Didn't realize Yasser and I
Didn't realize ol' Yasser and I had so much in common. Probably more in common than I would have with ol' Stephen Fry, Dave Chappelle and a few others on this list. Probably shouldn't say much about the evenings when ol' Carlo Cambino and I used to run around together tying cats tails together and then tossing them over a clothesline to fight it out.

What I found coincidental
What I found coincidental about this thread is that it started on February 7, which was my mother's birthday. She would have been 94.
Others with February 7 birthdays include: John Deere, Charles Dickens, Garth Brooks and Ashton Kutcher. Also, Hrafnhildur Hafsteinsdottir, Miss Universe-Iceland 1996.
