Once, in elementary school, in the year 1990: I wore a bunch of pins on my denim jacket. This kid on the playground was like WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, RAMBLIN ROD??? I never wore those pins ever again. But secretly I wished that I was Ramblin Rod.
Marjorie, you're not really saying "no idea" as in you have no idea who Ramblin' Rod IS, are you? Because that would really depress me. I thought everyone, even non-natives, still knew all about that show. But maybe I'm just getting old. Sigh....
The late Rod Andrus. Also a spokesperson for...Ron Tonkin? I forget.
It's too bad that the 'For Portlanders Only' blog seems to have gone away. Perhaps Samuel John Klein knows what happened there. The video archive alone was priceless.
I didn't smile. Instead, I was making a face that suggested that I was pretending to suck a dick. No, I didn't win. And no, it was not a face I made on purpose. Or maybe it was, I don't know, I was 4.
I am not surprised that all our natives remember Ramblin' Rod, but I am surprised that we all seem to have actually been on Ramblin' Rod. Me too, but my smile evidently sucks.
Signed,
38 Year-Old Native
