Also I wish you would return "Everyday Guide for the Ignorant" I was agreeing with you (jokingly I might add)in my first post, >note to self... English teachers are touchy.

Well, I feel like a complete ass. Sorry. TexasTransplant. Are you from Texas or have you recently moved to Texas? I grew up in Waco, but have been living in Huntsville, AL for the past 8 years. I miss being around decent people, good drivers, and real BBQ.

Did you know that not only was Forrest Gump a football hero at the University of Alabama, but he was also Valedictorian of his senior class.

PS: Marvin starred in a movie about the indian guy Ira ------ who was in the group which raised the flag on Iwo. He drowned in a puddle of water, after staggering out of a bar and falling down drunk. Ithink that's how Marvin gets associated with Iwo.

Can you immagine John Wayne saying, "Fill your hand, you S..O..B..", to Pee Wee Herman in a public place?

Back in the 1940s, a fellow by the name of Kermit Shaeffer released a series of albums containing radio outtakes under the title Pardon My Bloopers. The records were very popular, even though most of the clips were totally faked (most radio was live, so the shows themselves were lost forever mistakes and all!). Yeah, even the one about the kid show host who thought he was off the air and said "There, that ought to keep the little bastards happy" - that was faked and never happened. Still, Shaeffer created an industry that really grew over time - in fact the word 'Blooper' is a trademark.

My faith in Captain Kangaroo is restored, maybe Tyke was thinking it.

My father wanted into the WWII action and signed up with the Navy when he was 17 (I don't want to know how) , but he just missed it. I think the war ended when he was in boot. He was born in 1928. Ended up on a long destroyer cruise up and down the coast of China.

He was probably in some sort of Aggie secret society also.

I think he lived his life out on a reservation and just drank himself into oblivion. Sad!

Don't forget that he was also a Vietnam War hero, a successful shrimp boat owner, a "runner" that footsteped across the country for 3 years while growing a robust beard, and an international ping-pong champ. We're taking up pennies from the local school kids so that we can cast a statuette of him. It will hang prominently from the power line that crosses Main Street for all to see.

But at that age he was probably a private not a sargeant.

Please understand that I am not trying to take anything from the accomplishments of the great individual, I was only complementing on the mentality of the average UA student.

I will admit that the student body showed great restraint when they were no longer permitted to do a Christmas play on campus. There were rumors going around that the ACLU had stopped it because of the religious issues. However, those of us in the know, knew it was because they couldn't find three wise men or a virgin on the campus.
