I'm guessing it's this one (the one I, and everyone else had, in college):

https://www.movieposter.com/posters/...n/37/MPW-18690



There was another one featuring Dave with a cigarette behind his ear that was pretty popular back then as well, but the above I think was the one the majority of people had. I had a huge lifesize one in my room.

I see, didn't go to college, probably would've had that poster though

I guess the guy who wrote the list isn't a true fan. A true fan would've ended the list with #34.

[dmbfan4ever]

ya'll smell good this evening is a specific reference to Listener. Yeah he may say it a lot and a version of it at other shows, but it's clearly about Listener. If you didn't know that, YOU ARE NOT A FAN!!
