“Queers?” I’m SO glad we’ve amused you but, if “snark” was all you took away from the experience you didn’t look very deeply. Perhaps I took your comment wrong, but in a country where gay couples can have their rights of visitation in a hospital or their rights of inheritance abrogated, I think we have a certain right to be defensive. I’m glad you got a chuckle, but your reference to “queers” seems a little snide. Are you “slumming” on the internet or do you believe in rights for gays? One is a rather rude intrusion and the other is, or should be, a learning experience. I agree with you that DL can be very funny. There is much more to the conversation than that.

the queers don’t need any more judgmental fraus on the DL.

Dave, an old girlfriend of mine won that contest in the early 90’s. A few years after we had broken up. I saw her on the news. ‘Nuff said.

BTW, the term “Ermerson” is a contraction for “Them are some.”

alex: I used to go past the Chicago skeet range all the time on Lake Shore Drive. I was only actually there once, to pick up a friend on the way to a Cubs game. Yep, I remember when it closed …must be over 20 years ago now.
Nancy: first time blogging with ya…you’ll remember me as the guy who dropped off a VHS tape at the News Sentinel office . It had the David Letterman 10th (maybe 15th?) anniversary show which you and all of FWA were denied seeing due to a late IU basketball game…I had taped it from a Toledo station.
Haven’t poked around this blog yet…are you in Detroit now?

Danny, Thanks for the link to OMBAC. If any guys are just browsing, check the “Miss Emerson” link. If you ever played rugby, or attended a rugby party, I won’t have to tell you twice!

Dave, that is pretty amazing that they let a bunch of ruggers play at the polo grounds. That is akin to letting the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) play have their annual Over The Line (OTL) tournament at Del Mar.

I never played polo, but back in ‘79 I had the privilege of playing rugby with a select group from the Fort Wayne and Indianapolis Rugby Clubs known as the C.R.A.B.S., or Combined Rugby And Bowling Side.

We traveled to Milwaukee, WI the “Bowling Capital of the Midwest”, to compete in the Milwaukee Club’s Invitational tournament played at yes, the Milwaukee Polo Grounds.

I have no idea how that motley crew from the Milwaukee RFC convinced the powers that be to allow us to use this beautiful venue, but it was the nicest pitch I ever played on. (Someone had picked up MOST of the “road apples” prior to our match).

To “little bro Joe”, I miss the old man too, and I’m sure he is watching and smiling.

We got pounded most of the week, with a break right now. Lots of rain,lots of wind. Getting to work yesterday was challenging, since there were a few small mudslides here on my hill. Once I got on the freeway I was fine unless a good gust of wind hit me. I saw a semi jack knife on the other side of the freeway on Thursday night and it looked like about six cars got into fender benders as a result. It’s supposed to be bad again tonight thru Sunday, so I’m madly doing an sort of outdoor stuff that needs doing.

The CHP has a long unused firing range at their Oakland field office. No, they weren’t shooting skeet. There’s every other kind of shooting in Oakland, but not skeet. We’re going to do some demolition and construction on the site to upgrade some facets of the CHP operation but there is severe lead contamination. Things have already been delayed for over a year because of the contamination. It’s going to cost a bloody fortune to abate it. Oh well. The Hazmat people need to eat too.
