The biggest Rat you ever met.

Did not "meet" him, but Bob Eubanks (former L.A. Am Radio D.J. and host of the first Newlywed Game) used to frequent the Burbank airport on the same flights I took.

He was a Rats AzzH@LE to be sure.

    I walked by Joe Satriani in the parking lot of The Ryman in Nashville. He was coming out as I was going in. Said "hello" to him and he just gave me one of those who the **** are you looks and kept on walking.

    I was thinking to myself, how the **** are you playing at The Ryman? LOL.

    Don Drysdale, when he was announcing for the Angels. I was in front of the stadium with a couple of buddies, and Don is walking up for his day's "work." We wave from a distance of 20 feet or so, "Hey, Don! What's happenin'" or something to that effect. He gave us a withering look designed to inform us that had we been pond scum it would have been a promotion. His attitude didn't seem to improve when I observed loudly that we help pay his freaking salary.

    Once they become bassists, they deny all such Arcane practices and concentrate on standing upright.  If they morph into guitarists, they just play whenever they want to anyway.  As keyboardists, they're too preocupied with getting the other guys to tune properly to pay much attention.  Vocalists only count to, "Ugh", anyway.  If they somehow become a violinist, they just smile quietly, basking in their superiority and wondering what on Earth they're doing in an AC/DC tribute band...

    Especially when the song is in 3/4.

    Two, both shared the same given and surname.

    Given name apparently means A Rock.

    Surname is a colour you get when you mix Yellow and Red.

    Rats!

    *Phew!*  I was getting nervous after the given name (since "Craig" can mean "rock" in Scottish or Welsh), but fortunately my surname is neither Orange, nor does it rhyme with Orange.  I value all my limbs you know.
     
    (Hmm...  Just realized that, if you consider etnic slurs, then a mix of Yellow and Red could mean a surname of "Big Bear Wang")

    It certainly does to the soundman who had his girl stolen by the drummer in the song Rosie.
