What's your claim to fame?

[Whatever]

My claim to fame is being a freshman in a seniors' German class, and being the shyest person in the class, and the only student in that class constantly asked to give speeches about Germany.

Ah, but do you wear cups on your ears?

I guess Convincing John really can persuade someone to do anything...

:-P

I taught our psychology class in my 3rd year of college for a month about parapsychology. That was the equivalent of about 6 2-hour classes.

"Lissen to Convincin' John, and all your troubles will be gon'...."

Parapsychology-- is that like two psychologies?

 

[AndyWan Kenobi]

I have a couple of claims to fame. I've solved TWO "Wheel of Fortune" puzzles with absolutely no letters. They were "I Have A Dream" and "The Lincoln Memorial."

I have a strange super-power that allows me to put out streetlights with the energy of my mind. It's unpredictable and not something I can control, but it happens all the time.

In my dreams I have a different super-power that allows me to run down stairs at super-human speeds. Not terribly useful, but at least it's mine...

Oh, and in the real world I'm "the shoe guy." I frequently wear once black shoe and one white shoe (the same shoe model too, I might add), with a black sock under the white shoe and a white sock under the black shoe. It's fun! I think it's cool, and it's especially funny when little kids notice it (they always have to point it out to someone). Sometimes adults think it's cool, but a lot of them just give me confused and/or dirty looks... I'm messing with their world!

Parapsychology-- is that like two psychologies?

That was actually the joke I used the day I started talking to my class:

"Do you know what parapsychology is? Twin psychologists! GET IT?! Parapsychology? Pair o' Psychology??"

Nobody laughed then, either.

It's the scientific study of extrasensory perception, including alternative 'psychic' abilities (precognition, clairvoyance, etc), as well as apparitional studies.

Oh, and in my speech class one of my puppets, Buford the Dog, gave a speech; and I used to get caught in college classes by my instructors with Muley or other characters in front of the class prior to class time as they were making fun of the course from behind the teacher's podium.

So, which one are you? Ray or Egon?...

It was alot different in engineering classes. Everything was ones and zeros which reminds me of an engineering joke.

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Neither Ray or Egon! If you see my pics as a Ghostbuster, I'm "Williams," myself. I just tell folks I bought into the franchise (and some have ACTUALLY believed it)! LOL!!

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Actually, there are two types of people in the world: those who divide everything into two types, and those who don't...

 

[Fozzie Bear]

And then there's me, because I have NO idea what a binary is. Must have something to do with math since you're talking about division, unless you're discussing genetic division or atomic division--which I also have no idea about.
