Lememming du jour

Now that LJ is up again....ten "facts" about me; you get to guess which four are false.

  1. My first job outside of my home was as a fashion model.
  2. I used to like to eat dog food as a child.
  3. I worked at the New York Jets summer training camp.
  4. I have never been paid to appear on television.
  5. I used to smoke when I was in my teens.
  6. Barbra Streisand, Eddie Money, the Kingston Trio, and I have all had the same voice teacher.
  7. I have sung backup for Harry Chapin.
  8. I was once arrested for shoplifting.
  9. I was once apprehended by security in Madison Square Garden.
  10. I used to work for NASA.

All these loquatious people!

I can see you in #1-3 because they are so not-you-now. I would expect that by now you have been paid to appear on TV, just as I have been paid to not appear on TV. Seem to remember something about smoking. #6 is false even if you think it's true, because the Kingston Trio re-formed, adding a former member of The Foremen, whom I know did not have voice lessons with the others. And I could believe 7-10 though maybe 9 is doubtful because you're a small target and might be difficult to apprehend.

Oh oh

I see you were at the UW 1968-72, a dangerous time to be there. And then the Bay Area, indeed your LJ `nym is likely to fit.

UW? Uh, I don't think so. I was in Willingboro, NJ, back then and had never been west of the Mississippi.

You got the LJ notify from what, to me, looks to be my reply to howeird. I think LJ gives the owner of the original post notifies for all replies 'under' that post.

You're totally wrong in your guesses -- and I was referring to the original Kingston Trio.

You have correctly identified three falsehoods.
