1. Ellen Muth was in Delores Claiborne with Jennifer Jason Leigh
2. JJL was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High with Sean Penn
3. In FTARH, Sean Penn's character, Jeff Spicoli, bears a striking resemblance to Padres shortstop Khalil Greene.
4. The Padres recently played a series against the Atlanta Braves.
5. Al mentions that he gets Bugs Bunny direct from Atlanta in his song "Cable TV".

Orel Hershiser

[Orthography Enthusiast]

Okay, I know I'm cheating here, so I won't suggest a new name, but:

Orel Hershiser's brand-new car was impacted by my friend Chris's car in the Dodger Stadium parking lot many years ago (and Chris said Mr. Hershiser was very gracious about the whole thing). Chris knows me, and I've met Al.

Now somebody can do Mr. Hershiser for real.

[deep_treble]

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't count... unless you're just making it up!!

[Orthography Enthusiast]

No, I'm not making it up. Although maybe at one point Chris wished it was a tall tale.

Emeril has had Queen Latifa as a guest.
