I was lots smarter than you. I went to school part time and made

In 1966 tuition at Iowa State was $95 per quarter.

I had great summer jobs, thanks to my dad and the union movement, and
earned more than enough to pay for tuition and books. Then, one summer
while I was still getting my B.A., I got hired by the KC Star as a
reporter for about $85 a week. Big bucks...heheh. By the time the
summer ended, I was up to $100 a week and the day city editor and I
figured out a way for me to work full-time at the paper (I worked for
the morning editions, and reported in at 4:30 pm) *and* continue to
attend college full-time. I managed to get all morning classes, did
what "homework" I needed to do in the late mornings and early
afternoons, and then headed for work four afternoons a week. I also
worked Sundays. Since I was a "starving student," the night city
editor frequently assigned me to cover a speech at an organization
where dinner was being served. This was KC in its
agricultural-livestock heyday, so I got to eat a *lot* of steak. Of
course, in those days $3 would buy you a top-drawer steak dinner, with
all the trimmings, and I don't mean one of those cheap cut Outback
steaks, drowned in spicy sauce to cover up the fact that the meat was
mediocre.


Wow! You did all that and still managed to find the time to boff every
teenage girl in Kansas city? I'm impressed.


You know it's all bull****. He's never told the truth about anything.
Did you know that there's a searchable database for KC Star reporters
that goes WAY back?


Oh oh... Like most of his other lies, do you think he will have to give
this one up because of the internet? Man, he must hate Google, it just
ruins everything. pfffftttt...

As far as music goes, I always like Neil Young as long as I dont listen

talent and making sense dont often go together.


I don't know, Ted Nugent might be up your alley. ;-)


Dead on. Ted would be a fave of many here in rec.boats. Thank God he
wasn't part of Woodstock.

Some of the Republican nutcases on the gun discussion boards want Palin
as the presidential nominee in 2012 and Nugent as the veep nominee. You
are correct in assuming that the FLEEGs here would approve of Ted's
candidacy.
