Message:As for the recent and uniquely irritating suggestions that I might also be employing the altogether tedious monikers of Leroy, Royal, or any other weary doppelganger cyberids, suffice it to say that I am to my discredit far too egotistical to permit something I have seen fit to write stand at this or any other website with an attribution of any name other than my true given one. While I am on the subject of identity, however, have I ever told you about the time I discovered that Ted's felt it necessary to claim that he had never even heard of Mario Estolano? Ah, but that involved, convoluted, and altogether engrossing tale is for another day... Gioia to his credit is also correct in asserting that I have never been near a Beulah, nor for that matter any woman whose cognomen we might more likely attribute to a demimonde than a debutante. Which somehow brings to mind a slogan, not just for this website but for many: Cougartown dotcom--You can't blame the flame if the moth flies too close. --joseph et al. :
OK.... ready, set, everyone to your F&W's. The first one back with the answer to whatever the hell Joe just said gets a free T-shirt.

However, I know for a fact that Joe has never been involved with any woman named Beulah. And he has always preferred modern jazz and opera, to bluegrass music. Hmmm, I share Sharon's suspicions about these other dubious names -- Royal Lord, Robin Hood, Jack Hammer. THOSE CAN'T BE FOR REAL!!! Their postings must all be part of a big conspiracy.
Ted, There's no "Deep Throat" conspiracy with the first two. I can personally lay witness to those two. Now Jack Hammer......I'm not so sure.
I think there was a John (Jack) Daniels in there somewhere too, and how about Ty Dye.

Ok, Mr. King, I know you will say hers was better, but, tell me anyway how they compared. And, Robin, like Sloey, you can bit** and complain, but the Royal Baker can't send anything to anyone without an address. For some reason I haven't figured out how to send baked goods through the e-mail configuration.
Hi Myrna "darlin", Mom B's cake was made with real mayo, and she frosted hers, and yes, she doubled the cocoa. As far as the cake was concerned, the only difference was that yours was more "brownie like". I don't know why, but probably from the difference in mayo?? Hey, I enjoyed them both and which ever way you make it, it's fantastic.

Message: Dear John:
Just got back from several days of business in Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico. It took hours of reading to catch up and realize their is a T-Shirt design needed with my name on it. My first question is out of the two million slogans submitted who's going to pick the winner? The right graphic design is actually second to selecting the right slogan. Right? Anyway, I am game to design the shirts and help get them printed thru whoever you choose. It would be an honor since I did T-shirts on HHS campus starting in 1959. Is someone putting together a list of final choices for a slogan? There were many good ideas already. Let me know how I can help. And it is good to see some more 1960's join in. I did speak with Richard Little but haven't seen a message from him yet. He is a Chief of Police in a small Nebraska town. Anybody know what heppened to Jerry and Dennis Parket '60 & '61?
Let me know about the shirt design.
Alan Hauge
Hi Alan, Ricki V has initiated that task. It would be an honor for Cougartown to have shirts designed by our 2 main early 60's artists. I'll pick about 10 or 12 from the one's mentioned, and we'll vote on the those, paring them to the top 3 or 4. Ricki, you and Alan can get together on the designs, or do separate themes. It doesn't matter, as you two are the designers. I'll give this slogan thing about another week, then we'll pick. Ricki's email address is farrell8@worldnet.att.net . Thanks Alan for getting involved. I'm sure you two will do us all proud. Be a Coug......

So I got a funny story, ok I say it is funny but it isn't about Robin it is about someone else but I am changing it to Robin just because of a lot of things and one of which is I am still upset about Robin picking on me today, hey if you get a call tonight at 3 Robin it is I! Anyway Robin and Gary Mykannen are at the Colorado River having a great time. They are what you may call biding in some rather strong libations. They nearly run over three or four skiers (now this is true except for Robin) when the shore patrol pulls them in. Robin tells Gary make up a name they will never know. Gary nods. What is your name they ask Robin. "Clyde Flopermeister." our Prince states in his best slur. Address. 1430 clydes drive, fountain Valley california. The officer is writing it down. Next he asks Gary and What is your name buddy. "Robin Hood. 4563 West 134th Street Hawthorne, California." They both received tickets but they are still looking for Mr. Flopermeister.

We only split the party between houses so the kids could swim while we conducted opening ceremonies by whipping up (and slugging down) about 4 pitchers of (KILLER) margaritas. Next time, I say, to heck with the BBQ, let's just have the margs and horses ovaries... kinda like a wine tasting but we'll just sample all the different tequilas... Besides, anyone with energy enough to expend on TPing an unsuspecting hosts' home (from the INSIDE no less) obviously didn't drink enough tequila... next time it's shooters, or OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!
