We just play a version of ourselves in 1987!

Boy, this sure is inconvenient! The rise in bond yields, crude oil prices, and the trade deficit combined with the collapse of the dollar and investor overconfidence has lost me a significant amount of invested money and now I can't afford as many non-essential things! And who would have thought program trading and portfolio insurance would cause so many problems? Yikes. Better take this Genesis tape back to the store to get my money back. Too bad for some kids' college funds out there.
What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save a solid gold baby? Maybe we'll never know.

Oh no! It's 1987! That means I'm 3 years old again! Boy, I sure would like to play my Nintendo, but it seems I'm too busy playing with my Ninna Turtl'ss toys...!

Yep, I sure am wearing a light blue, button-down shirt with a white collar.
