Is this the famous "I stood in line at Station 9" outfit from the late 70's ?

Busted.

Cheryl Young, I went to high school with her. I remember someone once threw a dead carp out in the parking lot, next day 87% percent of the male student population and 50% of the male teachers and the female gym teacher got out of their cars, sniffed the air and said "Cheryl ?"

That's cold.
