As somewhat of a followup, only cuz I reveil in harassing him and Applegate anytime I can, that following Dec. I got our Oregon Herp Society to fly John out to be our annual banquet Guest Speaker> He finally flew into Eugene Friday morn after having to spend the night before at the Portland airport as his flight got fogged in. Welp I picked him up and of course he wanted a bit to eat so we stopped at the first Burger King as no DQ's or McDonalds weren't in sight (ya know John's appetite!)
Well he gave a great slide show and talk that night on "herp'n the Trans-pecos" As he was to spend the weekend at our house (I had him right where I wanted him) the following night,and as per usual when John can't be online as I was, he settled in for his next best thing - watching old movies on tape. While doing so I sorta um..turned the thermostat all the way up. Long 'bout an hr later John comes stomping thru the kitchen yell'n, "GOD-ALMIGHTY!..it's hotter in here than in W. Texas in AUGUST!" Now Sund. morn. we were having breakfast at home and I'd been tell'n John bout this vegetable extract called Marmite, same as Vegemite but saltier..gee fergot to tell him that or the fact it's NOT to be smeared on toast like p-butter but just grazed on toast. Welp, ole John lathers up his toast and takes a nice bite, dang I wished I'd had my camcorder - suddenly he makes this God-awful face and couldn't spit it out quick 'nough (all over my kitchen floor) along w/unmentionable words! Sun afternoon we got him to the airport and I often wondered if he was never so happy to be flying home Stay tunned, there will be other stories when I next meetup John...he's such a prime target!
