Are there any times you've felt embarrassed because you're well known as a Weird Al fan, but you lacked the knowledge of a fundamental fact? Someone else knew something that you didn't?

Yeah... I posted something and then, I was told the reason why just because I am really ignorant.

I totally missed the Sumo/Grape reference in the Rock Hall topic. I'm not sure I totally get it at this point, but I do vaguely remember something about Sumos and Grapes on the Secret File from RWS.

Oh, and another duh :huh: moment? When I saw Al last summer, I had him sign September in the Alendar. For his... birthday. :S Luckily, I didn't tell him that, so he didn't think I was totally ignorant. I now just pretend that it's because met him the first time in Sept.

The sumo/grape thing is from There's No Going Home. Al orders room service, and one of his requests is for a sumo wrestler who sings show tunes while shooting grapes out of his belly button. :lol: I just love watching the guys catching grapes in their mouths.

Well, the misheard lyrics come to mind for me. On the song "Isle Thing", there is a line that I was WAY off on. This is so embarassing

The real line: "I saw her eyes, she was hypnotized, cold-glued to her tv"

What it sounded like to me: "I saw her eyes, she was hypnotized, cold Buddha Hercules" :huh:

:lol: :S

And I would sing it that way out loud! Thankfully, no one ever heard me.

Lots of people know lots of stuff that I don't *shrugs shoulders* It would be impossible to know everything, wouldn't it? :)
