Because of all the Nancies on this board
Brewing - We did consume some “interesting” cuisine on the other side of the Rio Grande, and I always laughingly noted that our favorite traditional Mexican food restaurant in Juarez was “conveniently located“ right across the street from the town’s biggest bull fighting ring. ”Excuse me waiter, but why do my beef tamales still have a puja in them?”So, is barbequed iguana everything they say it is?
We were “wild and crazy,” to say the least!
Lundy was a master, and his ratings were astronomical. Great guy, too.Not at all. Those old station call letters bring back memories. Haven’t thought KFJZ in years. It was of our two to AM rock stations in late 60s and early 70s. In HS one night in Houston a couple of us went down to KILT (on Lovett?) To try and get Steve Lundy (2 in a row on the Steve Lundy Show) to play something. We all thought there’d be some fancy building, but it seemed to be a crappy 3 or 4 story building with foil on the broadcast room window. Don’t recall if he played anything, but did yell hi out the window.
Haven’t thought of that song in a while. We put it on the “mix tape” CD we gave to everyone at one of our more recent HS reunions. Wore it out back in the day.So, is barbequed iguana everything they say it is?
I went to high school and played soccer with a guy named Rhett Kramer in the late 90s. I said a lot of things to and about him that were funny to only me.No kidding, I met a guy today who is named Rex Kramer. At least, that's what his nametag said. And he's from a generation that would be unlikely to have remembered the character names from Airplane. Kinda wish that when he introduced himself, I'd have responded with, "Surely, you must be joking." But he's from a generation that is unlikely to have found that funny.
My dad (his card-playing buddy) said he had served as a submarine captain. So tonight I hit the Google, and sure enough, that's his name.
Doesn't look like sangria in that marg.Because Jerry Jeff is (was, God rest his soul) my spirit animal and Sangria Wine is among my favorite of his songs. I use it on other random boards as well. My current avatar is me with two of my all time favorite Frogs, Brian Estridge and GMFP.
On the old original board I was something totally different and TCU specific, but I can’t remember what it was.
Oh and I love that Sangria Wine when I drink it with old friends of mine!
Thanks for the story about XEROK--the top-40 a.m. station of my youth. Can still hear the echoes of the station ID: "Equis Eh Ere Oh Kah...Juárez, México."In between those jobs, I made stops at KEEL in Shreveport (twice), XEROK in El Paso (oh, the stories I could tell!)...
I told you it was more than you wanted to hear.

That Viva Terlingua album is so good. I’ve listened to it hundreds of timesBecause Jerry Jeff is (was, God rest his soul) my spirit animal and Sangria Wine is among my favorite of his songs.

You’re welcome but without folks like you chiming in it would have been just another flop.Joe is my real name and "Showtime Joe" was the nickname I picked up for two reasons in the 1990s when I was still living in my native Detroit.
First, I was a trial lawyer back then and I became known for delivering incredible closing arguments. Unfortunately, when it came to everything else a lawyer does in a trial, like direct examinations, cross-examinations, introducing evidence, raising proper and timely objections, I sucked. And I learned the hard way that you can't always win over a jury with a great closing argument since, for some reason, a lot of jurors actually pay attention to the evidence. Anyway, one day, as I was about to give my closing argument at the end of a weeklong trial, my client turned to me with great anticipation and said, "Now, it's showtime!" And the name stuck from there.
Secondly, also back in Detroit, I used to emcee a lot of rock'n'roll and rockabilly concerts (and very occasionally still do in DFW today) and I used to take the stage, grab the microphone, and, in my best, stentorian announcer's voice declare, "It's Showtime in the Motor City!" So, I was known on stage and in the courtroom as Showtime Joe.
Finally, thank you, Prince of Purpoole II, for starting one of the best off-season threads ever!
