    Possessed by Al Bundy

    I don't know if I already mentioned that our Chow girl, Miss Smilla, is a medium. What can be a disadavantage, at times, as it may happen that you get possessed by the wrong persons. Yesterday, for instance, the poor girl had to temporarily share her body with Al Bundy - and that's what...

    Thanks, Paul. We are talking about the second one, aren't we? The big wings of the blue one are late 1950s, aren't they?
