In honor of this weekend's alumni weekend, I have a special treat for you.

Now Clarissa came up with another great list I think all of us can appreciate about how you know you're a Penn student.

After the jump read her 20 points and see if you agree!

Penn alum's fantastically strange fetish for Telly Savalas

UPenn and Telly Savalas and Tom DiMenna

We first met Tom DiMenna (C'02) for this Valentine's Day love week where he sang "the red and blue" as Telly Savalas to all my DT readers.

Tom has continued milking his Telly character with a new "Telly Tips" episode he recently posted, as well as another Telly video which just landed him on the "Funny or Die" homepage yesterday.

After the jump, get sucked into the 1970s and check out how great Tom's got this character down!
