Respighi,

Out of all the list the only thing I've done is paid for dinner with coins. Although technically it was only one coin, a silver dollar. It was Thanksgiving Day, 1955, because both my parents had to work. I left the change as a tip and the waitress was appreciative. This was on Fremont St., in Las Vegas. See? I've always been this cool.

Binx -- Nope. But then, I think I'm slightly sociopathic so . . .
