Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations And the winner is.........

Are you implying that we have short attention spans?

it even moved for me on dial-up (after a bit of a download period)

I thought it was Krusty the Klown after that bucket of BGs. :p

Badgers Talk about attention span!

Dwight...that is so stupid....I started tappin' my foot.

Brettsi - I figured you would get a kick out of it, if anyone would! There are a lot of other toons at that site too.

Those people have, "Too Much Time on My Hands" - Styx.

Baagers?...We no need no steekin' baagers.

Well, if ever a segue existed into my story about Styx...this is gonna be it. I'll try to keep it brief.
They started out as TW4 on the far south side of Chicago. Dennis DeYoung (keyboard/vocals) was making ends meet during their rise to glory, so he worked as the music teacher at my Jr High School. Yep, my 7th grade music teach was Mr. DeYoung. I can still remember him playing his Eminee chord organ at the teacher's desk, trying to teach us and influence us with Brahms, Bach, and Beethoven. My first rock concert was Styx...I mean TW4 playing a freebie in our Jr High gym.
A couple years later, I would go see them in concert at the local high school gymnasiums. The rest....history.

The closest I got to fame was being Suzanne Summers' chauffer for an evening. She looks like she weighs about 63 pounds. I used to volunteer for Lincoln General Hospital's "Star Night" as photographer and errand boy. I also drove Bill Cosby, Natalie Cole, Lee Ann Rimes and Mark Chesnutt.

OK, I just had a Badgers moment...
I downloaded it and turned up the speakers and subwoofer pretty strong to prepare for the jahm, mahn. I knew Donna-ski was relaxing on the couch in the adjacent room, watching TV and waiting for the washing machine to complete it's cycle in the utility room. LET THE BADGERS BEGIN!
Donna-ski jumps up off the couch like she's on fire and flies by me toward the washing machine. She stops half way and looks back at her mature, distinguished hubbie doing the Brettski Boogie to a heart-pounding rendition of Badgers. Without a break in my choreographed Badgers stage show, she looks at the monitor, calls me one of my precious pet names, cursing the stupid video for making her think there was something seriously wrong with the soon to explode washing machine during the spin cycle.
Gosh, I love her.

Brettski - In 1981 the triple-platinum Paradise Theatre album spawned two Top 10 singles - Dennis DeYoung's "The Best of Times" and Tommy Shaw's "Too Much Time on my Hands" - STYX was rewarded with their first and only #1 album.

My personal favorite is "Boat on the River", though, I enjoy most of their music.

I missed the whole Badger moment. Sorry for my ineptitude..............

...ya had to be there; no worries. I am busy, now, installing the Badger jam into all the smoke alarms.

Did you notice that sometimes there are 10 Badgers and sometimes 11, always one snake though!

Badger Ringtones.......

No offense...but the visual of Suzanne Summers' at 63 lbs killed this thread

Eastland - Another perfectly good thread ditched by the Dooms Day Doctor!

Eastland, I did a security gig for Bo Derek once and she was about the same weight, a very tiny woman, well mostly.

Okay, I guess I can fess up to you guys.

Back in the late '50s and early '60s, I was Arthur Godfrey's mistress and bore his love child. I gave the baby up and he was adopted by a very nice Italian family in the Midwest (or was it the North Central states?) who raised him as their own.

A couple of years ago, a private detective found him for me and I am delighted by the man he has become. I believe he got his acting ability from his biological father, but I am proud that he apparently inherited a propensity for telling whoppers from me.

Here is a picture of my and Arthur's son. Do any of you know him?

Sometimes I wonder if you guys are insane -- oh that must be the effect of the Badgers popping up in the middle of the football field to trip up Krusty the Klown just as he gets close to the bucket of BGs , all the while Dr. Doom is stalking the sidelines yelling " This is The Best of Times" at the top of his lungs.

I'm either scared FOR Dwight, or scared OF Dwight.

I just can't decide which.

DADDY!!!!!!

That is "Stumpy Jack Gallus" . I thought he was in prison for shine runnin !! What's he doing with a firearm ?

You can't keep a Gallus down.

O.K....claim to fame. I once passed a doobie with B. J. Thomas at Miss. State(moo U). Well..actually, I passed the doobie from him to someone else. I was the liason. It was not lit, and if it were, I wouldn't have inhaled.
"I have never had cannabis with that woman".
