SCHWIMBAG PEROUT PICTORIAL BONANZA, PART I - & MUD-GIRL CONTEST:
So yesterday, I started reading e-mails. There were about six or seven e-mails from Immortal Schwimbaggio
Jeff Perout jeff@perout.com !
I could not believe my eyes. I had writer’s cramp in my hands after the several back-and-forth e-mails. Jeff’s keyboard must have been smokin! Jeff found a treasure trove of photos of Tick-a-lors at The Wags Wagner Pool Party, Hartsville, Tennessee, 1974! And a mystery? . . . LET THE FLOOD-GATES OPEN!
THE MUD-GIRL CONTEST: Jeff found a mystery photo of a Mud-girl making a very sweet jesture, and dreamed up a great new contest:
E-MAIL #1:
"Hey Bozo, Here's one for the BLOG....a seminal moment, so to speak, in true TIC history. Who can identify the location, the place and the
care-giver in the attached image? I will forward an image of the answer in a future post. This is just the beginning of my recent trek through my image archives...there is A LOT more to come.. Schwimbaggio Perout..."
CONTEST RULES: I followed this up with a call to Jeff, and he decreed the contest rules:
The Winner
will be the first Tick-a-lor to correctly answer Jeff’s 3 questions:
1. What is the name of the Mud-Girl?
2. What is the name of the Event in which Mud-Girl is pictured?
3. What is the name of the Organization which sponsored the Event?
Be the first Tick-a-lor to correctly answer all 3 questions - and win the following prize:
Winner must endure dinner with Schwimbag
Jeff Perout & other Schwimbags at the Krystal (or other restaurant of Jeff’s choosing), during Reunion 2009 (which is Jeff’s 35th Reunion). Must attend Reunion 2009 to collect prize. Dinner generously paid for by Perout.
AS IF ALL THAT WASN’T ENOUGH:
E-MAIL #2:
" Larry, Here are a few more. 
I can't remember where these were taken.
Obviously some kind of Tic party out in Nashville somewhere.
Perhaps someone else will remember.
Schwimbaggio Jeff"

E-MAIL #3:
"Larry, You're right !!! I think it is Wags....here are
two more pics of some of the TIC chicks there...
Susan Neilson, a Poo-Phoo, a blond Chi-O whom I can't remember, and I believe it's
Julie Fassett, another Chi-O...WAAZ's girlfriend...and catch those wheels on SN...why did I let her slip away....oh, that's right, I'm an idiot... There might be one or two more of the Wags party..but you have the best...."

E-MAIL #4:
"Larry, More pics

TIC party. I'm sending a bunch, a couple at a time. Sorry if there are dupes.
Jeff"
E-MAIL #5:
"Larry, The best about all these are the pics of
Alex and Laura...."
#5 -BLOG TO JEFF:
Jeff:
Right. I miss Alex and Laura, sometimes more than I miss my parents. What a treasure trove of photos. Thanks old friend. I’ll put all these up together. You da man!

I remember showing up for Wags' Pool Party around sunset - I missed the afternoon swim - but the party was roaring. Elizabeth Brewer was there (I think) because I knew Chet would kill me if I tried anything. Wags must have had Sly & the Family Stone Greatest Hits, because, apart from Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Allman Brothers, the music playing was "Hot fun in the Summa-time - ooo, Lawd" and "Dance to the Music" and "I, am Every-day People, yeah, yeah" - and my all-time favorite "Its a Family Affair" (mainly because I've always perceived myself as the "other child, grows up to be, somebody you'd just love to burn") - bup bucket cha, bup bucket cha!
