Here is a new trivia question for your potential enjoyment: Give an example where Christmas is mentioned in a TAGS episode OTHER than in the Christmas episode.

Alumni Sighting
Here is a bit of an unusual alumni siting...I live in Lincoln, home of the University Nebraska. I just ran across an archive photo with Jim Nabors and former Nebraska football Coach Bob Devaney. Devaney coached from 1962-71, so I'm assuming the photo was during that period, and likely the early 70's based on the fashions and Jim's hair. The photo was published as part of a story on Nebraska's former Sports Information Director Don Fox Bryant who just died last week. Fox knew everybody in the world, it seems, so I suspect he somehow knew someone who knew Jim Nabors and Jim ended up visiting the university...possibly he was doing a concert at our state fair or somewhere else in Nebraska.
