Yep, I can attest, it was wall to wall fun...I was 19 in '69, and bulletproof.
(we got away with stuff, love that statute of limitations!)
When iasooner inquired it crossed my mind, maybe a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, 'If 6 was 9' tune.
Do I really need to explain it, again?
Yes. Yes you do.Do I really need to explain it, again?

Hey Ms. J..... glad to see you!

Cool, a sockless sighting...you never looked better babe!
When I first joined the military the bunch of guys I hung out at my first duty location said I sounded like a hick with my Oklahoma country accent. That was the mid 90s and Billyray Cyrus was the big thing I guess. So I earned the nickname BillyRay just because of my accent and it stuck. Literally everyone called me that and never used my real name. Then again we all had "nicknames" we called each other. Some of those buddies I still keep in touch with still call me nothing but BillyRay. I'm convinced some of them wouldn't even know my real name if you asked them. hah
I have a close friend that I only knew as "Cracker" for the first 3 or 4 years that I knew him.
I was so pissed when I heard one of his other friends call him by his real name that I just yelled, NNNOOOOOO!!!!!
Yep, I get that.
I know a guy named 'Clown'.
Everybody calls him that.
I don't even want to know his real name. It would just kill the mystique or whatever.
From Overland Park, Kansas. Used to post as opksooner at Soonerfans.
OU alum, '54. Seems like I remember a guy with lots of numbers in his screen name.

What a great idea & execution of a thread fitty! Anything that can drag the leggy one back (or any other greats from OUr past) is golden ! Well done sir.
I guess from your posts you are sitting home tonight leaving 22 alone to his own devices...

Yep, I'm housing it tonight and 22 is sitting right in front of '22'.
Also, thanks. I had no idea this would get the 'legs' that it has...thanks to all the participants.
You all are the best!
And big Woods congrats on your new gal ! I would camp out in there (I never heard, was that last gal one of the Hiltons?)
No, a resemblance but, not a Hilton.
I'm pretty OD'd on that group of posers.
Sex tapes, sex changes, geez, get a real job...
The name of my two dogs at the time, Micco and Macey.
Micco was named for my hero when I was in high school, Micco Haney. He was a senior when I was a sophomore, and the son of former Senator and world-famous Native American painter Enoch Kelly Haney. He was an outstanding athlete, especially as a wrestler (my main sport). I dislocated my elbow in practice that year, so Micco dedicated the next match in my honor. Broke the school record for points scored in a match (30...prior to tech falls) against John Marshall.
Micco was killed in a car crash graduation night his senior year. He had already accepted a scholarship to wrestle for Oscar Rose Junior College, and it all came to a halt that night. He was headed back home to his wife who was pregnant and had already had a false labor earlier that day.
About 15 years ago I was at a Shawnee Wolves football game and got to sit next to Micco's mom, Mary. She handed me a program and pointed down onto the field. There was Micco Haney Jr, who was born a few months after the wreck. She told me to go down there after the game and say hi. I really did want to go down there on the field and tell that young man what a great person his Dad was, but I knew I couldn't do it. I knew I would just stand there in front of this seventeen year old kid and cry like a baby. No words, just sobs.
I've since Facebooked Micco Jr and we've talked a little. He was pretty understanding when I told him.
My wife picked out the name Macey. Not sure if she has a cool story behind picking that name or not.

I heard your name was Bilious Coltrane...is that wrong?
I just thought you were a jazz musician with that name.
Mine is due to the fact that Absolutezero is the coldest possible temperature at −459.67° F. Being as cool (and modest I might add) as I am, it seemed to fit.

I just figured your name was Kelvin.
Nope, my name is exceptionally ordinary. I hide in plain sight because there are millions of us.
Great story tapeworm. I was wondering how you came up with that one. Classic!
Reminds me of an anecdote from a long time ago.
My sweet sister has always had weight issues. At her biggest she went around 260 @ 5' 10". She got one of those bypass operations two years ago and has plateaued at about 160.
At any rate, we've always given each other 'gag' gifts.
So, one of her birthdays about 20 years ago, I bought her a T-shirt that said. 'I beat anorexia'.
She actually wore it too.
She was an extremely good sport.
Mine is my hobby...chasing tornadoes. Been doing it since my OU days dating back to 1984. to this day...the Moore EF-5 in 2013 was the worst and most violent I have seen. I now live in KC (Overland Park actually).
OMG! I remember this story about Micco! Daddy taught at ORJC from the time they opened til he retired in 1991. In fact, he was the lifeblood of their history department for many, many years!
<3 Thanks for the tears on a Sunday afternoon! <3
Not trying to be a wiseacre; how many naders have you caught ? I lived in Tulsa until I was 24 and saw a few in the daylight and lived through many tough nights but never chased any.
I must let nail know about soonerinlOUisiana. We thought the Comanches got him. nail thought maybe he just became irked by this board's transition to soft. At any rate I just saw the SiL post. Gotta go enlighten nail.
SiL, nail is at poliforums.freeforums.net. I'm the only "token". I thought I was just a traitor, Uncle Tom and house boy. Now I'm a token.
When my son was around four years old. Every time OU would score or make a big play, I would yell OU Baby! He thought that was the team name lol. He would tell me daddy OU Baby on tv.That was around 1999.
Funny, my former handle was Ohyoutitletime...
Then after about 7 years without winning said title, it became kind of pathetic so I changed it to what it is now.
Year I graduated OU Law School. Also NROTC. They Navy sent me orders to New York, then to an aircraft carrier and wound up in San Francisco. Love it but try to get back to Norman every few years for a game. Like Tic-Toc's story. Alko Husker the only guy who every got me banned after I had a few and let loose on the Husker board about some taunt of his. Stupid I know. A few years later the mods let me back on before an OU-Neb. game. I had served my sentence.
