World of Weird Al Yankovic

Hey folks, Just joined the forum. ( I B newbie).

Wanted to mention that I, personally met Weird Al when he was in Tulsa Oklahoma filming UHF. I worked at the store he used for the Spatula City commercial in the movie. I even got to shake his hand. I haven't washed it since. (Though it is now black and numb and stinks real bad

). My boss got free movie passes for UHF when it opened and I got to go. (I lost in the store's drawing).

Yes it was fun. I was also "in" the movie. (You can't see me though) I was part of the mob of people running into the store. The thing I remember most about this whole thing was that I got paid to NOT work! (not that this was the first or the last time I had done that!)

Our company president Mr. Clint Cox had his picture taken with Al and had it hanging in the lobby of the corperate office.
