Saw "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in a theater where no one knew you were supposed to do things during the film.  It was still pretty entertaining, I fell in lust with Susan Sarandon.  Later, in Newark De a local group had a female Dr Frankenfurter for their run of the movie.  That made the Janet/Dr scenes a bit interesting.2. One of my neighbors was a professional clown; my brother started training with him first, then me, then my Mom.  She ended up having the best career of it by being the old lady called from the audience to be put up on two brooms, then having one pulled out from under her to sweep the stage.   A few folks commented that they worried about her health when she hobbled up to the stage with her cane.  I dressed in my clown outfit on July 4th, 1976 because the aircraft carrier I was assigned to was stationed off Jacksonville Beach, Fl, for the sake of readiness.   :\  They had a cookout on the flightdeck, babes went around our ship in speedboats and I wasn't bored for a few hours by clowning around.3.  I have done a small program on punchcards for a class!  The computer the DLA commcenter I worked at had was bought second-hand from Sears in the 70s.  cardpunch and tape drives, it was great.4. At one game of D&D I met my future wife, two future bosses - one became the VP of the company and hired me and the other was hired later but became my supervisor.   and to think as soon as I sat down on the couch with my character I fell asleep!  They were so nice they figured I must have had a rough day so they played without waking me up, despite my snoring outrageously!  I was finally woken when it got to a fight and no one wanted to risk being the one to get my character killed.  They were sweethearts, a great group of gamers.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> 5. I played The MtG card character, The Goblin King at a LARP.  I even successfully did a cartwheel without injury!</blockquote>
