...and they said it wouldn't last...
~~~
Last year it coincided with the 40th anniversary of Woodstock.
This time we all have a week to recover.

I'll be late.

I contacted the Beacon, to see if they would come on Aug 21, so far no luck. However, if some of you have pictures you would send me I will take them to the Beacon. He will do a write up on us for the paper. If you have any pictures send me a private message and I will take them by there. Tried to send you all a private message but could not

Great idea!!! I'll dig through my pics.... I know I have a couple. (Sorry, my INBOX was full, I've since emptied it.)

Everyone is
REQUIRED this next as it is the 2nd Anniversary of the Nostalgia meeting...
Yessir.

Remember there is a 2nd anniversary meeting at coit's on august 21st....we need as much support as possible. Trying to get the beacon and possibly lackmeyer could get us a little plug.....he is an official member of the meeting club even though he is not a southsider....

I understand that the Beacon is not showing much interest....

I've seen two copies in my life and both were this year. That's
because two people I know were in them. I never knew the
paper existed until you told me about it.

every other week I buy two. the past week and the current. get mine at the Coney Island

papaOU, that action makes you a super southsider.

Bring your pictures on the 21st and I will write an article for the Beacon. They told me they would print it. I tried to get them to come out and take pictures, but they didn't seem to interested.

I'll bring a camera ... and a Russian switchblade ... and a 1976 Okc semi-centennial medallion ... and maybe some books. If you can't get the Beacon's editor/owner to attend and make a news story ... well ... what's the Beacon coming to?

OOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo... AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Doug, shouldn't the semi-centennial coin be from 1957? Did
you get yours from Manny? Did he take it from the trunk of
his '75 Chevy Caprice on 5th and Walker? You paid too much
and they were minted in an alley in Las Vegas. I know. I
owed Manny a favor. Weren't you our lawy... oh, that's how
you got it... never mind...

I have no idea about the Beacon except that it's an old paper
that uses bad grammar and can't spell 50 cent words. In fact
it misspells 25 cent words. It even misspelled Soonergirl26's
name and it's only 3 letters. Good grief!

Wait! It has two editions that contains photos of two of my
favorite people in the whole wide world! Other than that...
you can have it...

Gen64, it's not your photo. You don't look good in a dress.
Not even that periwinkle one you wore to... the shoes and
handbag matched, though...

Alright, I'm bringing some '78 LP's to this meeting....Bill Monroe of course....how about Wiley and Gene????

Alright, I'm bringing some '78 LP's to this meeting... Bill Monroe of

Let's see... LP... LP... OH, LP! Got it! Natural gas, right? That's
78 psi. I have no idea what this has to do with nostalgia. Oh,
I forgot. You're really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really old.

What was it like before dirt?

We understand Old Timers disease. If only it was something
besides natural gas. OHHHHHHHHHH! That natural gas.
puh-LEEEZ don't bring it to Coits. Some of us will be eating.

Remember, I've ridden in the truck with you and was happy to
keep the window open when it was over 100 outside! I was
very happy! Because I was breathing!

We might have a bunch of new Spartans there this Saturday. There are people that are jealous of all the fun we've been having and all the memories we've been stirring up!!! You know that old song by The Temptations...... "Get Ready, Cause Here We Come"!!!!!

And Gens64 you had better be there.... haven't seen you in way too long!!! :)

I'll bring my camera..... we'll take a picture and submit it with the article you write!!!! See you Saturday!!

Prunette said I can bring some of our fresh canned bread & butter
pickles, that Gen64 is paying $100 a jar for, and some salsa. Yes,
I'll bring a bag of chips, too. After all, it's our 2nd anniversary.

Don't forget, I'll be glad to check the grammar and spelling. The
Beacon isn't very good at that. I think it's a pop culture thing.
It may be a spell check thing, too. At any rate, I'll be glad to
help.

Instead of opening a variety store (TG&Y) we should buy the Beacon.

I would just like to buy their archives!! Sure wish they had their old newspapers online.... that would be great. Mr. Beacon (aka David Sellers) told me that they are on microfiche somewhere.... I forgot where he said though. Public Library? Historical Society?

probably in the back room of the Yale....

I had to leave early, Generals64. Did you make it?

Hey dude:....you left just a few minutes before I got there....boy, there was a turnout......this has been quite fun...

... fiche...
~~~
Fish? Somebody said fish! When do we go?

I had to leave early, Generals64. Did you make it?
Some said I just missed you. Too sad. You're a wealth of
information and a joy to listen to.

I brought some inedible salsa and pickles. Just wanted to unload
them on the unsuspecting.

The best part was visiting with Tall Girl and Soonergirl26. Yeah,
the others were okay... Hahahahaha!

Okay, Gen64, Frisky and non member Phil and I sat and visited
for a LONG time and weren't interupted by the woman folk. Not
that we don't love our woman folk. But 4 guys having the
opportunity to talk and be heard was very stimulating.

I did notice though that after a while you left those guys and came and sat down with us women folk!! I know you were afraid that you were going to miss something!!!

Prune & Bob, talk about guy stuff all you want ... but did SoonerGirl26 buy you a hot dog? And a tasty frosty root beer? Huh? I'm good with being a kept man boy.

Doug.... you know those 2 guys showed up late... they snooze... they lose!! Hahaha!!!

Okay, I have a great explanation for that... Give me a week or
so and I'll tell you all about it, providing that's enough time.

Well, one thing is that you dames smell a whole lot better.
Maybe another reason is that it's more fun to 'bump' into you
soft and cushy women folk than guys. You're purtier, too, and
make a lot more sense, you're smarter, more fun, talk in complete
sentences, don't grunt and certainly DON'T excrete noxious body
odors or weird and unexplainable sounds. There might be one
or two other reasons but you won't understand. After all
you're just a woman.

I'll try to come down to you woman folks level. We really do
like being around you. At least I do. In fact, if the men never
ever showed up...

Okay Prunette, whatever you say! You want me to write WHAT?
Yes ma'am, Soonergirl26 and that little June girl are awesome and
gorgeous, OUCH, mediocre and cute... OWWW, don't get me started
on my incredibly lovely Tall Girl friend, SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP I mean
my somewhat almost close friend... Dang I'm losing this...

Gen64... HELP! Anyone!

Hey Southside Girl...... we all (including Gens64) looked at your write-up for the Beacon and thought it looked okay with these minor changes... GREAT JOB and thanks for doing that!!!!

Prune & Bob, talk about guy stuff all you want ... but did
SoonerGirl26 buy you a hot dog? And a tasty frosty root beer?
Huh? I'm good with being a kept man boy.
WHAT? Soonergirl26 bought you a hotdog and a rootbeer?
She told me she was flat broke.

I'm sooooooo despondent. Call me a loser. I thought
Soonergirl26 was my friend... I'm going to go to bed
and cry and think about my CHHS friends. Maybe Tall Girl
will be faithful.

Soonergirl26 really bought you a hotdod and rootbeer?

I don't want to hear about it.

She really did?

I don't want to know.

Tall Girl! Help me!

I told her that I was homeless and needed a handout.

Maybe Tall Girl will be faithful.
Probably not. I loaned her my 3-volume set of Vanished Splendor which I brought to the show-and-tell meeting and enjoyed her splendid company at the meeting.

You're history, Prune. :bedtime: Northsiders have moved into your turf.

Of course ... I'm just kidding.

Well, thanks Doug, You and Brand kept me splendidly entertained. I had the best seat in the house.

A few words for you. Bill Tilghman, Cromwell, OK - Found it in Prune's Route 66 book. He didn't offer to let me borrow HIS book.

Of course, Cromwell.

ooooops. Wanna borrow it? If so I'll have a contract written
up and of course there'll be a deposit. How much was Doug's
deposit? I'll meet it if mine is higher. How many pages was
the contract?

He has everything but my social security number.

I will try to get it to them this week.

Yes it is. There are seven days in a week and Saturday is one of them.

All right you guys...get your laughing box out and get it over.....Last Saturday my son asked if I would come and "Help" him trim a tree....Sure, I'll just do it for you....Chain Saw in hand I cut the limb and the ladder "Folded" up with me and I went for a 10 foot drop with Chainsaw running in my hand. I did however throw the Saw and took the "Thud"....You know, "Fat man down".....No breath and seemed to have lost my intelligence. Everyone came running, they felt the ground shake...Are you hurt?....Nah, just can't breathe.....My wife says "Get Up", you'll feel better...still have no breath in my body....finally came around and other than a "BUNCH" of bruises and soreness I walked away....."Cowboy Up"........That's real funny PapaOU, Carltonskeeper...Now for the ending of the story....Monday I was cleaning up around the house "Hobbling" through out and decided to straighten an Elk head mount in the living room.....(wife said to stay away from ladders)....Climbed to the top (stupid) and you're right, the head fell and took me to the ground (12 feet this time) and I went for the count. Finally came to ....could NOT move..scared me quite a bit......but finally, I could move my right hand and I got my cell phone out and called 911....Told the operator I had fallen and couldn't get up...she began to laugh and then I started to laugh and Cry at the same time.....Then I responded to I've dropped my beer and can't get up...she asked if I was for real...and I said yes....You can't imagine the feeling of 7 or 8 firemen trying to help you (Thanks Moore fire dept.)...finally the ambulance and I gues the rest of the Circus showed up later....any way once again "Fat man down".....Hospital...Trauma Center...pretty nurses,,,scissors....Whoa...what are those for?...they cut my clothes off...Socks, shirt Levi's and other articles of clothing...Glad they were clean.....Finally began to get feeling back in my body.....big bruises Everywhere....Very sore kidney and Ribs..Broken thumb but....thought I had been in a Grant Capitol Hill fight and I was the only one there.....Necks Braces suck.....and they even embarass me to myself....

What a site to see........Glad your ok.......

so what form of opiate are you brining us this time?

so what form of opiate are you brining us this time?

None....they said I needed to sty conscious...then my wife told them what I already had for Kidney Stones....This hurt like Crazy but, the paralyzed bit was VERY Scary. I have a complete different outlook to those that are paralyzed. You tell your body to move and your body says not today....I must have been very blessed. Embarassment for the Neck collar is bad and everyone laughing at you...but a wheelchair would be tough....

OMG!!!!! When you do it, you do it up good!!!!! Glad you're okay.... it could have been worse!! Next time just leave that Elk head a little crooked, it really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. I have a friend who last spring climbed on her kitchen island to get a cobweb off the pot rack, fell and has been suffering ever since. She's decided that cobwebs can just stay from now on.

~~~

Now, that's my kinda girl.....You never think about it. But, you need your thumb to do a lot of things and mines broken and they didn't put it in a cast...Aw, you'll make it....Thanks Doc....Elk head is still laying on the ground. I sic my dog on it every now and then......
