Point taken - and I hope that by now noone is still reading this thread so this will pretty much serve as an e-mail.

I am allergic to chicken -

He is the only other person I have ever met who is also allergic to chicken -

I included the reference as an identifier but I guess I failed miserably -

The concert was great by the way....

Steinkamp....did you develop some kind of interest in chicken after graduation? : ) Also allergic to chicken in addition to being an ATO or also allergic to chicken in addition to someone else being allergic to chicken? I'm not sure of the significance of being allergic to chicken. Are they serving chicken at the concert? You're funny but I'm not sure why! ;)

Name doesn't ring a bell. But man there were so many ATOs (and if memory serves, most were crazy). I'm sure he doesn't know who I am either.

Oh Jonathan...anyone who talks about Sweetness is OK with me. I've already decided that any future dog I get will be named Sweetness. I was living in Chicago during the Superbowl Shuffle ("We are the bears/Shufflin' Crew/Shufflin' on Down/Doin' it for You!"). And I had the video taped on...you guessed it: Beta!

Ahh, whatever happened to our punky QB and The Fridge? I met Willie Gault about 8 years ago in Chicago...really nice guy.

And that was the last time I really cared about pro football. But Reggie Bush is making me kind of care again. Who wouldnt' want to root for the Saints?

Wow a middle-age support group...I think I'm home!

Other things that this group of freshmen likely don't know:

* Jim Valvano running around the court looking for someone to hug after uber-underdogs N.C. State shocked Houston's Fi Slamma Jamma.

* That Sally K. Ride isn't a rollercoaster at the amusement park.

* How critical it was to tune into the last episode of M*A*S*H*, since there wasn't Tivo and taping things were still expensive.

* Who John Belushi was and why the world lost one of the first physical comedians, pre-Jim Carrey, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, etc

* Life before Internet, IM, Googling for answers, searchinng for term papers online, chat rooms, forums and programming that didn't involve going to a college for computer cards and then all the sorting that went into it.

* Live-Aid, Farmers-Aid, Band-Aid, etc as the beginning of big concert efforts to raise money for those in need.

* When Coca-Cola tried to change it's 99-year old formula to "New Coke" and very quickly later reintroduced "Classic Coke" (a lesson that's revisited in every college Marketing class of "what not to do"

* The joy of watching Walter "Sweetness" Payton run around, over, under and through the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. Also, the entire Bears team introducing "The Super Bowl Shuffle"

* Rain Man, Mississippi Burning, A Fish Called Wanda, Bull Durham All great movies that are rented to this day and include great, great actors/actresses.

Ahh, yes, this group of kids will likely say the same thing to the incoming freshmen of 2024 and we'll sit back and just smile like the elders of today.

Wine-Oh - thanks for that link. Cool stuff. There used to be a TV show like this in Vegas (would come on after Blind Date). Anyhow this guy does it better, and it's in NYC so I can relate to some of this stuff.

Yeah, if the 4-motion was available in stick we would've gone that way. But we don't know how to drive automatics - jk ;) Had we waited a year they offered a stick with the 4mo with the 1.8T. Anyhoo... I enjoy driving sticks in NYC. My bro-in-law lives in the Village, and we own the West Side Highway (hehehe) when we're in town.

Heather - Sorry, way OT here. Where were we, Def Leppard, Matt Lauer, GnR, Hunks, Dorks?

Ed- if we were to go with the assumption that I am the decider of dorkhood...you know, that in my own homebody, cleaning frenzied, shopaholic, likes to smell stuff life, that someone deemed me approriate to decide who is a dork (and let me just say that I wear my dorkhood on the inside pretty much), then I personally would say that no you are not a dork. If you wear said t-shirt with pencil leg jeans and black-and-white checkered Vans, then you are. I'm just imaging the eye rolling that took place when the hair bands joke was made....assuming she's old enough to be annoyed by you (and if not, it's coming....good luck to you). Hee.

Hey Ed and Wine-Oh- dueling Passats. Cool!

Wine-Oh — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 18:24:46 GMT

Ed- A stick Passat wagon? That is a soccer mom car. I have the 4 Motion sedan and it doesnt come in stick. Plus stick in NYC is not fun.

NYC weather is great right now. Great time to walk around the city. Unlike our heatwave in July. I am headed to Toronto on Monday for vacation. Good luck with your interviews.

VW actually tested the new Rabbit here in NYC and had them going around town as taxi's. Great marketing idea http://www.gypsycabproject.com/
