Plain loved the Tacks evasion and the reference to Doughnuts from the Glazed eyes, was as good as Tonto ,Glad I wasn't sipping my coke.
I need a vacation. Hi Plain, VODKADAY postponement. Got a birthday party in Philly town tomorrow.
OK. Funny stories come on Plain, gotta do this when we have about ten years to talk.
I was doing landscaping back in the 70's, nobody wanted to do this work, and it is Good Friday. I have a bunch of Jockeys that were ruled off the track working with me. We were sitting around eating lunch and I said lets go get some beers man, the rest of this job can wait till tomorrow..I stop on the way too the Garden State Grill and pick up rhododendrons for my Mom, I was married at the time, so I got her some poison ivy, only kidding got her some azaleas, got her Mom some flowers loaded them on the stake body and too the bar I went. Now, I have one Lucky Leo Murray with me. He is an exercise boy at the race track and a former jockey. I paid everybody including myself because it was Friday. So, as me and Lucky are driving to the bar he starts too tell me how good he is in shuffle alley.. I tell him we'll see how good you are when we get there. Park the truck and in we go, about 3PM. We start drinking and shooting for a dollar a game and we are shooting pretty even some 240's, 260's throw a 280 in there. When sure enough here comes the local hustler. Hey you guys wanna shot partners, now Lucky or Unlucky as I called him gets us into a 10.00 partner game plus drinks and quarters. Soooooo as the day turns into night, it is now about 9PM, I am broke, Lucky or Unlucky as I called him is broke. He borrows 200.00 of the bartender. I said where the fuck you gonna get two hundred dollars to pay that guy. He says don't worry about it we're gonna win. Two hours later broke again. Now, I am not only broke it is 11PM, so I know there is trouble in Paradise, when Lucky or Unlucky as I called him says, hey you gotta give me a ride to Gibbsboro, the old lady told me too go fuckin die somewhere. I said lets go, I'll take you home. I am now broke for Easter, gotta drive drunk to fucking Gibbsboro and back at least an hour out of my way. I owe the bartender 200.00, and as I am walking to the truck I see all the fucking plants are stolen. I scream Unlucky they stole my fuckin plants. Without battin a fucking eye he looks at me and says, that's what you get for drinking on Good Friday. I just remember grabbing a shovel and him running across rt. 70 with me in pursuit, and I kinda remember him laughing. Had a nice Easter that year.....
So Glad you didn't spit your coke all over the screen again Catey, or pee your pants like last time!And that was a lil too much information Lass.I'm kidding you catey keep coming around you brighten the place up.
Simple lil do they know Most of it if not all are true. And your right there isn't enough time to tell em all.Hell I could do an Hour and a half monolougue on Boot Camp. Whew some of the characters I was with.
Simple Simple you lost ? I rember you and Buggsy used to shoot 300 damn near ever time. or was this the lesson you needed to learn to get better ? smirks and walks away.
Yeah, I got better. I used too think 240 was good. Uh Uh. I shot Bugsy one time in Ratay's. 10.00 a game. Big bucks back then. He gave me 10 pins and shot with a pool cue. Little did I know that you really cannot miss with a pool cue. So the Bugs Man shoots two 300's but so did I. Still can shoot pretty good, but not like that. I played Bitter Bill like around the horn tournament couple years back. We were the only two left. He beat me by striking out in the tenth. Holy Shit, I thought he got a hit too win the World Series. As I said though still pretty much hold my own..
Hey Plain, member the time you said lets go to this new shore town everybody is talkin about Margate. I said lets go. We had like 10.00 between us, and we went back and forth over the Ben Franklin and spent all the fucking money on tolls.. Turn here, no Margate is this way. What Bridge we on now?? I don't fuckin know looks familiar. Yo!! we're back in Philly.... Well where's this Margate. You gotta go back across that bridge. What fuckin Bridge?? The Ben Franklin.. We just went over the Ben Franklin. Well what are we doing in Philly?? You must have made a wrong turn. Alright lets go back over this Bridge. What Bridge is this?? I think it is the Ben Franklin.. You said we already went over the Ben Franklin.. I thought we did.. Excuse me sir, is this the Ben Franklin Bridge?? Yes it is.. Is that Margate?? No. that's Camden. Go around that circle and get on the black horse pike and follow it until you see signs for Margate. It ain't right here Plain. I never said it was. Watch the fuckin circle Simple your supposed to go around it not over it.. Okay.. Here we go theres a Bridge. What's the name of this Bridge Plain? I don't know man but it's another quarter.. Man there are a lot of tolls. That must be Margate.. That's fuckin William Penn.. William Penn he is in Philly.. This must be the Ben Franklin Bridge. WHAT!!! You didn't go the right way around the circle.Margate was to the left. I told you I should have went through that fuckin circle. Got another quarter,,,,,,LOL
Yeah well I know shuffle alley is alot safer than Bowling ! I rember being up Andorra lanes and when the red Pin came up on pin #1 if you got a strike you won a free game.Well here I am about 16 and trying to impress this girl on a first date well I get the red pin a couple times and don't even let the guy know, I didnt want the attention.So the people on both sides of us keep telling me oh you have to yell up to the attendent let him know you have the red pin. I was that's okay no biggie. So the next time I get the red pin there being real nice and there all yelling up to this attendent. Everybody in the fucking place is watching me!!!!!! I line up and and usually throw a pretty straight ball right into the pocket between the #1 and #2 pin so here I go three steps slide aiming best I can bring the ball back, bring it forward and hit myself right in the fucking ankle, the ball rolls down like four lanes toward the people bowling and sitting there watching I go down and feel like my fucking leg is broken. So I get up and limp off the Alley My girlfriend is like you okay ? I'm like nooooo my friggin leg is broken this game is too fucking dangerous we are going sky diving she is cracking up i'm in agony. I stand up and yell at the people ya see why I didn't tell him???? We left and I gave up living on the edge that friggin Bowling is way too dangerous!!!!!!!!I only do Bungie Jumping, sky diving , Mountain climbing, and white water rafting anymore, no more Dangerous sports for me.
Lolllllllll Simple I rember it well we spent all our Margate money on the Ben Franklin Bridge. Were going in circlessssssssssssss around and arounddddd
It was 1967/1968, Jacksonville, Fla. Lived in Pensacola where my ship was stationed. We went to Jacksonville for repairs and then I had a 1966 Ford Fairlane 500, (Ole Paint). After arriving in Jacksonville we got the lay of the land and found out you could drive your car on the beach. Ergo, to the store for our beer, four of us two cases and two coolers. To the beach. There was a jetty where we were and so we said lets walk out on the jetty and relax with our beverages. We are having a ball, smoking and bullshit. We look back and see the Shore Patrol and Jacksonville police lights and sirens gathering aroung Ole Paint, WTF. We bring whats left of our brews and had to see what was up. Ole Paint was about 5 minutes from floating out to sea. We forgot the tide was coming in, it was nice on the jetty, cool breeze with a little mist. They were towing Ole Paint in to shore. Read us the riot act, made us dump all our beer out and made us prommise never to come back. Okey Dokey Sir. Ole Paint started and away we went, to party on dry land. AAAAH the good old days. I miss that car.if it could only talk....sometimes it did..LOL
DUMB STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Psycho-bitch baby killer got off!
Yeah Strebor, she got off, but this dumb stuff is fun. I will make another prediction. She ain't gonna have a lot of fun..
Hey Plain remember when we finally got to Margate I am going to say the summer of 69, those were the best days of my life..I had about a 1000.00 to my name from severance pay and whatever else I had saved over the years.. We went down Margate and rented that dive, Mousie "Enrico" Angeline. (RIP) First weekend I started up Washington Ave. towel in hand and hear this roaring song "Sally saying something girl you got my heart a thump thump thumpin" what the fuck is that.. Stop dead in my tracks wrap the towel around my shoulder and for the first time in my life I saw Maloney's Bar. Walked in saw about 3000 drafts on the bar, guys, girls and songs a blarin. 1.00 for eight drafts.. Give me sixteen, that was the beginning of the summer of '69. True Story. Never, not once saw the beach.. Man, but I saw a lot of other stuff. "You and I travel to the beat of a different drum, ahhh can't you tell by the way I run every time you make eyes at me." Hey girl come on over here let me buy you eight drinks.. LOL!!!!!
Welcome back Catey, from now on when you visit you have to be sippin coke.. Like we said Plain if we want too talk about dumb things we did that could be a whole other Ville. We can continue that tomorrow.. Raining in the Ville tonite. Thunder and Lightning man, the critters are racked it. Put Ole Paint in the garage for the night. Got the Phils going late. So I guess we can call it a day. Not a normal VODKADAY, kind of a Freaky Friday. Enjoy what is left of the 8th of July, see you tomorrow.."Stay Out Of Harms Way My Friends." TAPS..............
