Or WHO-TV in the same city. They had a booth at the Iowa State Fair. I told one of the anchors, Ed Wilson, that I was fan of the rock band The Who\*. He gave me an autographed photo with the inscription “We are the other Who!” \*I actually told him that I was a WHO fan. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Meurglys] So this isn’t about _Dr. Who_ fans…? I was going to agree, if it was! [/QUOTE] I would point out that it’s _Doctor_, not _Dr._, but I’m not one of those nitpicky fans. Nosirreebobsyouruncle. ---

[QUOTE=Meurglys] So this isn’t about _Dr. Who_ fans…? I was going to agree, if it was! [/QUOTE] Doctor Who fandom isn’t kvetchy, just pretentious. Gods, I haven’t seen so much bitching in a fandom since Gundam Wing. Well, I mean, there’s Harry Potter, but it is already the unanimous king of fandom wank. It’s an unspoken truth. ---

**cochrane** Good point. After all, _whom_ playing first base messes up the whole routine. Since we were speaking of WHO, ever hear the updated version of the “Who’s On First” sketch? Promoter: We’ve got a great rock and roll festival scheduled with 3 big name rock bands. Press Agent: Great. So who’s on first? Promoter: That’s right !! Press Agent: No, I need to know the name of the first band. Promoter: Who etc … ---
