re: TulaneLSU's Top 10 show and tell time

TulaneLSU,

What a very intriguing topic. Allow me if you will to share ten mementos from my life



Top to bottom:
-Super Bowl 16 license plate purchase for $1 at an antique store in Cuero TX as a youth. It essentially sparked my interest in antique
-Cleveland Browns helmet purchased at the nfl hall of fame gift shop. Went with late uncle as a youth and figured purchase of an Ohio team was warranted
-Maternal grandfathers flask he used to take on the train to Iowa football games
-Late Uncle’s pebble beach hat. He did in fact play it and this was purchased from the gift shoppe
-1946 ky derby race program, only triple crown winner bred in Texas
-1999 big 12 championship watch
-1935 nola fg race program because I was too lazy to find a 10th item
-1992 Boston Redsox, the year of my paternal grandfathers death
-Paternal grandfathers classic lighter (he was not a smoker)
-Michael Schumacher toy car


Thank you for giving me a chance to share with you. I hope I have entertained, delighted, and brought some of my story to you as well.

I look forward to further topics,

Your truly,

Winston Cup Esquire

Friend,

Thank you for sharing those beautiful items with us. I was particularly drawn to your uncle's Pebble Beach hat. I hope more will be generous in their photos and stories.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

i was hoping others would participate as well. it was a nice start to my day to reminisce about things. i ended up reading the wikipedia page for the 92 red sox

Thanks TL for calling out the inanity of NPR icon Andrei Codrescu's writing. Almost gives you a pass for throwing shade on Mrs. Burrow's taste in decor.

Yes, I proposed to her in front of a large crowd at the restaurant. She said no and left me alone with the ring while Mother waited at Morning Call.

Perhaps LSU Coyote can make a similar piece

She said no and left me alone with the ring while Mother waited at Morning Call. I still have the ring. With my 1928 edition of the Book of Common Prayer, I am never without this ring. I live in the hope of encountering that lovely lady again. Perhaps if Providence brings us together, she will remember and she will, by this ring, see how steadfast and loyal I am.

I knew you were a single virgin living with your mom.

NORMAN. DAMN. BATES.

Start a top 10 Tom Fitzmorris show callers

I’m sort of disappointed no one wanted to participate
