yeah not tough at all.   

Yea, my high school (Brookline High) is one of the worst in the country right now probably.......

[bman]

Bman grew up on a farm in a small town in south jersey called Woodstown.  Bman grew up about 2 miles from a place called "Cowtown" which has a rodeo every Saturday night in the summer.

A good way to get in a fight was to wear a polo shirt to a place called the "friendly" tavern after the rodeo got out....

Chaw was mandatory to getting playing time in most sports in Woodstown (Including Golf).  Our Chemistry teacher chewed for so long, he no longer had to spit, so he chewed while teaching......he was also Bmans linebacker coach...

Bman is now white collar, but impressed his in-laws last summer, with his ability to milk a cow at a county fair....

[Knightstalker]

gently squeeze and pull at the same time, gently squeeze and pull.  KS first job was baling hay and milking cows.  KS grew up a quarter mile from the farm, knew how to drive a tractor before he could drive a car.

That same bar is in Hunterdon county on rt 173 in pattonburg on jugtown mountain.  It is called the Landslide Saloon, or the Mudslide by the regulars.  They have both kinds of music there, Country and Western and if you ain't wearing jeans and a t-shirt or flannel shirt you better be ready to fight.  Don't even want to know what would happen to a euro-light man in capri pants and sandals who walked into the place.  The bouncer was huge and the strongest man KS has ever met.  Never saw him have to throw a punch, throw a couple of guys but never throw a punch.  Kind of looked like Tinker from Roadhouse.

I will also add that LD11 quarterbacked the Pelham-Windham(NH) Razorbacks to the 1990 NH Pee Wee Pop Warner state title and were the 1992 NH Midgets Pop Warner Runners Up. 

LD11's little league team, the Angels, won the league championship 3 years out of 4 from ages 9-12.

LD11's biddy basketball team, the Pacers, also won the under 12 league 3 consecutive years.

Also in 1990, LD11 was selected for the 11 and under NH AAU Basketball squad which travelled to Orlando, FL to compete against other state representatives from all over the country.

In 1992, LD11's mom told him he was 'handsome'.

In 1999, 'Gro's mom told LD11 he was 'a catch'.

In 2001, 'Reg's mom told LD11 that she wished her son was as good looking as LD11.

If you end up face to face with Chris Hanson, you have an excuse.  I hope none of those Jersey cats from tonight's episode were JT or KS.....

Tossing Pickle Baskets sounds like something the 3 Amigos would do at the PlayaHataReunion after LD plays his guitar.....

"tossing pickle baskets"

That is now on my list of things I will do before I die.

[Senor RedTackle]

RT didn't notice on the list "inseminating cattle". RT had a friend who grew up on a farm in Canton, NY and they had livestock. He used to tell RT of the task of reaching, shoulder deep, up the cows nether region to plant a banana-sized tube full of cow love sauce. Fortunately, he did get to wear a glove.........

[Knightstalker]

On the dairy farm that KS worked on they did it the old fashioned way.  they had two bulls.

I forgot about birthing a calf though, that was a pretty nasty job.  Same thing alot of times, reaching way into the nether regions to turn the calf so it comes out the right way.

18 and up for JT.  Also PP is JT's only internet chat place.

Bman left out the animal related tasks on purpose.  

Bman never calved and the farm never had enough livestock to get the "Sire Power" folks out....

Tossing pickle baskets (for those who have never had the pleasure) was one of the most god awful things to do...

After the pickles were picked(is that the start of a rhyme?) the baskets were moved to the end of the row.  A tractor would pull a cart with bins along the row.  2 or 3 people would walk along side of the cart, then pick up baskets and toss them up to someone standing in the bin, who would hook the bottom of the basket, flipping it, dumping the pickles in the bin.  In one motion, that individual would then toss the empty to the other side...
The baskets weighed about 40-50 pounds when full, and after a couple hunder or so (in 90 degree heat) one was thouroghly miserable....

Bman always wanted to be the basket flipper, but never made it high enough in the pecking order to get that job....
