"A Farewell To A.R.M.S."

[Antwan]

Pride,fan and karoake....life is gooooood. I plan to be there for that Queenie. I'll have to roll in at about 10:45. Don't let the festivities end before then.

I learned to scuba dive when I was 9 yrs old. My father was a diver and taught lessons in the mid south for years. Spear fishing contests were the rage when I was young and my father and I use to travel and win these things all the time. Carp was the fish of choice and we would bring in 100 to 350 lbs in a day. They had a month long contest that ended on the 4th of July Picnic for AEDC. Dad brought in 1900 lbs for the month. That's a lot of Carp or Crap, whichever you prefer. We would run full throttle into a cove and make a hard 90 degree turn as we would leap off the boat at about 25 mph. Upon impact, carp would be everywhere. They are very curious. The noise would attract them. That was our secret to success. Sometimes he would come up with 3 at one time. We learned from the locals how to prepare them. And yes, you were right about eating the board and throwing the carp away. lol

Anyway, that's what I did growing up. Travel diving as opposed to travel ball. Lived on the lakes 24/7!!!

Yes, Twan...life is good...and at 10:45...that's good... just be careful walking through the yard...cause...ya know...sometimes...people nap...after a Beehive Blowout!...

 

And fan...I plan on being awake and aware for this...the karoake thing is going to be sooooooo funny...so I may have to pace myself...

 

The carp is soaking in some water that lays in the parking lot of M&J Diner...have to soften the tough skin up...should be good...

 

Del...I meant to tell you in my last post...I'm going to save a couple of our tournament shirts for you and your boy...they're cool...so get me sizes...and we'll go from there... my email is jesthem@hotmail.com...

Queenie..what can I say...the hivejive was a smashing success. It was full of song and such.(lots of "such" in fact) We had a great time. And Twan Jr. let me touch "The Ball". What more can a UT man ask for. Thanks for the invite...if anybody wants to know how to fix carp...look no futher..the Queen can hook you up.

 

Fan(......)

You're right fan, Queenie is definitely the hostess with the mostess. Anyone that can make carp taste good is alright in my book.

[QueenBee]

Well...another Beehive Blowout has come and gone...and evebyone is still alive...which is a good thing...

 

I'm glad you had a good time...we did too...not even a threat of a headache this morning...

 

Bet you didn't realize we had such talented coaches and teachers in our system...they are good...

 

The carp went quick...poor SCPride will be picking that brown streak out of his teeth for a month!...

 

I'm thinking we'll be having another one in the not too distant future...maybe we can get a couple of these posters to show their faces...

[DelTavian]

Sounds like a party to me. Give me enough advance notice and the boy and I will come if someone's got an extra couch.

 

QueenBee, you can consider yourself, fan and twan invited to the Labor Day weekend fish fry. (Sunday) Sorry to say though there will be no carp cooked in my pot. You'll have to live with cat, many kinds of bass, stripe, rock, crappie and anything else that is on my good list. Bring your own drink and your own lawn chair.

 

Be prepared though. There will be former and current members of the U.S. Army here. They may do combat rolls at any time.

 

Del (who is the king of FanAds for this month, and who spent half the day building a TV, VCR, DVD, tape stand. I'm tired of the ones from Wal-Mart falling apart. I built one out of 2x4s and 2x2s.)

[QueenBee]

An extra couch???...for the right price fanman can make sure you even get to take the couch home with you!!!...he has some inside pull on that...don't you worry about it... there are even extra beds available...

 

Del...if you've seen fan, Twan and Twan Jr. eat...then you'll be out there fishing for carp...just to make sure you have enough for the rest of your friends...at least the good stuff anyway...are combat rolls like egg rolls?...

 

The TV stand sounds like it's going to be there for eternity...good job...

 

About those fan ads...I thank you for beating Ezell... but I'm appalled by the other schools that wouldn't even place one on here...they don't mind getting on here and running their mouths...but they sure don't seem to be wanting to help support coachT too much...just wait til football season...Smith County's record right now is 33 fan ads...I know we'll beat that...think anyone else will???...
