It's also thanksgiving Eve and if you want the Great Turkey to bring you presents you should dig out yer copy of Alice's Resteraunt and Play it several times on Thanksgiving.

And they didn't really live in the church but in the bell tower nearby and that had lots of room where the pews used to been, since they took all all the pews. They decided they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long long time.

Officer Obby died several years ago I heard it on Paul Harvey.  He and Arlo became friends and he loved to song.   Most likely played it on thanksgiving.

Del..Didn't Hoyt Axton play Obie in the movie? He died a couple years ago also.

Seems like thats right.  Used to go to the dollar midnite movies and see suvh things.  Once we saw a double feature "High on the Range" and "Reefer Madness"  Course we also watched  "200 Motels"  now all they have at midnite is "The Rocy Horror Picture show" not even a good bad movie and the people that go there are weird.

Do they still have the midnight movies? They were a big part of our social life when I was in high school. I saw Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail at the mid-flicks! Of course, all the dopers would sit near the front and throw popcorn at each other.

Thenk yew, Litl' Rooster! Are you saying I am no longer a nut?


When I was a senior, I had English class right after lunch. One brown-nosing guy would actually bring apples for the teacher of that class and set the apple on her desk before she arrived. She'd always pick up the apple and grace the boy with a wide smile and a thank you.

One day, I brought a beautiful and large apple to school. All morning long, I gently bounced the apple on my desks. Bounce, turn, bounce, turn. As the day progressed, that apple was still large and beautiful, with no signs of damage, but the bouncing had turned the insides to mush.

After lunch, the boy's apple was swapped out with mine. The teacher arrived, saw the apple, smiled at the boy, and picked it up. Her fingers sunk into the apple, she got a look of abject horror, and she dropped it.

Ah, it was a small thing, but it was grand and glorious.

Yes we have one that does Annie but every Friday night they do the RHPS.   


We sat in the balcony, the usher would say smokin' or non-smokin' and we'd laugh and go upstairs, later he'd stop up.

I went to the Insomnia Theatre when I was at college, '84-'85. I think it was Saturday nites. Drove the 45 miles from Pt. Lookout to Springfield, MO. I think the theatre was in or by the Battlefield Mall.
