Because a large number of former r.a.p users had migrated to POA (http://www.pilotsofamerica.com) I also posted the poll there too. By my count, there were 11 people (including myself) who explicitly stated here, on POA, or via private e-mail that they would be willing to give such a group a try. Posters that weren't explicit or clear in their intent, or merely provided commentary, weren't counted. The count is under my own set goal of 12. And I would have preferred more than 20. So I will not be initiating any efforts to create a r.a.p.m. If anyone else wishes to try, I would be willing to provide support but I will not lead such an effort. Thanks to everyone who supported the idea. Yeah, what a memory. There we were, shoulder to shoulder my hands in my pants, on the football field, even though it was before a baseball game, packed in like sardines. Me, my teddy bear and soon-to-be-dead Tiger Boy, my pussycat. The smell of cannabis filled the air. I don't smoke, it draws out my manic depression. This special night was different from the Grand Funk Railroad or the Three Dog Night or Liberace concerts I never attended there. In my mind, I was. On the football field, where they were awaiting to play a Braves game. In May when NFL football didn't play. 1973 National Football League season Regular season Duration *September 16, 1973 - December 16, 1973* https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikiped...973_NFL_season At one point the lights went total black-out, then suddenly the entire room and immediate area (closet) were drenched in blue light. I began to sing "My Room" by the Beach Boys because I sure as **** wasn't at Fulton County Stadium on May 4th, 1973. Nothing but blue. Next came the "smoke" of dry ice. It was like London fog in blue. I guess, never been out of South Carolina, The Mississippi of the East. Yes it was "Stairway to Heaven" time. Boy was I suprised at what came next. Tiger Boy jumped on my Philco and killed the turntable. this was the day I decided to kill him. Suddenly I released hundreds and hundreds of white fleas! It didn't quite work out as planned. Except for the few that momentarilly circled, they basically just flew away. **** me again. But there was no disappointment. Those first few notes of "Stairway" took us where I needed to be. Up the stairs to the cool breasts of my Mommy. There, in the moment listening to the most famous song in the world. I turned and looked at my Mommy, Judy ( "Judy blue eyes"), and she said... "Mark, get your goddamned hands off my tits and go to sleep. You have school in the morning". my son is a freak --- Mark |
