Buffett Drink Ticket Found in Book

He pocketed said bookmark and brought it to me, the much larger PH. Isn't that crazy? We are native to Ohio, though been here in Texas forever, it seems (1989), and he comes across this ticket in a book in an old bookstore down here. Wild, huh?

So if I'm reading this correctly you have your own Peanut Butter Conspiracy going on here. Your telling us that your dead old dad stole the book mark/slash drink ticket from the used book dealer? You know that's shoplifting! Did he have someone watching the big round mirror? And does he plan on paying back the store when he hits it big? Man, you can lord this over him for the rest of his days or until the statue of limitations runs it's course.

I guess we do at that! I'll have to ask my dad about it. He might have asked the shopkeep, but I don't seem to recall him mentioning that...

*plans blackmail now*

And SeattleParrotHead-thanks. I do not know if he has since found the book or not. I'll try to check discreetly over the next day or so.

Parrothead216....yes I remember that! And at the end of the show they had horse cops herding people out of the venue and the horses would turn around and hit people and drunk people would fly everywhere.

Total ball drop on that night for the venue and the police. Pretty scary stuff.

Don't kill yourself, my friend.

But if it turns up, let me know. And I will find out if it is still needed, as well.

Yes and Buckeye Lake was really just a mud pit in the hills of southern Ohio!!

Do you remember the water trough they had. They sent water down this wooden thing with a liner and if you wanted water, you went up and suckled like a PIG!!!!!

We paid for "reserved seating" meaning you had a chair instead of sitting on the grass. When we got into the "Reserved Area" and went up to an usher to find our seat. They said oh you have a problem, you have to talk to that man over there.

We went to talk to him and he said, well the problem is that they moved the sound tower and your seats DON'T EXSIST!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said in my most polite voice,

What the hell do you mean the seats don't exsist!!!! They better exsist or I'll sue you and Ticketmaster and I'll own this F%&*^%^ing Venue!

I said we drove down here from Cleveland to this hole in the ground, we were parked is some Farmers F&^$%%%^ing corn field, 2 miles away, we were herded like G@#% D@$%^^ cattle through the gates and Now you tell me our seats don't exsist?

What do you intend on doing?

He said well we can sit you all the way over there on the right or left side in the front, but they brought a higher stage and I'm not sure you will be able to see the stage, or I can refund your money and you can go home.!!!!!!

At that point the show was starting and my wife said what about these seats around the sound tower? They said that they couldn't let anyone sit there because of safety concerns and my usually less them vocal wife said, I have had enough!!!! The G%&&&&$ D*^%^% show is starting and I am sitting over there and I want to see you try to STOP ME!!!!!

You know what....NO ONE TRIED!!!!

Soon I'll post another episode about Buckeye Lake!!! The Saga Continues!!!
