Re: Demented Datebook Nov 30

'Twas Sun, 30 Nov 2003 09:46:21 -0800 when all rec.music.dementia stood in
awe as David Tanny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uttered:

You left out $20,000 pyramid.  I don't remember $50,000, but I assume you
are correct.

There's Something About Mary, There's Something About Mary

He was born a day before the comet came, but he always claimed he was born
while the comet was visible in the sky.  Well maybe it was visible, but
just as a dot like a normal star.  In the last year of his life he said
something like "I came with the comet and I'll leave with it too."  If
someone is sick and near death it's not hard for him to die on the day he
decides to die.

Invented a heart monitor.  Worked as his brothers' agent after he stopped
performing.

I think you mean "Ukeleleist".  According to Dave's Datebook he was born
in 1923.  Who are you to doubt Dave Tanny?
