    While standing by a restaurant a couple of years ago waiting for friends to show up, a guy in a pickup truck stopped and yelled out GMan. He does on occasion lurk here.

    Either way, you're sure to get LOTS of attention, either from delighted small children or slightly annoyed scantily clad Hooters waitresses.
    I did just that - twice. I went to a beauty shop and had them bleach the whole thing, hair and beard. It took six hours for the whole proceedure. And afterward it was fun, but tireing, and I hated it when my normal color started to grow back.

    I don't know why my hair just doesn't change white....heck I don't care.

If you don't believe the impact he had was huge, ask yourself this, how many people have their memorial service broadcast on national TV? I can think of much worse to be compared to. </>

    James, you're not REALLY famous until you have people throwing rose petals before you.

    I sure don't see that happening any time soon. The next time that I predict roses being thrown in my direction will be when I am in the ground, and then not often...........

    I was a lurker here for a long time before I joined and while I'm a member now, I generally only check in every few days and log in only when I'm making a comment.

    If bad spelling is a worry for the "lurkers",then they should cease to worry forthwith.I rely on the fact that British English spelling is not the same as US English Spelling!Has no one noticed my poor spelling yet?No?Great I have not been rumbled yet!More likely though,is that everyone is too polite to say anything.
