Thanks, Steven. It's like I've said before, I'm just l'il ol' me. I don't have anything to be obnoxious or conceited about. I don't think I'm better than anyone else...I'm just a guy...in this discussion, one with a better-than-average memory, but I'm still just me. It's just one of the things that makes me an individual. It makes me different, not better.
And for somebody that's supposed to be so dayum smart, I've done some STUPID stuff in my life. LMAO I have to laugh about it, you know?
And I agree with you about the crew around here...it's all a bunch of people having fun with each other, and there's very little ego or attitude. Granted, we've gotten into some heated discussions, but by and large, we respect each other and get along great. And the talent level around here is phenomenal!! (it honestly made me scared to sub the first time...I'm no great shakes as a singer, but I just love to have fun...so I did it anyway  )

There are some amazingly talented singer's here.. Funny thing is, some don't consider themselves to be "musicians". Regardless of whether it's Karaoke backup, or a band backup, there are still some amazing musicians in here that are singer's. Actually as you say, quite a high percentage of talented individuals when compared to many other internet venues.

Which is how I feel. I'm just another individual with ability in certain area's, and no ability in other area's others in here have considerable ability and skill in.

Dave does being on tv effect you. I think being on tv would make me so nervous
I wouldn't be able to think. I remember once in college taking a test I got so nervous I blanked. I couldn't remember how to fill my name in the ovals. I ended up messing it up and having to go get another test sheet. How embarrassing. It is funny how I can get up in front of a bunch of people and give a speach or sing and be fine, but put a test in front of me and I'm an instant idiot.

You know what Babs? When I was on Millionaire, while I was actually playing the game, I was so focused on the game that I wasn't nervous really at all. The nerves hit me more during the commercial breaks .
There are several fun (maybe funny) stories around that whole thing...maybe one of these days I'll write 'em down and post 'em!

Did you save a video tape of your TV appearance? If so can you convert it to a
compressed .wmv file or something? It'd be fun to see! :)

Quote: "It was just mind-boggling that I had actually pulled this off; that I had actually done it, that I was going to make an idiot of myself on national television."
My fantasy is to get on the Letterman show for a few minutes. Get the gig Chris Elliot had. Some of us were just cut out to remain idiot's ! I've already tried, and done the IQ crap... It's not for me ! I prefer swinging towards the other extreme of the Bell Curve. Whether folks are laughing at, or with.... Doesn't matter. There's a paucity of laughter in the world today, I'll grab some anyway I can.
