HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING,

SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD.

WELL. YOU'LL LOVE THIS
ONE. MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN

THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST I NOTICED

HIS DDS DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.

SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME

NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE

THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN? UPON SEEING

HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.

THIS BALDING,
GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD

TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE

HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL.

"YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG," HE GLEAMED WITH
PRIDE.

"WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?" I ASKED.

HE ANSWERED, "IN 1966. WHY DO YOU ASK?"

"YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!" I EXCLAIMED.

HE LOOKED AT ME
CLOSELY.

THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT ASS, GRAY-HAIRED, DECREPIT

SON-OF-A-BITCH ASKED,


"WHAT DID YOU TEACH???"

Thelonius Rat and Lightnin' Smoothie,
what are your day time schedules this week?

JJ Grey said...

This band, JJ Grey and Mofro, are playing Harvest Thurs and Fri...Dish will be there Thursday and so will our old colleague No Show Evil - who is actually their Harvest host! Think Pebbles and Turbo will also see them Friday night.

This is a hilarious - and slightly raunchy (that got your attention didn't it?) video of their last single "On Fire"...there's still 67 tickets left to Thursday but Friday is sold out. Click on JJ Grey said above...

Mel said...

I commute to Oromocto on Tuesday, leaving around 11:00. Wednesday and Friday, leaving at 7:30. Returning from Oromocto to F'ton at 5:00 each day. Join in!

No Doubt said...

2006 Giant TCR Composite 0 XL(58.5cm)road bike for sale. Check out my posting on Kijiji (click No Doubt)

Turbo said...

No doubt? finally give up the cycling!

Jazz said...

Smoothie, if weather holds and I don't get pulled into some crisis, I'm planning to be there. Where is the "meeting place"? Ramada/Irving?

Herc said...

I realize the route is a surprise, but in case I am late can you tell me the general direction the team is heading. I have client at 4:30 should be out by 5 but you never know

Herc said...

I'll be on time

Bubbles said...

No Doubt,

Did you consider putting your sneakers on Kijiji too?

No Doubt said...

Not giving up cycling, just trying to raise funds for a new steed in the spring. I was just replacing the cables and bar tape, etc. tonight. I think it's the nicest it's looked since the day I bought it.

Bubbles, you're gonna pay for that.

Turbo said...

Bubbles your OSB Queenship is in jepordy. Herc is making a strong run. With her perfect attendance of late.

Turbo said...

Well that was a totally different ride. Never thought there would be as many crazy souls up for the challenge. Rat, Jamey S, Pebbles, Zorro, Smoothie, Donut, Herc and Turbo. Appreciate all the grunt power. Should give us the Mental Advantage for future climbs.

Herc said...

That was so great. I loved that ride, what a challenge. Don't worry Bubbles I have a long way to go to catch you.

Mel said...

I don't know about the rest of you but my legs were spinning kind of easy going home over the bridge and up Douglas.
Tomorrow's commute starts from my office at 235 Main at 11:00 a.m.

Bubbles said...

Herc, you go girl!!! But take care of the injury.

Herc said...

Injury is coming along, see you Wed a.m for a run?

rat said...

Hey Smoothy,

I can make the commute as lonf as there is no rain. See you at McLeans for 0735.

Mel said...

Rat:
I'll be there at 7:35

Cookie said...

We may have to change Rat's name to Sugar. He sure doesn't seem to like the rain. :)

rat said...

Hey Cookie,

That would be Suga'. And by the way, I was biking yesterday and it rained while I was out, sorta. I think there may have been a threat of rain and went out anyway and was hit by many drops, possibly as many as 100. I was getting nervous so rode harder to out run the clouds.

Donut said...

Thanks Zorro and Yurgen, nice ride tonight.

Turbo said...

I plan to go out friday @ 3pm, have HJ&B plans for tonight. If anyone intersted let me know.

Rat said...

Hey Turbo,

I work until 3 then plan to go to get ready for a ride from home. I may not be ready to go until about 3:45 allowing for travelling and dressing. If you rode over to my place we could leave from there and ride the nicely and newly paved road out to Whittaker and in to the Lincoln and meander back home from there,providing.........and this is for Cookie.........it isn't raining.
Blog if this seems reasonable and perhaps I will call your home about 2:55 to let you know my situation viz-a-vis getting away on time.

Turbo said...

Rat call me 447-7701 tad before 3 for an update and meeting time

Herc said...

I am heading out at 5:30,hope I won't be alone

Pebbles said...

Who's riding Saturday morning? I am interested in heading out at 9am if anyone interested.

Jazz said...

Saw some OSB'ers out drinking in the fest last night...Dish was definitely funkified! And Rocket and Suds are out and having a grand time. Cookie was seen wandering aimlessly on Queen Street asking passersby "could you loan me money for beer?", No Show is super-host to JJ Grey and Zorro is working hard putting all the infratructure together. Then again, I'm kinda hoping Donut wasn't around the Bob Marley Tribute last night....ha!

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves! Dress warm today.

Bubbles said...

I was just talking to Cookie... I don't think he would be askihg passerby's for beer money today!!!!

turbo said...

going out for a spin today Sunday @2pm blog for call if interested

herc said...

Hi Turbo, I am just getting home and I would love to go. It's 1:53, what is your plan?

Herc said...

Bubbles, why don't you come?

turbo said...

Sorry ladies, I left 1:30 to spin by SS for 2pm, just incase. It was a lonely without you :-)
However I did find a newer route for monday night.
NOTE TO ALL: WILL EARLY UP RIDE TO 5:15 DEPARTURE. ARE MOST OK WITH THAT. Daylight fading!

Herc said...

no problem Turbo. I went up to mactquac and back from home and had a lonely birthday ride. It was a great day though. Ok for tomorrow, I will do my best to get there for 5:15

Donut said...

Time sounds good to me, gonna do my best to be there, have training all day but should be able to make it.
