>>> Posting number 42284 Date: Thu, 28 May 1998 13:21:27 EDT From: Janet Paterson Subject: gems from george - 2 of 2 ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 97/09/26 From: george lussier Subject: THE ORIGINAL "HOLE IN THE HEAD GANG" ------------------------------------------------------- DEAR SO AND SO, The original "HOLE IN THE HEAD GANG" was formed some time prior to my second pallidotomy which was done on 9/23/96 and since we were among the few, the brave we thought that we ranked as the original but I will allow that "the hole in the head gang" is hardly unique so there may be others who claim title as a hole in the head gang member. This local group included 6 people all who were issued T shirts with "hole in the head gang" on the front and their name on the back in case they get lost. Actually I'm what is known as a "second sider" by virtue of having the 2nd side done [My first anniversary was 9/23/97 and dispite some thus far minor setbacks I've grown stronger and believe that I'm better neurologically speaking each day as well. Now I know that you are just frantic to know how you may get a picture of me in my original "Hole in the head gang" T-shirt. Well, I'm setting up a massive distribution system to handle the flood of requests I expect so if you wish a 4-5 black and white of me in my t-shirt let me know. If you wish just a photo of the t-shirt I can do that.[by cutting off my head] so just send me via e- mail your snail mail address and with in any number of days you will be the proud owner of a Lussier original HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN george what a beautiful Morning from Oklahoma There's a bright golden haze on the meadow There's a bright golden haze on the meadow The corn is as high as an elephant's eye And it looks like it's climbing right up to the sky O what a beautiful morning, O what a beautiful day I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way All the cattle are standing like statues All the cattle are standing like statues They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by But a little brown mav'rick is winking her eye ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 97/09/28 From: janet paterson Subject: Re: THE ORIGINAL "HOLE IN THE HEAD GANG" ------------------------------------------------------- long time no see, george! you wrote: >... This local group included 6 people all who were issued >T shirts with "hole in the head gang" on the front >and their name on the back in case they get lost... just two small questions: did they wear these tee-shirts while walking backwards? or did they wear the tee-shirts backwards while walking backwards? from your syber-sys [dale evans in her earlier life] janet ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 97/09/30 From: George Lussier Subject: Let us see,if the backward walker walked 3 miles in his t-shirt on inside-out would he know when he had reached the 2 mile mark? No ..it's rather simple. you see. you devide.. ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Janet, Thank you for responding. You are truely among the few, the proud and the brave. >just two small questions: >did they wear these tee-shirts while walking backwards? >or did they wear the tee-shirts backwards >while walking backwards? To answer your interesting, intelligent,thought provoking and caring question one must think whether or not you have really asked only one question rather then your stated two questions [A sure sign of a backward walker---fell into one too many potholes, have you?] for as Chip Blank said in his autobiography, "The Mind Is A Fine Thing To Waste" "Never answer one question when you can answer two or more, especially if you are being paid by the question" [Section XXX pp.#1278] After serious consideration I have determined that you have asked only one question but have given me two options as possible answers. Unfortunately neither is correct for as Shakespeare was overheard saying to Harry Thruman during the "War of Wine and Roses" "You didn't bet on that nag, did you Harry?" And ,as you well know, janet, Harry responded .......... What? >long time no see, george! WHY yes,it has been a while. I've been busy denying that I have PD but put together the final draft of the Video on my 2nd side pallidotony. Last week we laid the sound track and on Monday,Tues and Wed of this week we are editing the final version. Distribution is next. It has been shot and edited by professionals so it is a quality product. My content editing has tried to keep a balance between what would be of interest to the layperson and his/hers family who may be considering a Pallidotomy or similar surgery and to the medical community at large. It has been an interesting process for me. It was one year to the day of my second surgery when the sound track was laid. I had all sorts of trouble looking at the home-made pre-surgery tape. I was a mess; headed for some form of residential care but ........... enough. I'm much improved. If you or other readers have any ideas about distribution please let me know. Happy trails to you Until we meet again George what a beautiful Morning from Oklahoma There's a bright golden haze on the meadow There's a bright golden haze on the meadow The corn is as high as an elephant's eye And it looks like it's climbing right up to the sky O what a beautiful morning, O what a beautiful day I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way ----------------------------------------------------------- janet paterson 52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset e-mail - [log in to unmask] web-site - http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/
