I never learned it. I think I saw it written out once, but not sure. Maybe it
was Crooked Oak's.

In Capital Hillese, Crook Oak is known as Bent Stick:poke:

I just told Prunette. If I were you I'd change you're name real fast!

The girl can field strip and assemble an M-16 in less than 30 seconds.

Her target score is "110%". That means she scored perfect on sighting in
and perfect on targets.

Now, what did you say about Crooked Oak?

Fiction...swimming pool was at the Southside YMCA 4 blocks south on Penn...
Did have a rifle Range though in the basement over by the Gym...

And there was another entrance to the tunnels that you get to that was near the side stage entrance. How about the spiral staircase in that same area that went up above the auditorium??

It appears from the Coit's gathering that female alums from Grant are smarter than the guys. Since they stay away I take it that these females don't want to admit to being a Grant grad in public!!

Your exactly right! Age is mind over matter! If you don't mind, it don't
matter (pardon my improper use of English)

Never underestimate a child's (Gen64's) ability to get into more trouble!
That's why he has to sit next to Soonergirl at the get togethers.

Notice how I excluded myself from the child analogy? I'm very smart!

As far as north siders go, you have to include them because I'm officially a
north sider. That sounds so bad, doesn't it?

At least I don't cause trouble...

Naw! I was interested in girls at that time. Didn't discover sports until I started drinking. Had to give it up so now I am deeper into sports.

Have not missed an OU football home game since 1974. But!! I was really drinking until 1985, so when I hear a game mentioned I can only say "I was at that game." Not "I remember that game" because I probably don't!!

Aren't you glad you have met me in my milder days.

If you would have looked up and took notice most of those kids cleaning up were S.E. kids pilfering.

Too late!! The CHHS bunch got there the night before.

Just don't know about you Grant people. There were u.s. govt cans and packages of spam, prunes, flour, corn meal............ Scattered all over the place..............

And in the boys gym locker room were 6 sheep, 4 geese and a chicken............

In the drama department nothing but hand puppets. Several in these silly nurse uniforms.

Anything resembling a warm welcome should be totally disregarded. We're a
bunch of rude nut cases who can't stand each other. We really can't
stand newbies.

Gen64 is criminally insane and Soonergirl26 is really a hired body guard for
the mafia. She shoots first and never asks questions.

Don't show up unarmed. The real reason I won't be there is because I'm
recovering from the gunshot wounds during the last meeting. I've never
fished a day in my life. Soonergirl26 told me to say that or...

Hey! What are you doing here...

Al Good was a successful big band leader. The object of the band was to
play dance music and no to provide a concert. I played with him many times.

Stopped by his office one time and bought a large group of Band instruments....The Valve Trombone I bought ($10.00) was made in 1940 per serial numbers on the horn along With Al's initials...but, I played that horn all though Highschool.....How's that for a coincidence......
