Thank you, I had to google Buddy Rich. Shows how much I know about drumming.
hehe. I heard that after Buddy died, his agent answered a call from someone wanting to book him. The agent explained that Buddy had passed away. The same guy called back, and the agent again explained that Buddy was gone. When he called a third time, the agent asked if he hadn’t already called twice. His reply, “Yep. I just enjoy hearing the news”.
Apparently Buddy didn’t have many friends. 
Twickster went to UC Santa Barbara the same time I did, but I never met her. She also likes musicals.
danceswithcats makes great chili!
It was also reported that when Buddy was admitted to the hospital for what turned out to be his final stay, he was asked if he had any allergies. The acerbic reply: “Yeah. Country music.”
I heard that his response was, “Yeah, two: country and western.”
Speaking of, does anyone know the former poster Gundy? She’s the only poster I ever met (well, minus my girlfriend whom I introduced to this board), when I coincidentally ended up in the cubicle next to her in a temp job I held a few years back. What happened to her?
I met her a couple of times at ChiDopes. She was very cute in person, even if she didn’t photograph well. I know a fact about her: she and I are both of Norwegian - Mexican descent. She looks more Mexican, I look more Norse.
She’s awesome and married and has another kiddo now. And it’s her birthday tomorrow.
I grew up in the town commasense lives in now.
Who, me? 
FYI, here is a thread I started in 2002 titled Ask the Militia Guy! And it case you’re wondering, our group is still around and going strong. 
OneCentStamp and lobstermobster are in a death metal band together
MaxTheVool’s cousin and I grew up together, and she has a speaking role in The Pursuit of Happiness (2006). Prior to him seeing a post of mine about my hometown a few years back, we were complete and total strangers.
More about his cousin and I than about him, but it is all I’ve got. :o
Hmmm. Well two out of three ain’t bad. 
I’m quite positive I have never been to a horrible dopefest. And I don’t usually drive to them. Either I fly or my husband drives, and I don’t recall ever going to one without him.
And that whole ‘quiet’ thing goes right out the window after a few drinks.
ThisSpaceforRent served on the same ship I did: USS Virginia CGN 38. (And here I’d thought I’d be the only one on the Dope.)
TPWOMBAT is wanted for murder on six continents ,has an appalling taste in women and cant juggle.
I believe** lobstermobster ** and **Bosda ** were a couple for awhile, until he broke up with her to move onto bigger and better things.
If you think I’m capable of this thing, lobster, you clearly missed the “Let’s hear YOUR music!” thread.
But that’s not to say we can’t try. 
\m/:mad:\m/ <— metal-ass OneCentStamp throwin’ the devil horns
Awesome. Well, if you see her or write her, tell her happy birthday from pulykamell. I knew about the marriage, but not the second kid. Oh yeah, and Go Cubs!
