Harvard University (Cambridge, Mass.) roommates!!! Woo hoo, who wudda thunk it?! Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were roomies at Harvard!

No kidding, huh? Must have been freshman - you know when your roomies are picked for you.

Nice job, Kitty!

Here's the current score:

Chris 7
Kitty 9

About Frosh roomies, my parents were SO proud that I got into this little, Presbyterian college with such a great academic record.

I arrived all 18 and rarin' for freedom! Went to my dorm (Bellingrath) and found my new "home". As I started to unpack, my new "roomie" appeared with boyfriend in tow.

"Hi", she said, "I am moving into Ben's room"(indicating the young man with her). "Do you want his roommate to bunk with you?" WHAT THE #*(%&_#*$!!!! LOL, my Mom would have Freaked.......
