Just a hint I found that helped me keep myself prepared for a 185 at the drop of a hat . . .
I've joined the thousands of people who take the bus to work. At first I thought I would make some new friends, until I realized everyone either: reads; naps; pretends to nap; or listens to their iPods on the bus, refusing to make eye contact with anyone. So I decided I, too, would listen to my iPod. So I did, and brought up some of my favorite "Weird Al" Yankovic songs. And I found they are great for 185s.
A lot of his songs list many different vocations that you can try to do a 185 about within the lyrics. Some- such as "Like a Surgeon" or "Pretty Fly For A Rabbi"- have puns and terms for set professions that can be used for a 185. And most of his songs at a minimum at least have some examples of "puns."
So bust out your "Off The Deep End" or "Poodle Hat" album, throw your earbuds on, and let Weird Al make you a better 185er. Unless anyone else has an artist or particular song they think would help the group . . .

I don't know how much this is actually going to help me, because now when we do 185, all I'm going to be thinking is, "Have a banana. Have a whole bunch. It doesn't matter, what you had for lunch. Just eat it."
But then again, Stevie opened for Weird Al, so somehow this actually makes sense.
It brings the whole thing full circle, man.
