  1. Looking buff there Miss C. By the way. The True story of Chappaquiddick links to Cats of Lisbon.

  3. Can you imagine what it would be like if the
    equivalent of Chappaquiddick happened today?

    As for #thisreallyhappened - Who Cares?

    OK - for the Kopechne family, I get it and I
    empathize. But the movie is neither about them

  4. I always suspected that the Cats of Lisbon were somehow involved in Chappaquiddick.

    There's a "graveyard" of the disused molds and some of the figures.
