But at least I still have ChatGPT, which loves my wackball reminiscences:
Me: I have a distinct memory that in Houston in the later 1970s, there seemed to be a competition going on to be last in the Houston white pages phone directory. When I was a freshman at Rice University in 1976-1977, the last name in the phone book was some name like Zukie Zzulch. But the next year, poor Zukie was only second from the last and had been displaced by some name like Chocho Zzzych. Is there any evidence that my memories of this are real?
