Yep, dad.

When *we* were stoned hippies, much was made of the fact that West Chester PA has an intersection: High and Gay Sts.

Yep. You can come in High and go out Gay, or come in Gay and go out High.

They also build a water tower every time a virgin graduates.

So they don't have a water tower yet? :rolleyes:

My late grandfather. He instilled in me some actual work ethic (which I sorely needed) and took the time to teach me his trade before he passed on. If I live my life to be half the man he was than I am doing good.

Thanks Bruce,
he is my hero too.

Like all the tell all bios, I learned so much more about my Dad now that he's passed, and now that the shenanigans have begun.

More on that in another thread.

I need to think on this awhile.

I often muse on Jimmy Carter being the only US president who knew that "harass" was not two words. But that alone doesn't confer hero status.


A guy from my dad's neighborhood is a contender based on this one fact I know about him:

Every December 7th he'd go out to a Japanese restaurant and order a huge meal, drinks, dessert, etc. then he'd beat the check. There was something about that which was so quixotic, mad, futile, wrong, bizarre, hilarious, that it escapes any categorization.

Did I leave out Michael Merjeh?
