>>>Yeah, I wonder about that too. I grew up some in South Buffalo - which is mostly just Krauts and Polocks - so really the only thing we had to fight was really bad taste in house colors. And before any lurkers get their panties in a twist, I've got both of those in me, so relax; it's what we called ourselves.

>>>>As to multiple persona, I'm guilty. There's Media Jones, Otis L. E. Vator and so on. My favorite, however, is the cartoon character, Elmer Fudd. I do a fair Elmer, and have even worked up a bit with Elmer singing his "Greatest Hits", like you see on those Time-Life music ads, and I even do the voice over (I've good voice control). Elmer sings things like: She Loves You, On Broadway and so on. He even does Christmas carols, such as, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. I also do Bob Dylan (whom I blame for rap), but it's no where near as funny as Elmer.

>>>Didn't Robin Williams do a routine of Elmer Fudd singing a song? Wasn't it "I'm on Fire" or something about driving a car? Can't recall now. You'll have to make an audio file available for us to hear.
>>
>>Yeah, he did. It was Bruce Springsteen's "Fire"..."I'm dwivin' in my car. I turn on the wadio."

Think about the songs though.:-) That's why the "Elmer's Greatest Hits" isn't a total ripoff.< bg >
