well let's get this started again - does anybody remember when koma in the late 60's had the high low game - they had a certain amount of money to win - you called in and guessed an amount and they would tell you if you were higher or lower than the actual amount - listeners would keep narrowing it down until somebody won - i called in when it was $69.69 in 1969 and won - that was a big deal at 13 years old

Went outside with Mom and we looked up at the moon, it was a little sliver in the west - she scrunched up her eyebrows and asked "Why didn't they wait until it was a full moon? - it'd be a lot bigger and easier to land on!"

How many remember seeing Sputnik the first time it was visible? It was responsible for putting the US on the moon.

For years people were afraid we would fall to the commies.

We have! The dot-com-ies.....

I give up. What is it?

[Redskins/General]

I give up. What is it?

"Stormy Weather" by The Five Sharps made in 1952. It's on a 78 speed record which is broken but still plays and is the only copy in existence!!! WOW! Are you impressed.... I actually have a copy of it, and the song stinks....

I don't have time to read this whole thing, but I miss Molly Murphy's. Also, I remember that bridge over Western that high school students used to paint over every year. When they tore it down, a friend of mine got a sort of "rock" off the wall with layers and layers of different colored paints on it...quite pretty

Is your friend Randy? You can still buy some of his jewelry and small items made from those chunks of layered paint at the Route 66 Gift Shop in 50 Penn Place. Fine looking stuff.

Ned's pizza was the best. We had to wrap napkins around our wrists to keep the grease from running down our arms..... didn't know any better then. It was great pizza

Wasn't the bridge saved and moved? I'm thinking it was.

Unfortunately, no - it was demolished in the 80's I believe.
I got some earrings made from some of the painted concrete.

I hung upside down from the top of that bridge more than once on a post-game Friday night. Did some painting, too.

Greg Burns, the OKC artist, does some great work with OKC landmarks. I have prints of the milk bottle, the twisted barn on the way to Edmond, and the original facade of McGuinness High. He has prints of the bridge, too.

================================================== ============
WKY had a game that they added your telephone numbers together and if you were the first to call in with those totals, you won a free movie pass for two.
I won it one time and got two tickets to see a movie downtown...Took the Village Idiot.....but, in about an hour later WKY announced another set of numbers and I called and told them I was the kid across the street and won another set of tickets to see Ben Hur......Didn't try again ... thought the FEDS would come after me.....
