In that last link, it should be .rpm, not .rdm

Took me awhile to get that, but you gotta hear it, it is very funny.

Anyways, how could I leave out the original Bud Man, good call. Nothing is more fun than remembering a afternoon listening to Harry, loaded, broadcasting from the stands on a hot August afternoon, calling the shots on a meaningless game and saying the same things as all the fans, good and bad, about the team.

Just one tribute site, check out the pics of harry sporting his beer cup.

It seems to me that the drunks on TV rarely act like real-life drunks. The slurred speech and wobbily walks are so put-on. Very few seem at all convincing to me…

## Thanks! I tried it after I posted it and it didn’t work. I just couldn’t figure out what I did wrong. It’s great having someone come by and clean up my mess. Do you do houses too? 🙂
