Yes we do have them but up here things never last long. Too cold for most things to live. Just us crazy humans and of course the polar bears ;)#9: Gypso (Gypso) on Sep 1, 2007 [SPOILER]

JC! "Y" as in yes.#14: J.C. Anderson (jc.noserdna) on Sep 3, 2007
Lol My Dad, who tends bar at a local tavern, told me that joke years back. I like your version much better though. :D
I hadn't heard of the Stanford marching band debacle. Pretty funny in retrospect? Very cool Purdue/SC/Stanford marching band story! Is Doug one of your dead head friends? Seize the day JC! This is a Huge claim to fame! I'm impressed!
And an excellent choice of songs! One of my favorites. *oh oh* "Where does the time go? How does this song go? Are you kind?" Time for bed, out of order, yes I'm kind. ^>^
This had to be in the late '70's when the Debacle (do you say "DEB-a-cle" or "de-BAK-le") took place--by the time I got there the halftime band was playing (and highstepping) to the strains of "elvira". That was the last purdue game I went to. Yes, Doug, aka the cosmic tapeworm, was a boy genius, a regular Stevie Winwood. Got into engineering school at age 15. But just too bright to be very socially adept, unfortunately. Too young, too smart, too much freedom, he had a real hard time with university life and eventually went back home. Never heard from him again.#15: Gypso (Gypso) on Sep 3, 2007
I say "de-BAK-le". Where is the other pronunciation used?#16: J.C. Anderson (jc.noserdna) on Sep 3, 2007
"Elvira", got to love it! What a great marching band!
Hope Doug's okay. I've known a lot of adults and kids with the same problem as his. Some soared and some are transient.
No, you didn't really have to love it. Maybe you had to be there to get the full schmaltz of it.#17: Lisa Swomley (twizzler) on Feb 14, 2008 [SPOILER]
