Sailed the sewers of Paris.

I did this in 1975--quite illegally, though.

Oh, and I skipped the FOURTH grade, by the way.

what do you mean, 'without looking for them?'

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Well I was a kid just pointing the damned thing up at the sky pretty much at random, not looking for or at anything in particular and there they were.

I got to represent the Central African Republic once, but it's not as good as UAE!

Especially as a propagandist from the Arab States Information Service flew in from New York at their expense to prepare us.

[hypomnesis.livejournal.com]

Yeah totally.

I totally done all that.

Twice, even.

I thought that was you, second from the left.

[hypomnesis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was the one with the clothes. And the hair.

played a worlds fair?
I worked one summer at one
play was limited to a beer at
the schaffer pavillion or something.

I don't suppose you caught any of the high school bands performing in the NYS Pavilion featured in the MIB movie?

[seraphimsigrist.livejournal.com]

summer of my first year at
seminary.
