YB & C-Dub,

I used to listen to Jean Shepherd on the radio just about every night, particularly in the summertime, as I was camped outside my house when I was a young teenager (yes, I lived in a tent outside my NJ home for a year or two... but that's ANOTHER story).  That guy was a helluva good storyteller.  Ralphie's Christmas adventure barely touches the surface of Jean's good stuff.  Someday I'll invest some energies & find some old recordings of his.

He & Seinfeld may have some similarities, but for my money Jean Shepherd has the much richer stuff, IMHO.

Anyhow, for what it's worth, WE'LL BE BABBLING ON ABOUT THESE & OTHER POINTLESS VOYAGEUR STORIES OF INTEREST BETWEEN SIPS AT BUSHWHACKER'S JAMBOREE, NOW LESS THAN 97.5 DAYS/JOURS AWAY!!
