> I went to high school with a guy named Michael Jackson. Among other things, he wanted to be a commedian. In the early-to-mid-1980s he did a little stand-up routine in the bar of a local hotel. It was really lame. He was ‘reading a newspaper and picking out interesting articles’. At one point he said, 'Ah! There’s a new movie out starring Arnold Schwartzenegger: _Conan the Librarian_. ‘Cause, y’see… librarian sounds like… anyway…’

> The guy needed to work on his humour. He did a routine at the Antelope Valley Fair in 1986 that included this gem: ‘Here is my impression of the Space Shuttle _Challenger_.’ He produced a paper airplane and either crumpled it up and tossed it, or set it on fire and tossed it. (I wasn’t there.) The Antelope Valley is part of the Mojave Desert that includes Palmdale – where the Space Shuttles were built – and Edwards AFB, where they landed. :smack: Needless to say, his little joke went over like a turd in a punchbowl. :wally:

Wow, you must have gone to the same High School as me. I still love telling people I went to High School with Micheal Jackson. Of course, the one I knew was a skinny white boy, not like the one currently in the news :rolleyes: Were you at Antelope Valley High, and if so, what year did you graduate?

Aww, and too bad as a lil freshman in highschool many years ago I thought I was original. Oh well, I suppose Big AL and I are on the same wavelength (or alteast teen Conan and 1989 Weird AL were). Interestingly enough I’m listening to his music while I’m writing this (The Media player is on random, and determined I needed a good dose of comedy).
