Actually, the Boyz were just being humanistic as they were worried sick after watching five small Argentinian lads get taken away to remote mountaintops by Giant Tsetse Flies.
Flies so terrifyingly large, well, I shudder to get into the details.
Anyway, the Boyz always thought the CIA’s intentions were misunderstood.

TRACKING WITH COOKIES
Okay, we all know that websites track your tendencies, hence, this is why your side screens show up with ads specified to your previous choices...
But when you end up with 'deals' for Calico Critters Caravan Camper, you gotta wonder what the hell was I intending to buy that this ended up here...
And I haven't played with my Calico Critters in at least 2 months!
SOME THINGS YOU CAN'T TELL 'EM
Buster: Take a message to Mary, but don't tell her where I am, take a message to Mary, but don't say I'm in a jam
Peaches: Dude, what should I tell her?
Buster: You can tell her I had to see the world, or tell her that my ship set sail, you can say she better not wait for me, but don't tell her I'm in jail
Peaches: What was that again? What not to tell her?
Buster: Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
(homage to Message to Mary by Everly Bros)

ON this date in 1850 - The Fugitive Slave Act was declared by the U.S. Congress.
The act allowed slave owners to claim slaves that had escaped into other states.
US Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple from DE voted against the act's passage w/ Bun giving his famous "You don't own me" speech.
Years later, Leslie Gore would paraphrase this speech w/ her 'You Don't Own Me' pop song...
"So don't tell me what to do, and don't tell me what to say..."
ON this date in 1895 - Daniel David Palmer gave the first chiropractic adjustment.
Pioneering along w/ fellow scientists Bun Man and Mr. Purple, Palmer was maniacal about finding a cure for his wife's headaches.
Seems her headaches were keeping her from being amorous in the late evening and (Bun's personal favorite) early morning, but Palmer's adjustment cured the headaches, and the bedroom suddenly heated up nightly.

ON this date in 1983 - Vanessa Williams, as Miss New York, became the first black woman to be crowned Miss America.
A short time later, she was deposed after pics surfaced, taken by renowned photogs Bun Man and Mr. Purple.
Actually, the Boyz were taking 'Selfies' but it just so happened they were in Vanessa's parlor at the time and she was in a state of partial clothement.
Imagine their surprise when the pics were developed, and they noticed more mountains and curves than in their faces...
