Re: Dear Richardson Resident Amanda Tackett,
As it turns out, the nasty e-mail I received and shared with Overheardians this morning is really chapter 2 of the story. At about 3:00 today I realized chapter 1 was written in 1987. See, now I know that Amanda is the same Mandi from high school who terrorized me with horrid punk rock-ish music in carpool. I was very mainstream and stuck to things like Bon Jovi and Madonna. Mandi was very Circle Jerks, Butthole Surfers and the like.
Can I really listen to the Butthole Surfers on my way to chapel? I think not.
So, the joke was on me. Score one for Mandi Amanda.

Hey Merritt, I have to go to school tomorrow but I think I am going to skip just so I can watch you tomorrow in the skit.
Bon Jovi and Madonna were mainstream?
Charles, that made me spit beverage for real. Yes. Anything that was top 40. The Footloose soundtrack etc- mainstream.
Since Mandi/Amanda “knew you when,” maybe she knows something we don’t about the Cavalier. I bet it was red.
Hm. Well, I must have been fishing in a different stream because I wasn’t listening to Bon Jovi and Madonna. Darn, I missed out again.
oh Mandi, you came and you gave without takin’…
Ha, I love it! Score one indeed.
More importantly, does she have a First Baptist Academy yearbook?
If so, I will buy the 1st round.
I honestly am amazed that a girl from First Baptist Academy was not grounded for life just for saying the words “Circle Jerks” and “Butthole Surfers”. Speaking of the B***hole Surfers (sorry, but that name gives me the shivers and not in a good way), was anyone aware that the founder of the band is Gibby Haynes, son of beloved Dallas kiddie icon Mr. Peppermint? Mr. Peppermint performed at my 5th birthday party and I crushed on him in a big way…must have been the striped jacket and straw hat! I realize this has nothing to do with Mandi or Merritt.
No Cavalier. Sorry, I know that would make your day!
This much I can remember…the car, maybe not a Cavalier, but a Pontiac Sun-Chicken, was indeed RED. I DO have a 1987 yearbook… And, the musical stylings of Samantha Foxx “Touch Me, Touch Me NOW” was on heavy rotation. To this day, I cannot hear “Livin’ on a Prayer” without thinking of Merritt, the girl who made FBA fun, and her behind-the-wheel dance moves…
This is turning into a Merritt/Mandi/Amanda love fest and I’m not sure I like it.
Amanda, photos please.
Seriously?
