Greenwood County, Kansas is an interesting place, full of interesting people. One of them happens to be a fellow named Brian Wilson Boatwright. Everyone calls him Boaty. I've known him since the sixth grade. He's a fan of the blog, which I appreciate. Anyhoo, we chatted the other day about the good ol' days - "What about the time they jammed us into the job of filming football games. Jesus, Little Dick was pissed off about that." We were freshman, the football coach was Coach Little, Boaty often referred to him as Coach Little Dick - it was funny back in the day:
"Yeah, we were so stupid we didn't even consider the camera might have an audio feature to it. I will admit this to you - even though we only filmed one game it was a memorable one - too bad we don't have a copy of that film," I say as I recall the incident - The film consisted of us extending vulgar comments to Coach LD & others as we taped the game. Again - unbeknownst to the two Mensa members at the time - their voices were being recorded - "Goddammit that was funny Boaty," I add with another laugh, "I remember how you did your announcers voice and said - 'The head coach of the Madison High Bulldogs! Coach Little Dick!"
As I am wiping the tears from my eyes he adds - "What about the time I was taking a dump and you kicked the door open on the stall and it knocked me off the toilet." Remember it was high school - the thing back then was to kick the stall open on one of your buddies when they weren't expecting it and then yell - "Raid!" Again, it was high school - "You know I do remember that. I remember going dark for a minute after you punched me." No one was ever suppose to get hurt from it, but shit happens - "When I came to I started swinging and Mr. Bolen walked in at the time and broke it up. It wasn't funny then but looking back all I can do is laugh," I tell him with a snicker - "The good ol' days buddy. They sure were a lot of fun."
We chat about the weather for a minute and then I suggest - "I'm talking to Mad Max & Roy about coming out towards the end of June for pool season. It is always a lot of fun. Why don't you come out when they do & will make it a Bulldog reunion in the desert - Lots of cool art exhibits and tattoo parlors. You know Las Vegas isn't all casinos," I add with a laugh, "I could give you the Village Idiot street tour. I believe someone like you would appreciate it."
