Yeah, Let's Bowl started here about 4 (?) years ago, they used to do a lot
of episodes from the Stahl House on Rice Street in St. Paul. (By the way,
this might be a good location for a beermeeting). Rich (Wally) is a local
guy, he used to do this outrageous character named Dr. Sphyncter, who was
the ultimate anal-retentive human. You'd see him on KTCA. He did a bit
called 'Tightline' that was pretty funny too.
In about 1989 I was at a new year's party in NE Mpls, and Rich showed up.
I most of the evening chatting with him, which was strange because he was
in character on and off. After the party, we were both pretty lit up, and
he basically did a pratfall out the front door, nearly taking the door off
of it's hinges. I about died laughing.
That's my Rich story. You heard it here.
