THEME: first word of a phrase can be preceded by T
GOOD ONES:
Sporty car roofs {& theme} T Tops
Italian hot spot ETNA [oldie but goodie]
It can't help being negative ELECTRON [I thought "Your mate"] :)
Paris pop PERE [not soda or music]
BTW:
Pre-A.D. BCE [means "Before the Common Era" except I have no idea what the Common Era is or whether what came before it was "uncommon." Actually it's just a term created by haters of religion or of Christianity, a word which might be changed to Commonanity --- you know, to go with BCE. To quote Dylan, "I used to care, but things have changed."
RATING: ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

This has nothing to do with the puzzle, but I don't think one needs to hate Christianity, or religion in general, to think that coming up with a label not explicitly referring to Christ for a now-universally-used dating system was a reasonable idea. (I don't know just where "Common Era" came from either.)

Hi, Bill---
You're right about a discussion regarding BCE not being a propos to this site. I mentioned it because BCE is a neologism with political overtones. Perhaps I was wrong to express my opinion about the term, but a little spice once in a while...
If you'd like to discuss the issue further, please contact me at magus@triad.rr.com or at www.anthonymagarello.com. I simply can't figure out any other reason for its creation.
