As I have stated here previously, I really hate cocktail party smalltalk that starts with "What do you do?" I always ignore it and move on to something else. One question I like to ask is, "Who is the most famous person to attend your high school?"

The last guy I asked attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico. His answer was Roger Staubach or some female porn star (Jessica Jaymes, I looked it up). I think Conrad Hilton is more famous than either of them though.

Gordon doesn't really have famous people. Maybe Santiago Durango, Gregg Bingham, or that guy who started BRGR Belly.

Who is your most famous person?

Only in Chicago.

Anyway, doesn't Jay Cutler's wife trump them both?

If you need research help Wikipedia usually lists the notable people under the school's page.

She only went there for a year then bopped off to California.

I went to a party in college where I was stuck in a conversation with a girl who bragged about her sister being Mandy Patankin's personal assistant. I didn't even know who he was at the time, which I think deflated her. Bringing up Mandy Patankin to a college kid would be like bringing up Paul Anka or Lawrence Welk. I think he has had a few more noticeable roles since that conversation.

Niles Township is the leader in arch criminals. They have that Jeffrey Erickson guy who robbed all those banks and then killed the U.S. Marshall (Luke Perry played him in the movie), my former business partner who shot that guy in front of his family while they were watching Bowfinger, Lee Robin who hacked up his wife and baby in a bathtub, a kid named Ninos who did a little work for me and seemed like a nice kid but then shot a guy in a drive-by, and now this Jelly Belly guy who ran the college scam.

I have no idea. Dennis will respond.

Audra Martin was my graduating class. She currently is the 'Kelly Crull' of the Twins.

She once single-handedly completed an annoying project for our 4-person group freshman year. Thanks Audra.
