Jim Katen Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Congratulations, Jimmy. I'm happy for you. When I first started reading this thread, I thought you had finally found a way to make the pornstar thing work out, but I suppose that corresponding for The Globe is a close second. Be sure to stop by and say hi from time to time. I wish you all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 You screwed up Chad. You need to get it autographed so that in 50 years your descendants can sell it on Pawn Stars and say, "My Grandaddy knew Jim Morrison before he won the Pulitzer!" [] ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Les Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Remember - that was at Jim's wedding that we did not get invited to. Fabry lounging along the east coast and eatin' caviar! hope caviar is spelt rite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Remember - that was at Jim's wedding that we did not get invited to. Fabry lounging along the east coast and eatin' caviar! hope caviar is spelt rite. For appetizers, it was rack of lamb, bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp as I recall. The food was so good that I felt competitive. I tipped the server so heavy she felt compelled to find me every time she brought out a fresh tray. I have a picture of her with my wife. We still correspond. Makers Mark at the open bar. Still the best wedding food I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Jeez, if I knew how ya's really felt about me, I'd never have taken the new gig. Too late to turn back now. See ya's 'round the net, Jimmy PS. Chad was every bit the gentleman at the wedding. The secret is to keep him well fed and, uh...watered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Morrison Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 OK, last post on this topic from me. Here's a link to my first piece.. These guys kind of reminded me of an ASHI meeting. Just another island of misfit toys. Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Jim, it is a great piece! You're right the ASHI guys (me) can relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Funny stuff. I'm confused by a phrase though, "In the beginning, only male horse-owning residents... The funniest bit for me is this: He was among several members who spoke of failed plans to bring an actual horse to a meeting. It's hard enough to find a horse, let alone get it into a restaurant,?

Marc Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I don't read the Globe but that kind of writing down here in any newspaper would get the author a ride on an up-bound career escalator. It's a little wordy but that's easily tapered down. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Morrison Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yesterday, my 13-year-old son Seamus came home with a poetry assignment. His work is a bit unrefined, but the kid is all heart and it comes through in his work. Anyway, I'm sharing it with his permission because I thought the metaphor in the second line might sound familiar to anyone who read my description of our fearless O'Leader earlier in this thread. This world is something crazy A rabid porcupine Where unimportant, little things Have taken over lives It seems what people want is really Good hair, good face, good clothes And real, regular, human being I don't know where it goes And war, a thing we do too much BANG! Another man has died from such A terrible thing that we create It brings us back to a tribal state It roars and stomps so loud in fact The world just stops and stares! It cannot help itself although It's citizens beware But what's this? A light! Up in the sky, a reassuring one The human race can help itself Let this madness be done Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
