GB: He's probably sitting in some station munching on a $5 cheese sandwich while waiting for the next bus.

Yeah right! 31,000 ft...you mean 65 mph in the backseat of a Greyhound between Wichita and Durango, CO passin' a brown bag back and forth...glad you weren't riding with the guy who decided to eat his seatmate.

OD: Sounds delicious...a moldy cheese sandwich...ES must have spent extra to get a first class seat right behind the driver.

ES: The way I understood it...it was the Red Cedar that was on fire...all of the floating condums caught fire and created a hell of a smoke cloud over East Lansing...we heard about it in Kzoo.

GB: Red Cedar (Latex River) what ever name you want to go by - It was also the place where making balloon toys started ....

ES: GB still has some old balloons he fished out of the Red Cedar. He blows up the colored ones and ties them to Tango’s tail and mane when they ride during the Prescott parades.

OD: No way! Never went near the Red Cedar as a student...drove over it later on recruiting trips...at WMU we all never that diseases could be caught just from being near the place.

OD: At WMU we all knew that there were diseases to be caught on the banks of the Red Cedar...I avoided the place like the plague...Broncoettes were more wholesome ladies.

GB: At Alma we had to pass by the Leonard Oil refinery when we came off US 27 into town. Thankfully it was on the opposite side of town from the college. Stunk like mad, but at least it masked the even worse stink from the Red Cedar 50 miles to the south.

GB/OD: You Eco freaks..... the red cedar would flow depending on the direction the wind was blowing .... Broncoette's We called them DOGS ... MSU had all the foxes.... that is for sure!

ES/OD: Seems that I recall that the Rouge and the Red Cedar were on fire at the same time. My recollection too is that ES wore glasses that looked like the bottom of Coke bottles...its understandable that he thought MSU was populated by foxes...his philosophy was that "in the dark they all feel alike"...he lived next door to the Tri-Pig house on campus so his confusion is understandable.

GB: I don’t care if it is dark. If it smells like a pig, squeals like a pig, and has a tail like a pig… it’s a pig. ES learned that in his 309 troop orientation. He knew what he was doing.

OD: I dunno about smell...but I do know that a couple of MSU foxes did more than a little squealing...and they had the cutest tails...they definitely were not pigs.

OD: You are right on .... GB and remember his cousin Jjaba we broncoette's .... that leather helmet with the painted banana peels in bright yellow that was sized EXTRA SMALL that he wore when he dated Howie did taint his thought processes ... sad that he still clings to the memories of cleaning houses and doing chores on Farmbrook .... He is a total mess ... I hope he finally can get medicare to cover the cost of his rehab.

ES: Dubja! "Cleaning up" did NOT mean "cleaning houses"...man, didn't BE learn you nuthin'? You two are NEVER going to get over my tryst with SR, are you? Jealousy is such a sad condition...GAWD, she was fun. OD needs to go back to drooling over SD...and ES can fantasize about Renee forever...if indeed she existed.

ES: Just because GB liked to wear maid's clothing doesn't mean he actually cleaned anything. Although the Molly Maid emblem on the Sunliner is was suspicious.

OD: GB was the original Molly Maid and we were so proud of him and Howie T when they dated and stated teaming up as Molly Maids. I do remember SR telling me that she thought that GB and HT were a little odd and that she was a little concerned about then always driving around in his Sunliner ... SR was such a nice individual who felt that those two clowns might have an alternative life style ....

OD: I will confess...I was a tad shocked myself when she asked me to dance...and then suggested that we leave the dance early...I mean, after all...my letter sweater was for golf...I was not a high profile football player such as the queen of the cheerleaders might be expected to accompany...but...I recovered from my surprise and performed admirably...dancing and touring the island.

ES: Is it true that hottie SR actually went out with GB, a golfer, more than once? With all she had to choose from I guess that just proves a girl must be pretty dumb to go out with GB… or else she lost one heck of a bet.

Suckers!...maybe SR discovered that GB had a long driver!...and the reason SHY dumped ES was that he couldn't make a short putt...same for OD and Sharon D.
