Everything is different, but the same... things are more moderner than before... bigger, and yet smaller... it's computers... San Dimas High School football rules.

At least the Vikings and Lions never win anything, so no matter what you'll have lots of other fans to look down upon.

Well, I'd explain computers and cellphones and the internet, and that would cover many of the changes to the American lifestyle.

You will think that Lovie Smith is a great coach and Rex Grossman is the future of the team. YOU WILL BE WRONG!
