Non - Pantera content

Which reminds me of a time years ago on the Ninian North platform in 
the North Sea. Was waiting on the rig before doing my thing, so went 
down to watch a movie. A real classic was on in the video room... 
Barbarella with Jane Fonda!

After the movie, these two guys in front of me were heading out the 
door and one commented to the other, 'Hey, did you see they named 
that one guy Duran Duran after the rock group!'

I could hardly keep from laughing... Jeeezzz... These guys were 
probably still in diapers when Barbarella was made!

Sigh...

FWIW,

Kirby
