Half Time - my dad watched the band, didn't drink beer so did not need the potty break ... but none of us kids were encouraged to play the tuba!

tuba---usc marching trojans

USC -----> OJ

Sorry for that connection but you guys brought it up! The only college football halftime I got to march in (drums/cymbals) was U of MN vs USC around 1970-71, I think. OJ was playing with USC then and our band director told us to watch him because he'd be great some day. Uhhhh, Mr. Dufault, I think you need to rethink that.

And now I got to go visit the ladies' room.

You would not BELIEVE how GOOD, and I mean REALLY GOOD pickled mango tastes!!! I don't know of hardly ANYONE here that does not love it!! I SWEAR on my HER2 oath is there is such a thing! It is a dark pink....crunchy, sweet, vinagary & mixed with some other spices and it needs to be made with green mangoes!
I promise that it is just SOOOOOOOOOOOO good~!!!!

Muy Delicioso!!

TUBAMANGO! Lee, you played the Tuba in high school, didn't you? You sound like a disgruntled Tuba-player, but you're smart, though, so I'm not sure.....you played the trumpet, didn't you? And, Harriecanie, I love mango and I love pickles, so I know I'd love to eat pickled mangoes in paradise! Come on, who wouldn't?

i still say YUCK!!!!!!

Yucky Sucky....boom boom rucky!!!!

FRIED pickles.

(Did not know such a thing existed until tonight when I took my nephew to a new BBQ place where they serve a lot of alligator, among other things! I wimped out and went for the double-delicious ribs and sweet potato fries.)

Fried Dill Pickles ARE THE BEST.....I thought maybe they were a midwest thing!

fried okra

slimey....

slimey ----> SALAMANDER

CENTIPEDE!!!

Last night we came home from dinner and found a 6 inch FAT super ugly centipede in our garage!!! GROSS OUT!!!! They are tough to kill too!!

FRIED BANANAS.....

slimey----worms (double yuck)

banana slugs - yes, there is such a thing here!

banana slugs ---------> lunatic

I remember reading an article in an environmental magazine about the magnificent and threatened banana slug. I thought the author was a lunatic. You have to see one of them to know what I mean. They are like a cross between a regular slug and a school bus. They are huge.

Lunatic--------> fringe (Tom Cochrane and Red Rider)

fringe ----> bangs

bangs-------old cartoons

old cartoons--------->barnie google and snuffy smith

BETTY BOOPE

When my hair was starting to grow back it was black and curly and I was told I looked like BB!! LOL!!!

Howdy Doody.....what a geeky looking character he was, but I loved him....I was also fascinated by Little Oscar who rode around in the weiner mobile, which I just saw a month or so ago...probably going to the Joliet Speedway for Nascar

Anyone else have a weiner whistle???

Sheila! I still have my little red and yellow Oscar Mayer Weiner whistle that I got around 1959 or so. And a few years ago I met seven of the then twelve remaining Munchkins (left from the cast of about 124). Jerry Maren was the one who traveled with the Weinermobile. And I swore Howdy Doody was alive and I wanted him to be my little brother.

You and I must be sisters!!!! (Did you ever live by Savanna, IL? I went to kindergarten and first grade there.)
