Mark:

There's a mess o' folks who are funny on dis here Wreck.

Charlie Self has the driest and most economical wit and he always
makes me laugh. Sometime you don't even know it's funny for a day or
two.

Keeter's stuff is more involved but still comes from a personality
that is full of the ability to see the absurd in life and in the
Wreck, mixed with an analytical intelligence that make the funny ring
true.

I miss old Walt the most, he was the guy who could really get me
belly-laughing - but I think he only writes for money these days.

O'Deen has a fierce intelligence that he moderates with tremendous wit
and any thing that you can read of his is informed by both.

Watch out for that Jeffrey Thunder - he of the all too occasional
posting - he's a funny MF.

BAD can be funny both intentionally and not.

C-less has some funny things to say but he picks on me too much, so
I'm leaving him out.

I don't know where dat PineyWood sumbitch got to but Jummy is a bright
spot in the humor column.

Phil Laird has taken to hanging on the binaries but he used to be a
reliable laugh - it was the patois - mostly.

I don't know what happened to Pat Leach.

Any Bennett that you can grab is funny, but mostly if you can get them
arguing with each other.

Nahmie chimes in with a barb now and then - that can be priceless.

When Baglio isn't taking life too seriously, he's a funny man, and he
says some smart stuff, too.

Mike Hide isn't that funny but he is prolly the best wooddorker on the
Wreck. The man is a genius with his hands. He's just not funny
because he's British. (maybe he's only English - I think you have to
be rich to be British).

Rick Chamberlain is funny. He doesn't post nearly enough.

Bob Schmall is flat out funny but he can't play golf worth a damn.

Pagona has always been and always will be funny.

Tommy Plamann is not funny but he doesn't need to be.

charlieb is a sly dog and gets his licks in.

CW is funnier than he realizes.

T, Theo, JOAT is and always will be funny - when he damned well
pleases.

Well, I'm running out of gas. You know how these list things are.
Somebody is going to be mortally pissed because they did not make the
list that I just farted out of my head in two minutes.

Ah, well - that would make them not very funny. . .

But I'm open to equivocation.

Yeah, I'm proud of having graduated kumbaya from 'Nova. The honors
were not nearly as high as the student body (akshully - most guys
thought of Jeanie Francis as "The Student Body" - wonder what she
looks like now?).

I enjoy ths posts of those you've mentioned who I've seen in my relatively
short time luring and posting. "Sylvain" also puts thoughts to prose well
in my estimation. A truck driver who writes!

You won't be included. Nyaah, nyaah.

No... you started what appears to be a "love fest" among
people who generally don't care for each other. I expect
to see a big "group hug" at any moment.

Many thanks, from some one new to whittling & spitting & spinning yarns on
this porch.

And thanks to all of you here. The caring and sharing are appreciated,
even by those who lurk.

I've only heard of her. Way back in the 2nd grade, at Trinity
Cathedral School in Little Rock, AR, I had a lovely teacher,
whom I adored. I heard of the other kids who didn't get along
with their teachers there who were sent to the ominously named
lady. Those who returned stood up for the rest of the day for
some reason, or so I heard. According to legend, she once hit a
kid so hard his li'l puckerer ended up on his frontside, next
to his belly button.


>I prefer a 20 oz. cue, operated in the usual manner. Now there's an image I
>didn't need....

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Right you are, Bawb.

(Confession: Sister Strongarm never existed, but my teacher,
Miss Hankins, was the best teacher I ever had. She was kind
and fair, making me want to _like_ school again...until I
returned to the LRAFB school the next year. <sigh>)

I don't believe he has posted in a few years, but Tom G.
(I forget how to spell his last name) was a woodworker,
barber and storyteller all-in-one.

It's sad to say, but many very talented and informative
professional woodworkers have long since departed the
wreck due to the wreckage, if you will: John Pacquay (sp?),
Joe Dillet, etc...

One of the funniest things I've ever read. Left me gasping.

He had another one, didn't he, about a riding mower or some such that got
away?

Sister Strongarm, or those of her ilk, most certainly did exist. Our
particular (Fifth Grade) iteration was referred to as Sister Mary
Benzedrine.

She had superhuman strength and the indefatigable energy of the truly
possesed.

I never saw her head do a 360 but she prolly did that in private.

Ya see what I mean about lists!

I should have included all of those guys but a fit of CRS was upon me.

I reckon that weegee is pissed and if'n ya hear of a driveby committed

Yeah, I apologize to youse and Scott and some of the other guys that
got left off inadvertently.

This has made me decide to prepare extensive notes before the Academy
Awards, just in case they call my name.

It really pisses people off when you forget to mention them during the
Academy Awards and I want to avoit that, if possible.

We had Holly Plotkin in Vista High. When that girl bent
over, as she did 50 times a day, her miniskirt and lowcut
blouse had the entire school looking. I loved that gal
from afar. (She was a year ahead of me.)

Ah, fond, hard memories.
