"I went to Cornell. You ever heard of it? I graduated in four years, I never studied once, I was drunk the whole time, and I sang in the acapella group, "Here comes Treble."" -Andy, The Office, Season 3, Episode 1 [Note: There is a female acapella group called "Nothing But Treble" at Cornell.]
Various stuff: I was on The Price Is Right; I won 2 motorcycles and a dinette set. (My mother and an aunt were on the $10,000 Pyramid.) I skipped the 8th grade, and graduated high school at 16. I'm flat-footed so I'm a slooow runner though I look fast. Upon switching elementary schools for 2nd grade, I took a placement test (which in no way accounted for my obvious nervousness) that placed me in the bottom level class; the following year I was placed in the highest level for 3rd grade and went onto be elementary school valedictorian (and then again in junior high). Speaking of elementary school, my vice principal had a twin brother who was also a vice principal, and my 3rd grade class was photographed for a NY Daily News article about it. I saw "A Christmas Story" when it first came out in a movie theater, while most everyone has seen it but very few when it came out.
