That's it!!! 5:30 in the morning and I wake up to see THIS? The gauntlet has been thrown down!
Some years back, I went to a seamstress and had a dental mirror put into a leg wrap, complete with velcro for adjustment. Sort of like a garter, if you get my drift. I presented it to Gene on stage at the PBS gathering, in front of hundreds of people. It was cool... Gene hadn't seen his "Hydraulics" in years and he was now all set.
I asked him a couple of years later what he had done with it and he said he had thrown it out. THEN...I asked Donna about it. Aha! Seems he kept it and all the velcro is just about worn off.
The cowboy boots...Again, another PBS convention and I went into the men's. Urnals were full (and way too high, anyway), so I went into a stall. I'm standing there kind of humming a tune and I hear this splattering sound, followed by insane giggling. I look down and someone in the next stall is pissing on one of my $600 Paul Bond Ostrich boots!
When I walked out of the men's room, there were around 600 pairs of eyes glued to my one dark boot (and pant leg) and my light boot. Just remember, Gene... "Revenge is a meal that must be eaten cold!"
Floating the Moose John River with Gene was a REAL education. Now most of the stuff that happened on that trip are not presentable here, but, TRUST ME, this man (using that term losely) is whacked out most of a 24 hour day.
I HAVE PHOTOS!!!! First, there is Gene in a T shirt that only comes down to the fat roll above his navel. It says, "I choked Linda Lovelace!" Of course, it was my shirt and he borrowed it. It never fit again. Then there is the photo of the Brothers Wensel Sumo wrestling! Both had their Jockeys pulled tight into their bun cracks...or maybe they are always like that.
These are old time regular photos, but when I get back to Montana, I'm going to have them scanned and see about putting them in this site somewhere.
More? You bet, but I'm saving it for the next time I get in here.
Oh, yeah... Bob McMann was here and we went fishing together. He's the guy who used to bring the Helle knives in to the country. If he posts a photo of me with a sheep in a river, I was just helping the sheep get to shore. It had been mired in the mud and instead of helping me free it, he took pictures. Don't believe anything he tells you. The sheep was way too tall for any of that to be true!
