12" of snow...

Well, we got dumped on once again. It's been a snowy winter so far, to be sure! Friday night and into Saturday we got a foot of snow. The good thing is that it was light, fluffy snow because it's been so damn cold! The shoveling was pretty easy though. Unfortunately, the snow, along with the wind, caused me to miss the BG/UT game because I couldn't get to Bowling Green. Luckily the game was on TV though, so I got to see an amazing game...even if it wasn't in person.

Hmmmmmmmm, what else? Went to Smokey Bones on Friday night and met a couple of other couples. I've never been one for ribs, but oh MAN, I might just be now! Delish!!

OH, and thanks to this blog, I now have a copy of the Lamar Mundane Reebok commercial from 1988!! Thanks to one of the actual actors in the commercial for hooking me up!

Informer, you know say daddy me snow me I go blam..

Hey Fella,

I was surfing the web and ran across your questions about Lamar Mundane. Yes, dude really
did exist. There is an article about him in the
Chicago Sun-Times. I'll send you the link if you're still interested. Anyway, I'd like to know if you can send me a copy of that Lamar Mundane Reebok commercial that you have on your site... That short clip brings back many a high school memory for me.

Thanks in advance,

KP

Hey fellas:

I don't know what actor from the commercial you were referring to as having porovided you a copy of "Money", but I was the writer and star of the spot. My name is Leland Hardy and you can check out a few years older version of me at www.lauderalumni.com then click "Panel Speakers."

It was great to see your love for the spot that still lives on to this very day, and I'm honored to have touched some lives positively in yet another way.

I'd love to have a digital copy of the spot that I could have for my hard drive, so please send me one if you could.

You can't imagine how many people still stop me on the street and say "Hay, aren't you the guy who did that Reebok spot?" It's the one that started the whole urban thing off, if you think about it.

I somehow lost the email you sent me, so please resend it. I have no idea how it happened.

Thanks and 1.3 mags is no problem whatsoever. I have the commercial on vhs and beta, but I never digitized it.

Thanks and let's be in touch.

Leland

That's "megs," not "mags," of course.
