Beta Pi Blog, Vol.2009, No.30 - Stragglers, Laggards & Shaggers

Beta Pi:

IS "BETA PI BLOG" WITHOUT ANY REDEEMING SOCIAL OR ARTISTIC MERIT?: YEA . . . .
OR
NAY?
Beta Pi Blog exists for one reason: to bring ATO, Beta Pi Chapter Brothers together. The "blog" does not take itself very seriously - it is meant for fun, and therefore is non-political. It includes pictures, links, Archives of previous issues, and other time-wasters. To get there, go to web address: http://beta-pi-blog.blogspot.com .

STRAGGLERS, LAGGARDS & SHAGGERS:
A few weeks before Reunion, Mark "Marlon" McGann markmcgann@prodigy.net , sent me some pictures, I can’t find them - that makes me a Shagger. Marlon, if it was important to you (it is to the rest of us) please send it again, I apologize for the inconvenience. Marlon - as always, I wish you had made it.

And just days before Reunion, Frank "Marty" Collins collinzes@gmail.com sent me a great shot of him and Charlie "Ralph the Eggman" McGibbony cmcgibony@aol.com . Jeez - I wish you two Nub-heads could have joined us. You guys are dubbed the Laggards.

Now for the Straggler - Smootie. So, I’ve got the two Hurricane issues up and online, with all known photos, right? WRONG! Here comes an e-mail, slowly showing up after it’s all said and done - from Bob Smoot RSmoot358@aol.com . Who was it that said "Better Nate than lever?"

COMMENTS: Sometimes, I think no one reads the comments. Only about 10 Brothers are tech-savvy enough to post a comment, and those who actually post comments are rare. Most of the Brothers use e-mail to comment. So, I have used the COMMENT SECTION of the blog to POST YOUR E-MAILS, "for the annals."

HERE IS HOW TO POST, OR READ COMMENTS: Click on the button - "Comments" - just below "VTL, . ." If you’re having trouble you are a freakin’ moron, just give it up (kidding) - send me an e-mail and I’ll post your comment. Or, call me and I’ll walk you through it - 615-512-1448.
BETA PI BLOG ROSTER STATS: As of November 10, 2009, the Blog roster stands at 90 Tick-a-lo men online who have e-mail addresses (plus 8 Brothers who do not have e-mail), and 10 ATO Girlfriends-o-Yore. The blog needs e-mail addresses, please share!

VTL,

Larry Simons

Larry-

Ok, I finally took the time, rather than send you an email. I plan to be there next year. And I hope the housemates--Arms, Gene the Leaper, Matt Yonge (there's a stretch, but he is also the Sweetheart of Gamma Phi, so there"s 2 reasons), Dub, Buck--will be there.My father walked in to see me on parents weekend jr. year and Alex barred the hall, telling him "I'll see if Mr. Landry is awake".It was noon, or past that. The old man was pissed. I loved it. A

TO ART:

Excellent! Now - I will pray that you follow through and attend. As to Arms, Seattle is a long way away, and I'm hoping he'll attend. I can't tell you how awesome it was seeing Leapin' Gene, hoping he'll return. As to Matt "Dung" Yonge - no one knows where he is, he is "lost" (we have searched). Doug "Son of Dub" Martin is the mystery-man-o-the-universe, who knows these things? Buck we can count on - he loves attending these reunions. As to your sleep habits, I identify - remember that Buck dubbed "Dozo" for sleeping in classes and in Chapter Meetings, and it was you who morphed it into Ricardo Montal-Dozo. We will certainly arrange a wake-up call for you in October.

FROM ELIZABETH BREWER SCHAFFENBURG, November 13, 2009:

"I seem to remember Doug Martin dating a TriDelt. Don't know if they stayed together or where either one is located!"

TO ELIZABETH: I feel "Dear Abby". Yes, I recall Doug dated a woman, but I had forgotten she was of the Tri-Delt tribe. Doug is a man-of-mystery to this day, living in the mystery capital of the world, Omaha, Nebraska. I hope you light a fire under Chester's ass and demand that he show for our 35th next year. I hope you come too!

FROM DOUG MARTIN, November 16, 2009:

"I dated a Tri-Delt???? While I will admit there were stretches of my Ticklor days that I have difficulty remembering, I'm pretty sure I would recall dating a Tri-Delt. Actually, none of them would have me.

That said, I married a hot Pi Phi (Kathy Hunt) but the DDD's were beyond my reach.

Funny, I've never thought of Omaha as "mysterious"."
