[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Where Did "87" Come From?

Posted: 3/31/2006 4:16:23 PM EDT

I keep on hearing it all of the time, and I never knew where "87" came from? Does anyone know how it was created? It seems to be the inside joke on this board, and I was wondering when it was created? LOL, I bet I will get some funny "87" answer, but perhaps someone will tell the truth. Thanks!
