. In 1987 the Muskrats had a senior class of nine very large boys, all of them cousins. The uniforms were incidental. I looked it up. I am also buying a pumpkin.

Cher, a band that marches in its granddaddy's uniform is a band that remembers who it is. Buy the pumpkin anyway.

I have spent my one debunk in this thread already, so I will only observe that the new uniforms have not been purchased. If there was a curse, it was broken in the old uniforms. I am prepared to accept the win as a win. I was also there. I was also loud.

Doc. The pumpkin patch opened Saturday the 10th and the first weekend's money was in the bank by Wednesday. The cure works on deposit. I relay.
