"I met Dock on the front porch of a lady friend's house in 1962," recalls Rambo. "He drove up in a 1959 four-door Chevy Impala with 'The Nut' written on the rear windshield. He walked up and told me he was a singer. I asked him to sing and he said he only did it for money."</i><br /><br />Awesome.Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438801388377581634.post-56039004650142046082009-11-14T12:24:01.753-08:002009-11-14T12:24:01.753-08:00Forgotten link.<a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2009/09/just-what-the-doc-ordered-lsd-and-the-strangest-moment-in-major-league-history.html" rel="nofollow">Forgotten link</a>.J—https://www.blogger.com/profile/18170012454374960050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438801388377581634.post-76328612713314163662009-11-14T12:23:32.072-08:002009-11-14T12:23:32.072-08:00I have a vague recollection of my dad telling me a...I have a vague recollection of my dad telling me about this one when I was a kid.

First they had me working at the Holiday Inn, but while I was there the restaurant burned down one night (remind me to tell you about evacuating a hotel at three am in a raging storm - I saw shit I could NOT believe) so they transfered me to this car lot that was having some kind of union trouble.<br /><br />So I'm the security guard at this car dealership and it's late and I'm having trouble staying awake, so in the interest, you know, of <i>getting the job done</i> I ate a couple hits of some blotter.<br /><br />The next morning, there was significant damage to the car lot, and I was nowhere to be found. I never went back to that company. And no, I am not really sure how I managed to get TWO little cars stacked on top of a van conversion. But damn I wish they had digital cameras back then...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438801388377581634.post-18838668619901448222009-11-13T16:23:38.512-08:002009-11-13T16:23:38.512-08:00So much for claims of athletic ability & so on...So much for claims of athletic ability & so on.
