Don't remember the milkman too much. I guess it's because my dad always kept a shotgun by the door waiting for him! Just a joke! I do remember the glass gallon milk jugs with paper lids.

Did anyone but me ever ride your bicycle over to the dump behind the Catholic church (where the hospital is now) to watch the city dump its garbage and burn it?

Here's another dumb stunt I pulled: Me and a couple of others were riding our bikes on the tennis courts at LJJH and were seeing how close we could come to the backboard after skidding our brakes on the slick concrete. I had a big Schwinn with hand brakes so it stopped pretty quick using both front & back, but my friend (who shall remain nameless) smashed the family jewels on his handlbar when his coaster brakes failed to stop him in time before he hit the backboard. Ouch!!!

Marian I LOVED THE CHOCOLATE MILK AS A KID IN SCHOOL!! What a memory! and Dicky how did we exist without our bikes growing up. It was..I think Danny Cappel, Johnny Hill and myself who rode our bikes to freeport and back. I believe we rode all the way to the Dow saltwater canal and then back and once to surfside bridge and back.

Cynthia I love that about the chocolate milk.. was that milkmans name Mr Morris ...he had a son that graduated in the class before us IF I remember correctly. What about Night Flight.. anyone watch that in the 80's or the cool music videos that came on back then late at night

Nancy Carrier The movie that freaked me out was "Not of this World" The aliens had only white in the eye sockets. Don't know why but that one was scary to me. Then everyone did the little trick with their eyes holding up the lids and looking down.

Strickland doesn’t remember any of that stuff. He is finding it on line.

I do remember when all those guys would come to the Angleton Fairgrounds each week for matches. A couple of times they had matches at Hopper Field. My grandmother was in heaven. She loved Pepper Gomez.

Hints / suggestions anyone?

Jd Barnett: For those who don't remember Bull Curry, here's a reminder... linked text. He used to carry brass knuckles in his shorts and pull them out and whale on his opponent and blood would fly everywhere. That was back when wrestling was real.

Joe Ballard awesome link Jim!! Johnny Valentine....saw his name there!

Jd Barnett:

Other big names I remember...Fritz von Erich, Killer Karl Kox, the Volkovs, the Funks...

Anyone remember Utah Carl singing on Sunday mornings? The opening song had the lyrics, "I'm just a wanderer of the wasteland, I ride along and sing of days gone by..."

The camera focused on his boots, one foot tapping, and on one boot was "Utah" and on the other was "Carl." Some furniture store sponsored his program.

Funny the things you remember...

Jd Barnett: Here's my favorite Bull Curry picture: Handsome devil, wasn't he?

06/05/09 05:11 PM	#1246
Jd Barnett: Not to be outdone by the Bull, here's Wahoo McDaniel, who also played defense for the Oilers, among other teams: Dee might want to give a framed Wahoo McDaniel print as a door prize...

Jim, I remember Utah Carl. My dad is a big country western music fan and we watched Utah Carl a lot. I remember the boots, the song, and he also had his name tooled on his leather guitar strap. Daddy also loved Ernest Tubb. "Waltz Across Texas" played frequently on the record player at our house and Daddy would waltz with my Mom. Great memories!!! And he would "Put Your Little Foot" with me....

Wasn't Utah Carl sponsored by some furniture store in Alvin? When we came back to live in the states and I saw that on t.v. I thought Alvin must be a BIG city like Houston - so why didn't we ever go there? It was easy to fool kids back then . . . kind of like Donna Billie Jones' NYC skyline when she was a kid - the Dow lights at night. Ooops, I don't limit public embarassment to just me.

Jd Barnett: I'm glad someone remembers Utah Carl besides me. His show was sponsored by that furniture store in Alvin. I'm not a real hardcore CW fan, but I enjoy listening to guys like Marty Robbins and the guy that fronted the Texas Playboys (Wills?). And Utah Carl, of course. Here's another blast from the past: She was hot! My cub scout troop went up to Houston to see her.

BOB WILLS & THE TEXAS PLAYBOYS - best western swing of all time! I must admit I own a cd (had to replace the 8 track) = 'Faded Love', 'Time Changes Everything', 'Cherokee Maiden', 'Big Balls in Cowtown', 'Maiden's Prayer' . . . just makes your big toe rumble in your boot. "If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band."

06/05/09 10:52 PM	#1253
Jd Barnett: That's the guy, Carrol. I like their stuff. Did he really have a song called "Big Balls in Cowtown?" Sounds like something the Charlie Daniels Band would record. I like San Antonio Rose. Great song.

Carrol Reneau (Jeffers)

Yes, and it is still being played. Here's George Strait. (This song is about LARGE DANCES in Ft.Worth as it was written in a time before offensive lyrics)

'Faded Love' with Willie Nelson & Ray Price - the only guys that can do it better than Bob Wills. ( with Crystal Gayle as a back-up singer) Donna Rae, your brother and I two-stepped millions of miles to this. Doug was a great dancer.

Jd Barnett:

I met him (Strait)in Salt Lake City in the early '80's. Chatted with him for a while. He was doing the grand opening of a Fred Meyer store. It being Utah, no one but me knew who he was and he was just sitting at a folding table with two guys just inside the entrance of the store. He was wearing starched and pressed blue jeans so I knew he was from Texas. Nice guy.

Nice song, too. Different than I expected from the title. I still like San Antonio Rose. It's one of those songs that make me wish I could dance. If I could dance, maybe I could have stayed married.

06/05/09 11:20 PM	#1256
Jd Barnett: Isn't Ray Price the guy that sang "Ahab the Arab?" kidding, OK???

Carrol Reneau (Jeffers)

Now look what you started! The other Ray also did 'The Streak'.

06/05/09 11:30 PM	#1258
Jd Barnett: Don't forget "Would Jesus wear a Rolex," "Gitarzan," many others...he was my son's favorite artist next to Weird Al Yankovic when my son was eight. Here's my favorite CW song of all time...Marty Robbins, of course.

Here's a good crying in your beer song. Not John Mayer's 'Slow dancing in a burning room' but . .

06/05/09 11:37 PM	#1260
Jd Barnett: Wow, Carrol, we've almost filled up the whole page with wild Indians, long legged black cat women, bad squirrel songs, and songs about big balls. People are gonna see it and wonder what the hell happened. So in that same vein, here's one more old wrestler for the road...Pepper Gomez.

06/05/09 11:39 PM	#1261
Jd Barnett: Oh, well...at least we drew attention away from the forum's obsession with wayward milkmen and the autoerotic demise of Grasshopper...
