    Mixed Feelings

    Another one of my drinking buddies from "those days" passed away. I couldn't help but laugh a little after reading this.......

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Damn, too bad he wasn't around long enough to finally give that grizzly bear what it deserved. His friends must have some crazy ass stories though!

    RIP

    Re: Mixed Feelings

    I never got any pictures of Kevin wrestling the bear, but here's his brother Scott being pinned by another adversary. (kind of gives an idea how crazy they were.)

    I gotta get to know Johnny better.

    Your friend is someone I would have liked to have met.

    Re: Mixed Feelings

    Johnny B is tame now. He used up most of his wild. He still hasn't given a good reason for the full on DEVO suit. And no, acid and vodka aren't good answers.

    Your friend seemed to be a life loving free spirit. That brings me back to when those places were my stomping grounds. May he rest in peace with the marshes and beaches his playground for ever.

    Do I really need a better reason? The 3D glasses go good with acid.

    Sounds like he was happy with the simple things in life. Budweiser and wrestling grizzly bears.
