BWAH!
From Wikipedia:
Daryl Hall (born Hohl) first met John Oates at the Adelphi Ballroom in Philadelphia in 1967 while attending Temple University. Each was heading his own musical group at the time—Hall with the Temptones, and Oates with the Masters. They were there for a band competition when gunfire rang out between two rival gangs, and in trying to escape, they ran to the same service elevator. Because of their similar musical tastes, they quickly became acquainted.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! Hello? Where is it AT? Sheesh.

Is Kia doing that stupid Flashdance ripoff commercial outside of Chicago?

I did not know this, and I love it. And Hall and Oates.
Huh. I've only ever known one person from Temple -- Hall and Oates, with their meet-cute-in-the-service-elevator-ducking-from-gunfire tale, are doing very nicely at keeping my personal ratio of Temple alums who are made of awesome at 100%.
Yeah, I think I'd be more disturbed if a seventh-grader was wandering by singing "Man-eater".
Fun H&O fact - "Family Man" was written by Mike Oldfield (of Tubular Bells fame). The song is sung by a woman in his version.

Nor did I and I know that I have seen interviews with them that should have mentioned this. Huh. Also share the love.

from her perspective, or just a woman's voice.
By the way, Nora? The real-life slash we discussed continues. Theirloveissopure.
Oh, and proto-Marine is a Firefly fan!
Have I mentioned my big honking love for these kids? I feel guilty -- I think I've got the nicest kids in school!
