yes, lived in Albuquerque for 3 years, and it was an obligation at Balloon festival time in October of every year

how far down in the water have you gone?

I touched the bottom of the pool at Bas' house. It was real deep.

Do you ever crave the mushroom swiss burger from Hardee's, even though you've not eaten one in over a decade?

Hardee's nah! that establishment never caught on in Tejas, much like roach, er, I mean Jack in the Box.

Would you like to go back where the A&W stand had the girls that rollerskated to your car?

Um no, absolutely not?

Why would you ask such a thing?

Too much of an insurance risk.

Don't you think?

(How was that for following the rules, BB?)

I have to agree, BowlingQueen. And very nice way of following the rules, ma'am.

Am I just goofy, or does anyone else think of Bowling Green when they see BowlingQueen's name?

I do, I DO!!!

You think we are the only two?

Heh....I like my name.

I know I'm new to these here parts, but what is "BaconBoy" supposed to stand for anyway?

naw, I guess I do too!

Why are men in Kentucky lucky?

You know you want to answer this yourself.

So, why?

watch it my Queen!!! I am already on probation for being moderated!!!!


Are there still as many bowling alleys in the upper Midwest as there were 50 years ago?

Nope, PR. They're shutting down like worn out batteries.



I stand for affordable pork products, easy access to red kool-ade, punishing Reg D violators, watching Charmed and dining out a new restaurants. I enjoy brisk walks on hot sidewalks, scary movies, collecting belt buckles and sneaking vodka into the theater. BTW, I don't know who posted my name on urban dictionary, but don't believe everything you read.

Is that what you were asking about?

TMI, BB, TMI...

Does anyone else think that BB's belt buckles are too big for his skinny ol' body?

Ah - after all of that bacon that he's been eating, maybe not too much any more.



What shall we do today - definitely not work - how about we head to the beach with some good food and frosty beverages?

ok, we will make today a pre-July 4th holiday

what exactly would be a "frosty" beverage?

Frosty beverage for me is a nice big ice tea but for most it is probably some type of alcoholic drink

What is your favorite frosty beverage for a hot day at the beach?

Well, we could start with a cooler full of Miller Chill...

Any other suggestions?

I think I agree with Corky - when it's hot, alcohol is not a good thing; so make mine a nice Cherry Fizze.


What's your price for gas these days?

In the suburbs of Chicago around $4.15 a gallon. In Chicago add maybe .10 to that - tax.

Are you driving less? (she says as she heads off to a corporate meeting 46 miles round trip )

Close enough for hand grenades and horse shoes. BTW, though there have been alot of bowling alleys closing over the recent years, there are still plenty around. There are 7 different centers within a 15 miles from my house.

So, what do you have to say about that?

I say bowling is a winter sport and Wisconsin has plenty of that!

What happens to all those red and black rental bowling shoes, you never see any in a goodwill store?

I don't wanna know.

So, do you think bowling is going to be as big in Texas as it is in Wisconsin since the headquarters are moving down by you?

among the seniors yeah, are you seasoned enough to join the league?

I hide in my office with the blinds drawn and the door closed...

Do you have any good tricks?
