Diary from Psycho Mountain

[brass balls]

Were any of you at Da Nang Nov 68, when a group of GI's decided they want to get on board a plane heading for Oakland?

Seems a team of MP's changed their mind !

WELCOME! Did you serve in Nam with the 101st, or another time during your Army career? There's a few 101st guys on here. Tell us about yourself. Don't be shy. A great group of guys on here.

You wouldn't happen to work for the VA in Atlanta would you?

Bob and I would like all of you to practise shuffleboard for next year. I don't think I can ever remember having so much fun in one 4 day period in my life.

The rumor I just started is that those are really the psyco vet campout photos and someone was just trying to post it on our gallery but somehow someone mistook it for Iraq. well s#it happens better them getting blamed then my east coast buddys. Andy I know you'se is the one with the blue glove and the thumbs up but which one in the pile is seatjerker?

It?s truly a sad state of affairs when Curtis is the only one more or less telling the truth.

Dan, it really wasn?t a remake of Deliverance, it was much more like Animal House. No toga?s but that was a matter of survival. Would you believe there are more mosquitoes flying around in Massachusetts than there were in Georgia?

John, 57 pucks without one on the board, that?s cool. When we played how many pucks traveled less than 10 feet on the table? What?s sad is I?ve always been Very completive. Dad taught me that if you loose and laugh, you?re an ass. You?ll notice I never laughed, especially during those three shutouts.

Bob, backward flips, fire walking? You know better than that. I have the right to remain silent. Anything I say will be exaggerated. I have the right to be represented by some dirt bag lawyer. Etc.

Curtis, I?m a little deaf? Curtis is the guy who was driving our rental car. The car was beeping because he didn?t fastened the seat belt. The turn signal was on for 5 miles and was making that dink, dink noise. The radio was on and expertly tuned to static. I started yelling about all the noise and Curtis was clueless. I even asked him if all gays were deaf, he honestly replied, ?What??

Larry, I wasn?t snoring on that sofa on Friday afternoon. I was dreaming about all the noise I?d heard the night before. The main reason for sleeping in the afternoon was I didn?t get any Z?s the night before.

Sid, the only shuffle boards left around here, open to the public, are the shuffle board bowling machines. Ever play strike 90 or Flash? I?d be willing to loose some money to you playing Flash. It would be a learning experience. Please don?t forget to get that card table.

Chris, I have never worn blue gloves in my life. Seems sort of effeminate and I think you know that?s not my style. (Curtis is second from the left.)

It will be a while before I post another Diary entry. Most of the notes are in Polish. I can?t read or write that language unless I?m using strong drink and I?ve decided to take the month of May off from that sort of thing.

One thing does need to be said. This trip I met Curtis? family, re-met John?s family and met Sid?s family. God?s honest truth, wasn?t a runt in the litter. Many of us have our quirks, foibles and attitudes. What an amazing blessing we found/produced such families.

Stay healthy,
Andy

...Of course I'm the only one telling the truth,...

..."trust me",...


...Yes the main theme was last man standing gets to shoot the bit&h, and I do believe I won, as I hadn't heard any other sounds after the first night out side of Lenny the oyster shucker (great dude), mumbling incorrherently beside the fire pit, and his impression of Foster brooks did wonders for my beauty sleep @ o dark thirty,...

...I can not, and will not tell a lie, I heard of the amazing back flip of Andy the magnificent, but was not a direct visual witness, however the howls of amusement echoed throughout the mountain top along with the much exagerated tales of full ganiors with a half twist, and not a drop spilled, (that's alcohol, hic, abuse),...

...Larry's shuffle board experience should help him in later life while being wheeled around in a straight jacket on the cruise line, USS leper, but I must say I arose to the test, DMZ, and I also won a game against Sid the shuffleboard slayer, and it took until our last evening for the sneaky NYer in me to come out, and Andy, I do apoligize for the capitalizing on the moment as your opponent's puck was just slightly leaning over the edge for a four pointer, and in my enthusiam I accidently jumped as high as I could, and the slight vibration from my landing inadvertently caused the puck to fall into the pit as a useless goose egg, I love your competitive spirit, (snicker, snicker, sorry, the look on your face was priceless,...

...Now back to driving, All is true, I have selective hearing, and while driving with Andy following John up the mountian, the only sound I heard was my ass sucking up the seat cushion as John being in a world all his own is tooling up his own highway at speeds in excess of 75/80, with a northern (yes, it's true they won't let him even drive a hack in NY) maniac climbing up his tailpipe for fear of being 20 feet off the rear, I did regain control of the situation when I removed the keys from the assailant behind the wheel at a local convience store, and proceeded to follow alone safley as he abandoned me to ride with John,...

...The ride up the mountian was fun though although I wish it would have been a 4 wheel drive after the run to the refreshment stand, I thought the Koreans were going to have a fit that we left you there to play with them, I thought they had offered you a ride back up the mountian,... 45 up the hill was fun, you have gravity to help in the braking process, although I've never found that thing they call a brake peddle, The rental car company called my house looking for you, something about clawing marks on the roof, and headliner, and the inability of removal of a certain bumper sticker attached with superglue to a certain window, told them I didn't know you, and I was only hitch hiking,...

...more to follow as crainial wiring is replaced during phase inspection,...

...Edit,...First in this series of corrections, you must understand things from my perspective, Me, yes me, the only "true" Yankee in the crowd (Andy is NOT a yankee, and as a matter of fact would probably throw me under the bus for being so so fast it would make your head spin), Me, yes me, headed for hostile territory(outside the confines of the mountian), down south where my slight accent might give me away real quick had to have a plan of attack from the moment I saw the Georgia pines (Andy at least had duct tape), I knew that my only hope of survival would be to "keep movin"(thank you DMZ LT for giving away that Sourthern secret), and that I did, and so it goes, I'm alive, and still not so well, but alive to tell the tales of the fateful trip, a three hour cruise(whistleing the theme from Gilligan's Island),...

...I will be here to take a stand against the rebel proproganda teams, and dispell the myth's and rumors against the successful mission of the North's most val,u,ble spy,...

This thread has turned into a C.Y.A. Im glad I was good....You guys aint got (more Georgian talk) $hit on me. And as far as shuffle board goes, If I remember straight, Sid and I kicked everyones a$$

...You were the watchful shepard watching over the flock, and you did a marvlous job, you kept us running the straight, and narrow course, and my commission findings will be on your desk in the morning ,...

...All in seriousness, there was nothing on that mountian that I would change, do different or, regret,... The bonding, and comradeship was of one that I, or anyone else will ever be able to repeat, nothing happened there that anyone there would ever be ashamed of, or be 2nd guessed on. PERIOD, A LIFETIME OF GREAT MEMORIES WITH PEOPLE THAT CAN NEVER BE REPLACED, SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS,...

..."It will go down like "caddyshack" forever, and every memory will be different, but only one word discribes it, "brothers",...
