Trust me I'm looking forward to it. By then I might even be able to fill up my car with a tank of gas.

Z: Both of my children grad in 4 years - whew and both have done very very well since. One at University of California - San Diego and the other University of California - Santa Barbara - both highly competitive and top notch schools. Even though you need to expand your match collection - MSU still remains the university of the state of Michigan and I still trust your judgment regarding the EASTSIDE. GB finally did get himself straightened out after SE 59 crushed his self concept in the early 60's ... the old boy still remains the godfather of our historical history of Eastside Detroit....

GB: Thanks ... I was frightened - in fact VERY frightened as I saw Jjaba's pic on another thread ... he looked like me ... what should I do? I could move to the westside and renounce everything ... or go into hiding somewhere on the eastside .. maybe on Fordham ... it was scary loosen your extra small helmet and give me some advice hurry!

I'm starting to think that Jjaba is ES's alter ego...there are just too many similarities.

Well...I don't know if disguised is right...I'm thinking that they're sorta one and the same...ES in reality uses Jjaba to control his most lurid impulses...to provide a check on thoughts that in his core he knows are inappropriate...it's not truly a divided personality...but...it sorta heads down that road...without Jjaba it's possible that ES might figuratively fly off into space psychologically. A professional shrink...as ES claims to be...could certainly do a better job of explaining it.

I guess that explains why ES is always so mean to Jjaba. He wants the body all to himself.

To All: It has been revealed that we are twins he was born in '40 and myself in '43 ... separated at Harper Hospital during a disruptive visit from cub pack 706 .... Jjaba was placed on a DSR bus and was last seen on Dexter Ave..... as for me I moved to Beaconfield first and then to Eastwood .... I always wanted to run a printing business and J-boy wanted to help children who went to Noble - Tappan and Cass Tech .... and then there was the bending over compass incident at Howell Scout camp and Jjaba was never the same and fixated on this repetitive westside drivel ... he did get a bronco tattooed on both of his ($*%&icles and used to dance with the chippendales in 1960 and once again on the western side of the state ... The tattoos remain today but are covered with printers ink that could be used to print maps of the eastside. It is my wish to ride a bus with him on Woodward from grand circus park to 8 mile and of course I would sit on the east side of the bus and Jjaba Clown on the west ....and we would then switch our seats at 8 mile .... My brother does have difficulty still to this day since the compass needle point which is pointing east has never been removed from the incident at CH Scout camp in 1955 ...

What happened? We almost had the personalities merged and now this. Something extremely traumatic must have transpired. I’m guessing SH finally found them and made a proposition that thrilled the ES personality but repulsed the Jjaba personality. Now they’re even further alienated than before. One is blowin’ in the wind while the other is just passin’ wind.

But thanks to the latest ES post we might have a clue into what caused the original split… the three year labor. According to the Chinese calendar Jjaba personality (1940 ) is a dragon, and ES personality (1943) is a goat…. which helps us better understand some of his other weird habits.

I can’t imagine how hard a three year labor must have been on the mother, but it was probably better than if she had seen both of them at the same time.

Olddetroiter, the year was 1941. jjaba was born just before all hell broke loose in Hawaii.
jjaba asks that you be kind to his mother. You only get one, remember.

jjaba, Proudly Westside.

JJ: Which personality should I believe? The other one says 1940. If it's truly 1941 then you're a snake, not a dragon. I meant no disrespect to your mother. Any woman who can survive two or three year labor pains must be a truly fine and courageous lady.

OD: I'm guessing that you're right...SH(Y) found them...and there they go again...I always wondered about ES's affinity for goats and now we have the answer...very nice detective work!

J: We have nothing but the greatest regard and sympathy for your mother...that was true even before we discovered the ES connection...Gawd, the poor woman.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, jjaba. Joe Dumar's shares your birthdate and I asked him to call you tonight after the Piston's big win over the Celtics. I told him to keep in mind the 3 hour time difference, but at your age, I am sure you will have your soup early, take your Geritol and will retire by 9 (your time).
And I see you have now left your roots and are a big posting-contributor to that East side bastion of learning know as Edw. Denby High. Maybe Billy Bonds will invite you to their next reunion, and you would not have to go all the way to Brighton to see classmates.

OD: I think it falls in the category of a physician attempting to heal himself...his love/hate thing with Jjaba must have been terribly frustrating...especially insofar as it concerned Sheila F...with Jjaba getting everything that ES wanted...I truly feel sorry for him...I'm certain that its been a painful lifetime.

GB: It was very painful for J-Bronco-Northlawn boy as he got nothing but grief from his bro ES 61... we did have a great time at his BDay party today - his favorite gift was a fisher-price printer set and we hold be can finally start and hold down a steady job for the first time since the Year of the SNAKE.... My twin older brother is what the family has called for years as being SNAKE BITTEN ...

To all: All efforts to merge the personalities have proved fruitless. The Jjaba personality seems willing to work toward unity, but ES still resists. Although Jjaba is the snake, goat boy keeps churning out the venom.

OD: One can only guess at the level of anger produced by the rejection of SH(Y), SF, and RM..to say nothing of some of the "older women" e.g. PG and RM...we need to be more understanding of ES's pain.

TO ALL: SH(Y), GL, MB,NG, MM, EO, and DN come to mind. SF was a one time deal at Mumford and then the one we all missed RM on Mapleridge was a real mistake ..... but that is the 57 to 61 history.

And then there was the total help that was provided to GB with a prom name ... and that was not second tier by the MSU CSI investigators ... who will want to know in June how GB is doing and what will I be able to report - HE still sides the J-Bronco - Od and his foggy notions and Jc's catholic experiecnes .... I have a feeling that GB will not be getting a lot of assistance about his inquiries after the June LA summit .....

ES: I will forever be indebted to the Msu-CSI ladies for producing the name of my long forgotten prom date. I remain terrified that one of them might be who I think she is.
