Man, I hope Al _DOESN"T_ start posting. I’d have to change my sig. . . ---

[QUOTE=CalMeacham] This is an interesting and potentiall exciting possibility. Consider: You may be a big fan of Weird Al’s, but this shows that it’s possible that Weird Al might be a fan of _you_. [/QUOTE] As long as…certain topics…never wind up in any of his songs. ---

Thanks SkipMagic! [QUOTE=Nutty Bunny] My husband was on my brother’s myspace page and read it there. That’s how we find out about anything that’s going on with him, since he neglects to tell us anything. In fact, I found out about his getting a job in Cleveland from reading a freakin’ message board, ferchrissakes! [/QUOTE] That’s funny. I’m a bit like that with my son too. I think he hates to put anything on his MySpace page knowing that I’ll be reading it and can leave a Comment. [QUOTE=Little Nemo] Has anyone ever seen Weird Al Yankovic and Cecil Adams in the same room? [/QUOTE] I wanna know if anyone’s ever seen Al and Joe “King” Carrasco in the same room! ---

I met AL on that swing thru Cleveland last week. I work just around the corner from WQAL where he dropped in on the morning show crew. They put me on mic in studio with him and got him to sign my copy of _Poodle Hat_. Wonder if he’ll agree to call my wife and remind her that I want a copy of _Straight Outta Lynwood_ for our anniversary. ---

[QUOTE=appleciders] Wait a minute- no one’s got Al in the Death Pool, do they? _That_ would be awkward. [/QUOTE] There is a rule that you cannot pick other Dopers in the DeathPool cause that would be weird. I don’t know if it applies to Celebrity Lurkers. ---

It’s OK, Al. I know I can be intimidating, but really, you can post too. Apparently you can sometimes be mildly amusing yourself. ---
