And here in the interwebs, Ken, you are an award winning king. <br /><br />Believe it or not, your place in history is assured.

It's a name that, once heard, can never be forgotten. I knew a Thai girl at that time, and impressed her the day after the pageant by being able to pronounce the winner's name.<br /><br />I don't know how old Annie is, but perhaps Ken and the Mrs. were considering baby names in '88, saw the pageant and discovered comedy gold.jbryantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-67951481985959600992011-12-11T09:02:04.120-08:002011-12-11T09:02:04.120-08:00And who could forget:
