Boris Karloff! Cool!! You think maybe you got his re-incarnated soul? Could explain the penchant for horror movies....

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well, I was born to the minute that he died! :D

New Orleans and Yellow Cab were founded on my birthday---and it was the day Katrina landed in Miami-Dade/Broward County.
Odd too that elvis Costello was born the same day and later penned a song about an Alison.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Costello, so-and-so, and So-and-So. If I had a dollar for everytime a guy used the line "My aim is true" on my and then ended up breaking my heart I'ld be able to afford to pay Elvis never to sing that song in concert again :D

Shipbuilding--with Chet Baker's last trumpet performance is my current favorite.

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

"My aim is true"
