O/T: An Extended Meaning

[Lew Hodgett]

--------------------------------- Naw, just a displaced Buckeye who required 50 years in Northern Ohio to figure it out.

A little slow I'll admit, but we figured it out.

"A _little_ slow"?

It's not cold unless the snot freezes to your moustache and forms snotsicles ...

It only took me to 27 to figure it out. Toledo is colder than NC. Usually!

[Lobby Dosser]

Toledo? What HS? Only took me 19.

--------------------- Any plans for a 50th renunion in 2011?

Lew

[Lobby Dosser]

Couple of folks have talked about that, but nothing firm. Be a shame not to. Maybe someplace like Hawaii.

[Lew Hodgett]

------------------------------------- Do to the hard work of a group of classmates, we have held a reunion every 5 years since about the 15th-20th one.

The 50th was the big one, had about 100 show up.

Had the 55th this past September, but I didn't get back.

If you can pull it off, it's worth the effort.

My mom and a couple cousins went there. Neither one was around in your time there.

You calling me an old fart?

I was all of 3 years old when you graduated.

People usually think of others as old when the other is 15 years older, or more.

My math says that this test fits when applied to you. So, yes, I guess me calling you an old fart could be justified!

But "fart"?

Ya' got to wonder where that name came from?
