Regrets, I Have a Few

Among them telling my college roommate Stan Buckley in 1978:

“No, I won’t get in on the ground floor on your new business venture. Not only will people NOT want to pay a buck for a cup of coffee but Starbucks is a stupid name!”

Compliment or Complement???

I’ve been told by many that I am as handsome a man as Kate Beckensale is a woman. (Not Kate Beckinsale, lovely actress of “Pearl Harbor” fame, but Kate Beckensale down the street. “Big Kate,” as the street urchins taunt her.)

Looner Fact

During their 1969 trip to the moon, Neil Armstrong became so annoyed by his ill-tempered Lunar Module occupant Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin that he soon began calling him “Buzz-kill.”

(OK, this is a lie, as we all know the moon landings were in fact a cruel hoax perpetrated upon the American public, one that so amused NASA that they repeated the stunt eight more times.)
