A few words from the Editor,
Ok, we're back. If you remember I stated in the last edition of "The West Cherry Street Times" that we would never be that late again, well, I lied. Yeah that's right, I lied. I didn't intend on lying, but I did. So, now that that's out of the way, Let's get started.
Can anyone, without looking, remember just what was in the last edition? here's a few reminders...
'Twas The Night Before Sunday by Sandra Nutting.
A 36 line poem describing the horror of a daring terrorist attack in 1993 in
which a cowboy crashed a Suburban into the garage of "The West Cherry Street
Times" intergallactic headquarters. No one was hurt or injured, but the
trauma delayed the next edition for almost 9 years.
New Subscribers
Claude Holsapple and Jim
Alexander were welcomed as they received their first issue. I REALLY
hope they liked it, it had to last them for a while.
The Rockets Red Glare!
A gripping report on how Wes Alexander won
the "Rocket Catching" contest by using his thighs. A record that still
stands unchallenged since 1993.
The Magic Kingdom
Paul Morton's contribution to the "West
Cherry Street Times National Meeting and Stress Seminar" in 1993. Even
though "Playing Pirate" was received with less than enthusiastic response,
Paul continues to work on perfecting the
Kingdom's entertainment programs. He must be doing well, because after 9 years
his trip to Brookhaven has not been cancelled. He's still on the waiting list.
Sports
The Monday Night Football Group had begun what was to be their last of
11 seasons and was one by yours truly. Cay Wall
had found her niche in sports by betting on the dogs in Galveston. The "Death
Penguins" were formed as Fantasy Football became popular and did well in
their first year, thanks to Eddie Alexander's
excellent draft consultation and the Ben E. Keith corporation's excellent distribution
of Budweiser. The "Death Penguins" went to the playoffs in their first
year.
Teri's Topics
Teri Rohm, before she had more last names
than Cheri, previewed her article on whatever
she wanted to talk about. We hope to have her back. If you don't see it soon,
I'll publish her email address and we can all flame her until she does.
Food Fetishes
Due to the unique sense of humor of some of our readers,
this topic will be discontinued in future issues.
"Buttface" News
Our most famous and popular monthly, whenever, column. I'll try to do
one more, soon.
Lost and Found
If you kept up with all of the people who were moving, and to where, in the
last few years, GET A LIFE! Or, I guess I could do an "Updates" section,
but it would take three pages. What do you think? Want to find somebody? Keep
those cards and letters comin'. We'll track 'em down.
Personality Profile
After doing our profile on KP. We followed
up with a profile on Pat Alexander, (Hi
mom!). Who's next?
Well, there it is, or was. A lot, and I do mean a lot, of changes have taken place since then. Keeping up with all of them is next to impossible. I'm looking forward to any contribution anyone would like to make, (see disclaimer in "Fame or Blame" section). It's for everyone to have a little fun. Note: The "Bad News" section will always be "Under Construction".
