I suppose you're all wondering about <a href="http://leviathan.tamu.edu/dac/rburns/overton/overton.html">the Overton Center</a>; even more important, how could you resist our <a href="http://leviathan.tamu.edu/dac/rburns/overton/htmsub/petunias.html"> BEDDING PLANT TRIALS</a>?<br>
and you'll be happy to know about my <a href="http://www.eastnc.coastalnet.com/overtons/ov_main.htm">Overton's Price Protection Policy</a>, next time you buy one of us you won't have to worry about getting ripped off.<br>
or maybe you'd like to know more about the 
a href="http://www.nashville.com/member/awesome.html">
The Awesome Overton Band</a>.  Shows all the football games we're playing at!  Look, <a href="http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/squonk/history.html">Gene</a> went to school there and now he's at <a href="http://www.mit.edu:8001/">MIT</a>.  Wonder if he was in the band?<br>


But for the record, I'm not related to any of these respectable Overtons:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~coverton/home.html">
Chris Overton</A>
<li><a href="http://cs.nyu.edu/cs/faculty/overton/">Professor Michael L. Overton</a>
<li><a href="http://www.polarnet.fnsb.ak.us/Users/LOverton/">Souter & Overton</a> (even though they're in Alaska, the coolest place on earth).
<li><a href="http://cs-www.uchicago.edu/~overton/">John Overton</a>, but I do feel a strange kinship and intuitive empathy for his research on  non-propositional language models, focusing on coherence in religious language, emphasizing deictic, (social-) indexical, and semiotic textual structure.
<li>Not related to <a href="http://cns-web.bu.edu/pub/dorman/McLean_vs_Arkansas.html">Judge William R. Overton</a>
<LI>I've never been to the <a href="http://www.med.lsumc.edu/vamc/">Overton Brooks VA Medical Center</a>
<li> I have no idea who the Overton was who wrote <a href="http://chaos.pc.cc.cmu.edu/~ftp/pub/holmes/return/missing.three-quarter.txt">this little bit</a> about the missing three-quarter</a>
<li>I hope I'm not related to <a href="http://www.wp.com/ROXANNE/">ROXANNE</a> Overton.
<li>And I'm not even the Dead City Radio guitarist <a href="http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/sdam/artists/dcr/">Ken Overton</a>.  I don't kive in San Diego, thank you very much.
<li>I'm not related to <a href="http://www.aloha.net/~mt.lai/travel.html">the Virtual Travel Agent</a>
<li>I'm not cool enough to be related to <a href="http://www.two1361.com/people/overton.html">R.K. Overton</a> (he gets to draw on henry rollins back, he's so cool.  ooo maybe he gets to lick the sweat off...)
<li>I don't like the sound of <a href="http://wmi.cais.com/bassfish/mead228.htm">Overton Beach</a>
<li> nor do I like the ominousity (a new word) of the phrase, <a href="http://wmi.cais.com/bassfish/mead5_17.htm">" I wanted a chance
to fish dirty water so we made the drive to the Overton Arm."</a>
<li>or the fact that there's a <a href="http://www.physics.fsu.edu/~lwv/PublicOfficials/courts.htm">Benjamin F. Overton</a> on the Florica Supreme Court. (Enough with the judges, already)
<li>although it's entirely possible that this <a href="http://ageninfo.tamu.edu/~overton/">Brandon Overton</a> is my cousin.  Last time I saw him he was probobly 9 years old.  Creeeeepy.
<li>I have an uncle named <a href="http://geog.tamu.edu/images/dan.gif">Dan Overton</a>.  That picture doesn't look a bit like him.
<li>If I'm related to <a href="http://www.whidbey.net/~stargunj/coverton/coverton.html">Christi Overton</a> she and I will have to have a little talk about gothic representations of oversized poodles (I personally can't abide them.)
<li><a href="http://www.well.com/woodstock/scrapbook/c72.html">Heremiah Overton</a> is described as a net junkie, but does he have a real home page?  None visible to the rest of the net.  No kin of mine, I tell you.
<li><a href="http://www.internetweb.co.uk/WEBPAGES/rest/re177.htm">These Overton's</a> are in the UK.  We go way back.  Way way back.  Further than I'm aware of, certainly.
<li>I'm sure you're dying to see this profile on <a href="gopher://tourism.tdoc.texas.gov:70/00/commprof/COMPROF54432401.TXT">Overton, TX</a>
<li>i'm not related to THIS <a href="http://www.oclc.org/VoteSmart/pvs/cnip0763.int.html">Steven Overton</a>.  Maybe another one ...
