R5........I measured it!!
And, the last time I parked at the Atlanta airport, I said.........razzledazzle...my DH...said..what the hell?
I said I can remember we are parked in R5, because one of the ax murderers on fodors is called R5....razzledazzle.
He never understood, but I found the car upon our return home!!

I went to high school with Johnny Cash's daughters. My grandfather came from out of town to go to my brother's and my sister's graduation because Johnny was there. Roseanne was a couple of grades ahead of me and Cindy was a couple of grades below me.
Whatever algebra and geometry you forgot after high school you will relearn years later when your kids go to school!

I can say the alphabet backwords at breakneck lightning speed, thanks to a rainy day substitute teacher in 4th grade.
Ready?

Really, I can do this very fast, in just a few seconds. It is the ONLY thing I do that impresses my teenagers and their friends.

and I once knew a woman who lived in Kansas City who seriously dated the lead singer of the band Kansas (dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind), but she left him because her career was calling her to make more of a commitment and he was a needy fella at the time...

I was told that the "Hubba Hubba" expression when leering at pretty girls originated with Chinese sailors. As they walked down the street and saw a pretty girl, they would say to each other, "Good? Bad? Good? Bad" = "Hub hao? Hub hao?"
I guess westerners observing this thought this sounded like "Hubba hubba," and thus a verbal expression of ogling was born.

emd, I was bored in Kindergarten one day so I stared at the alphabet train on the wall until I could say it backwards!! Still can!! I think it's easier when you say it fast.
stw, I like making up words too. Remember granny-aunt? That's my contribution to the English language.
