When I was about 5 years old (sometime around 1970) I got to go on one of the kiddie birthday programs that was on tv. Seems like it was called “Kittarick” or something, and was hosted by a woman in a cat costume. Anyway, I remember being on the set and some guy was playing grab ass with the woman in the cat costume. It was Marvin. Funny the things you remember.
C’mon, don’t be so shy:
Go Bears!
It was “Kitterik”—from the call letters of the ABC affiliate, KTRK. My best friend got to have her birthday on the show, and we were in the audience. She got to ride the merri-go-round and meet Kitterik… I was so jealous! 
I hadn’t thought of that in years!
Last time I went to a football game in Waco, there were more Aggies in the stadium [sub]stadium snicker[/sub] than folks from Sodom on the Brazos. I wouldn’t brag too much if I were you.
Ever wonder who put the Dixie Chicken sticker on your bell that day?
After driving through college station numerous times, I can now do 4 lengths of an Olympic pool underwater on a single breath.
Sic 'em Bears!
Anybody else remember accusations that Marvin Zindler had a ‘throw-down roach’ for restaurants he didn’t like?
And speaking of Houston, you’ve just got to include mention of the crazy mattress-salesman ads. What was that guy’s name?
Mattress Mac, though I don’t remember his last name.
Someone here in Austin has taken his “I want to save YOU MONEY”(throw handfulls of cash) routine.
Pablito, I can’t remember his name. All I can remember is:
I was on Kitterick too! Texican, you mean to tell me that she was havin’ Marvin Zindler, even after that nice callalilly I gave her when I was five?

I think if anything this attendance figure proves the relative merits of Waco vs. College Station. 
As for the bell, no I don’t think I’ve heard of that… 1) What bell exactly are you talking about and 2) did you have to have a few practice run-throughs with the yell leaders telling you how to apply the sticker?
And ‘Sodom on the Brazos?’ Come on. We all know the Big XII South has only one Sodom, and it is on the Colorado, not the Brazos.
Nothing I did in college involved practice runs. Many of the stunts, however, did involve beer.
His name is Jim “Mattress Mac” McIngvale…
And BTW, Gig 'em, Aggies!
Oh dear, I’ll be living in Houston for most of the summer. My little Minnesotan butt’s in for a shock!
(Leaves to go practice saying “Boy ah’ll tell you what”)
I don’t know if he got any or not, but he was making a go at it the best I could tell (I was a kid, so what do I know). He was, literally, pawing at her ass and chasing her around. I somehow don’t think she was all that amused.
Yeah. Texas rocks.
Damn furrinahs.
Ya know, jinwicked, I could’ve gone the rest of my life without ever hearing that again… sigh

Sorry Lightnin’, he still says that.
More about Houston:
*Jackets are rarely used outside. However, they’re used alot inside when some idiot sets the AC at 50.
*Cars honk when you drive 25 mph in a 40 mph lane. Cars also honk when you drive 40 mph in a 40 mph lane.
*Channel 2 likes to exaggerate things. But only some things.
They’ll have a huge story on Astroworld then a 30 second blurb on Iraq
*By the way, Astroworld is fun.
*Space Center Houston might sound intresting, but it’s REALLY boring.
*Please do NOT flick off the random stranger that just said hi. He’s only being friendly.
*All soft drinks are called Coke.
*The preffered Coke is Dr Pepper.
*Expect at least 1 person in the neighborhood to be using their grill on any given day of the week.
*Anyone in Bellaire should be ready to deal with not only flying roaches the size of the Taco Bell chihuahua, but rats the size of possums.
*It helps to know basic Spanish/Spanglish. French is just plain useless.
*When it comes to sports, everyone always talks about Yao Ming because there isn’t much else to talk about.
*It’s hot. Really hot. Don’t even think about whining about it to a native until it’s about, oh, maybe 100 degrees.
And 1 more thing about Texas in general:
DALLAS IS NOT PART OF TEXAS!
