And each of the following decades assuming one has heard of the Austin Powers movies as well as TV's West Wing and now Californication.

Not that I'm a fan, but he's been pretty active and probably a lot more in demand than some of the other Brat Packers.

+1 Winnipeg scares me and I only go when forced by work/medical appointments etc, otherwise I stay clear. However, my OH tells me I am being unfair and that there are many nice places and things to do and see there. He works in the city. I am always glad to leave it behind in the rear view mirror.
