It was either '79 or '80 I was 4 or 5. I was staying the summer with my aunt in the thriving metropolis of Sulphur, Oklahoma. (whatcha mean ya never heard of it? and yes the town does smell like sulphur and if you don't know what that smells like kinda like rotten eggs) Anyway for some reason or another Burt Ward was signing autographs at the chicken festival, I will say it again, at the chicken festival.
So my aunt takes me to meet television's Robin. I stand in line for what seems like an hour but I am a little kid so it was probably like 5 minutes. I finally get to the front of the line and these two teenaged girls, who were working at a nearby hotdog cart, bump me aside and give Burt a plate with two hotdogs on it and a beverage of some sort. And Burt dumps the hotdogs off the plate onto the ground and says in character "Sorry ladies. I only eat Blue Jay eggs and drink cat's milk." Signs the mustard stained paper plate hands it to one of the slack jawed girls and looks directly at me and says "Next." Being 5 and owning a cat I was a little afraid to talk to the guy, I didn't want him to milk my cat.
Keep in mind this was a good twelve years or so since Batman had been off the air and Robin was still wearing his costume. The humor of which was lost on me at the time.
