  2. More like a scarf caper! (In the non-culinary sense, of course). For me, if I have to choose, it's a toss-up between the top two: I rather like the pissed co-ed.

  3. Apparently the canoe mishap was alcohol-related. Some things have not changed in 70 years.

  4. It could be a bottle of pop-- a bottle of 7-Up (which was launched in '29).

  7. Libra loves it when each option gets a vote. I adore the proportions of the hockey player cover. Not to mention their pepperminty penitentiary uniforms.
