What's happening? I've been camping for the weekend and missed

Tim stood in with a band (and I think he got paid more than just a

lousy blessings and it was a pretty good size room. Looks like
he may
be able to play out with the band some more in the future..

Hey...I got to sit on the stage during a Ray Charles concert at the old
New Haven Arena in the 1960's. I wasn't more than 20 feet away from
Ray,
but, sadly, none of his musical talent floated through the air to
me. It
was a blessing, to me, at least. :)

Ha, ha ha... sure you did harrie.. Was that right after your fathers
Fireboat welcome to NYC? LOL!!!



There were stage seats, **** for brains, and since the father of one
of my father's best friends *owned* the old New Haven Arena, we were
frequently able to get some of the best seats...for free.

The guy who owned the Area was Maurice Podoloff. From wiki:

Maurice Podoloff was born to a Jewish family in Elizabethgrad, Russian
Empire (now in Ukraine) on August 18, 1890. When he was a young boy
his family emigrated to the United States, where he graduated from
Hillhouse High School in New Haven, Connecticut in 1909. From there
Podoloff went on to Yale University where he got his law degree in 1915.

A distinguished lawyer, Maurice Podoloff was a man of impeccable
character and was instrumental in the development and success of
professional basketball. On June 6, 1946, Podoloff, who was already
serving as president of the American Hockey League, was appointed
president of the newly formed Basketball Association of America (BAA),
becoming the first person to lead two professional leagues
simultaneously.

After the BAA signed several of the top names in the National
Basketball League into the league, Maurice Podoloff negotiated a
merger between the two groups to form the National Basketball
Association in 1949. As a lawyer with no previous experience,
Podoloff's great organizational and administrative skills were later
regarded as the key factor that kept the league alive in its often
stormy formative years.

In 17 years as president, Podoloff expanded the NBA to as many as 17
teams, and briefly formed three divisions and scheduled 557 games.

During his tenure Maurice introduced the collegiate draft in 1947, and
in 1954 instituted the 24 second shot clock created by Dan Biasone,
owner of the Syracuse Nationals, which quickened the pace of games and
took the NBA from a slow plodding game to a fast paced sport. In 1954,
Podoloff also increased national recognition of the game immensely by
securing its first television contract.

As the president of the NBA, he gave lifetime suspensions to
Indianapolis Olympians players Ralph Beard and Alex Groza after they
admitted to point shaving while in college at the University of Kentucky.

Maurice Podoloff stepped down as NBA president in 1963, having
increased fan interest during the NBA's formative years and having
improved the overall welfare of the sport of basketball through his
foresight, wisdom and leadership. In his honor, the NBA would name its
annual league Most Valuable Player trophy the Maurice Podoloff Trophy.

- - -

I never met Maurice Podoloff, but I knew and saw his son, Dickie
Podoloff, many times. Dickie was my father's best buddy *and* a
competitor in the boat business. Here's a snippet from the New Haven
Register in 1967:

"Adverse weather conditions along the Eastern seaboard are having an
effect on the multi-million dollar area marina business. "It's killing
us," said Richard Podoloff of Adams-Podoloff Marina in West Haven."


Who did you know growing up, little man? Some midget wrestlers who
held up convenience stores?


Hey... you've just came up with the perfect job for The Freak.... midget
wrestler.
He might last if all the other midgets promised to take it easy on him.


My dad and I used to go to some of the wrestling matches at the New
Haven Area. Saw some midget wrestlers on some cards. Little freak would
be a perfect foil for them...they'd grab his ponytail and swing him
around by it.

The little troll claims he took his boat out last week. I doubt it. And
if he did, the environmental police would pull him over for attempting
to float a biohazard.

Tim was in the audience at a concert of the Eagles and the bassist was
too sick to play. So Tim was called up on the stage and got to perform
before 30,000 fans. Several young ladies were so excited by his
presence, they took off their panties and threw them at him.




This is a major attack of narcissism, eh?

Can you imagine being the first President since President Carter, to be
compared to President Carter?

So, in your terms, he played a pig roast, standing in someones garage,
watching the fat greasy Biker Chicks stagger around spilling their
beer.

To you, that's " high society ", panty liner.
