You know I never watch that because I sadly assumed it was just TJ Hooker goes to law school. Have to see if I can find it now. And when they killed Kate on Blacklist it really ruined the mood and changed the show a lot

Is absolutely not TJ Hooker goes to law school. Is hilarious TV.

I was there. Yeah, it was called the '80s. Ford was President, Nixon was in the White House and FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bummin' in a hole-in-a-wall town in what is now called Utah. Some fella from Colorado shows up, starts making so called "improvements", right? Before we knew what hit us, the streets are running with latte. It got so bad that a fella that liked to, you know... smoke a little grass or drink a little ripple. Crow like a rooster, maybe challenge the mayor's son to a gentlemen's duel, was "uncouth, against gobble." More like bad real estate values. Stumpy had to go!

Sounds like BS. In the Navy, promoted to Sargent. Those 2 things don't go together.

Per Wikipedia :
Several decades after the war, on account of the fact that Donald was never officially separated from service in either his animated shorts or his comic strips, as part of Donald's 50th Birthday celebrations during the 25th Annual Torrance, California Armed Forces Day Parade, the U.S. Army retired Donald Duck from active duty as a "Buck Sergeant" (i.e. "Buck Sergeant Duck").

The Geologic Evolution of Utah
1960s Utah. Don’t remember much except we passed thru on our way from Colorado to Disneyland. Saw the Mormon Tabernacle and visited the zoo where a monkey showered my younger brother with well you know what monkeys do. Lost a suitcase of the roof of our station wagon and my dad was impressed that his bourbon bottle survived
1970s Utah. Returned with a 4wd and instructions from my boss to find most of the 1950’s uranium claims around what had just become Canyonlands. Walked over elephant hill with my brother in August spent two 120 degree days in the Colorado River to recover. Soaked ourselves and walked out at night. Best restaurant by far in Moab at the time was McDonalds. Flew Hang gliders off Dead Horse point and Point of the Mountain (never thought about how pointy Utah was) along with epic flights off Francis Peak and Mount Willard on the Wasatch Crest. Strangely enough we were pretty widely shunned in the Salt Lake Provo area. But awesome flying was there to be done! Had an awesome 65 Chevy 3/4T that I lived out of. No girl friend for some reason :)
1980s Utah: visited friends who had moved from Colorado to Moab and opened a bike shop. We were the start of the scourge that Prime spoke of. Drove my 83 Toy 4wd PU with mountain bikes all over camping and riding. Could camp right at slick rock then.
1990s Utah: Returned with my 83 Toy. Moab now a scene with brewpubs and margaritas joints everywhere. Went south and did a couple of epic 5 day hikes thru slot canyons. Went 4 wheeling and camping on the west side of the Colorado River to leave the crowds including a crazy trip out to the “Doll House”.
2000s Utah: Returned with my wife and two small kids as complete tourists to Moab. The assimilation was complete and resistance futile!

Let's be clear. Out Cold is a terrible movie. But holy shiat if it isn't fun as ufck and a greatly rewatchable movie.

This is one of my favorite terrible movies. Watch it every couple weeks in the winter. And the atmosphere at the hill I spend most of my winter at is very similar to the movie.
