Here's mine:

Today, we had a guest pastor at our church (apparently, the regular one is still on vacation). He sounded a lot like Tom Kennedy.

One of my professors last semester sounded just like Bill Anderson and looked like Chuck Barris.

I had a co-worker who sounds a lot like Gordon Elliott.

To me, Bob Barker sounds a lot like a game show emcee.

Richard Karn does not. :-)

Bye.

My freshman year high-school algebra teacher was a dead ringer for Art Fleming. No joke.

So all of your algebra tests had the answers on them?

Even before Art was dead. How prescient!

I can't tell you how many times I had the urge to phrase my response in the form of a question.

"So what does X equal?"

"What is six, Mr. Norton?"

I think my 7th grade Science teacher looks a bit like Amitabh Bachchan of Kaun Banega Crorepati.

There's a legendary disc jockey named Jimmie Rabbitt who used to work at KLIF in Dallas during the mid-to late '60s; and did an 'underground' -type show at KRLA in the early '70s. He also had a radio gig at one of those satallite radio networks that played oldies; and that's where I heard him (one of the AM stations in nearby Ventura carried his show). To me, Rabbitt sounded like an FM version of Wink Martindale. I'm sure many Calfornia listeners at the time wondered if it was really the Winkster broadcasting under the Rabbitt moniker.

(BTW, I have an aircheck of Rabbitt on KRLA from the summer of 1969.)

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Autumn Hargis of the Big Board!'

P.S. Please, no 'Wink in a rabbit's costume' remarks; or it's eternity in the Lover or Loser viewing room!

It's not? I thought it was people who sound like GS hosts.

I don't recall any people I know sounding like hosts, but one of my math teachers in HS began every day with "Thank you friends, thank you Don Pardo." I made myself a Geek for Life(tm) by one day replying "Who died and made you Art Fleming?"
