James Buchannan went to my college -- Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA.

I have a theory on the origination of the term "86-ing" something. Obviously it refers to terminating or throwing something out. My theory is it came from the Adventure Gum Series (R338) Schmeling card with the swastika. This card generated so much trouble it was pulled from the seires. In other words it was terminated or thrown out. The Schmeling card is No. 86.
