(At least, I hope not.)<br /><br />Linda Sue: That was my goal!<br /><br />Elizabeth: Isn't it?! David Sedaris would make it much funnier, but it was one of the more bizarre moments in my life.<br /><br />Nancy: It wasn't a sight worth paying for, believe me.<br /><br />Lynne: The newspaper had a mascot for its schools page named Al E. Gator. That's who I was portraying.<br /><br />E: The alligator suit definitely made the experience, but I'm glad I didn't have to wear one this time!<br /><br />Helene: 25 years later, it's great.
