Annetti...he went to mine too, UMass Amherst, but grad school and long after me. I did go with both Taj Mahal, who dated a girl in my dorm, and Buffy St. Marie though.

My friend and I once followed O.J. Simpson around the old Memorial Auditorium hallways during a Buffalo Braves game.

Bill Cosby ate lunch at Tadich Grill in San Francisco one Saturday in April, 2003. We saw him there. And he didn't order fried pickles.

My best friend and I can sing the "Oscar Meyer Weiner Song"...one word at a time...in its' entirety!

Example:

BuffaloGirl: Oh
Friend: I
BuffaloGirl: Wish
Friend: I
BuffaloGirl: Were
Friend: An
BuffaloGirl: Oscar
Friend: Meyer
Buffalo: Wiener

And so on......keeping the tune in key all the way through.

I just went over the song in my head, and I'm wrong. We actually do it in syllables:

BG: Oh
Friend: I
BG: Wish
Friend: I
BG: Were
Friend: An
BG: Os
Friend: car
BG: Mey
Friend: er
BG: Wie
Friend: ner

You get it, don't ya? (And I've been spelling wiener wrong, I think).

I must get away from this thread.

Modern science believes that anyone who posts more than 3 times to a thread like this may need an intervention from their family.

I'm only up to 2. BuffaloGirl?

wow - WRONG ANSWER! We're only looking for useless information. That actually sounds pretty good!

The radio announcer said not to take that road because it's closed.

I know the words to Phoebe's "Smelly Cat".
In fifth grade I won half a cake in a cake walk.
I sat next to Country Joe of Country Joe and the Fish in my freshman Political Science class..............

Rats can't barf either. What's up with upchucking and the animal kingdom?

Indianapolis' new Conrad Hilton is only their 4th Conrad in the United States. It's the first one they've built from the ground up in the US.

Only 3 so far. Intervention is a single post away.
