> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > Yeah, well. I’ve been on some other bandwagons that haven’t worked out so well. The Ariel Sharon bandwagon – for several years. The Zsa Zsa bandwagon last year. > > On the plus side, I was on both the Patrick Swayze and Farrah Fawcett bandwagons, which were big payoffs. Maybe you need to change your music style and find a different band? 🙂 ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > Repeat after me… “Jump on bandwagons.” I made a final week in December substitution to jump on the Etta James bandwagon, and whoo! I have points. And I still have high hopes that the Robin Gibb and Penny Marshall bandwagons will start playing dirges soon. Sorry, no. My entire list is made up of bandwagon jumps, and I still have zero points. 😛 ---
