| Author's Orbit gum addiction tell-all |
I tried to mimic his movements on my second go-'round, but one observer told me I "didn't have the nose for it", whatever that means. The next few turns, the cookie always went to one side of my face, like the Plinko chip that always went to the $0 space. If this indeed was The Price is Right, you would not see me and my crazy get-up in the Showcase Showdown, but I would have reached into Brother Ray's pocket to see if he had any money.

-Have you ever surprised someone with a feat of strength or intelligence?: I was Valedictorian in both high school and college. I think I surprised everyone. They didn't think I was that smart.
-And you've surprised people by the women you've been with?: I've been surrounded by women my whole life. I have 2 sisters, 3 daughters, and 1 grand daughter. One night, all of us and my wife and my niece were all out at a restaurant. They were all dressed up and looking real nice. This guy comes up to me as we're walking out and says, "How'd you get all those women, dude?" I think they were flattered in some weird way.
-But you not only studied hard, you partied hard, too?: Yeah, I got to be class President during my senior year at college for six weeks. The President I replaced knew he wasn't going to graduate because he flunked his classes.
I was the social chair of my fraternity and had this pot of money. And we took that money and partied all over Ohio for an entire week. We'd go to bars and it was free everything. It probably the best week. We all stumbled to get our diplomas.
