i was boy in tarzan
struck up a conversation with gotta-peso on sunday while getting breakfast lengua tacos at catavina. the spot in front of the store has SMOKING good
tacos. anyway, highlights of the one sided conversation went something like:
"i was boy in tarzan. i invented the hula hoop, wiffle ball, frizbee, ice cream cone-you know soft serve. ever hear of dairy queen? that's mine, too!"
"how long you been here?"
"3 years" (more like 7!) time stands still in the desert, after all.
"i'm just waiting for my money to show up. you ever hear of fender guitars? i got in an accident once when playing my guitar and when i looked at the
fender all bent up it came to me. do you like bread? i invented the bread machine. the slicer. ever hear of wonder bread?"
"hey dude, you want a taco?"
"gotta peso?"
"here's 50. i gotta go bud, i'm hungry. take care....."

My boyfriend and I had a conversation with him awhile back and that day he was a songwriter and he rattled off at least 25 hits he'd written.....and
yes, he's there waiting for his royalty check.

You've got the right idea, Dennis, but they're pretty much ALL a pack of
self-interested-tell-you-whatever-will-get-em-elected-"Encumbancy-Protection-Plan"-for-lifers !!!
Quiote a few folks here like to split hairs over who's better, right, (left), etc., but I swear, telling the Ds and Rs apart (especially in the
integrity department) has become increasingly difficult. Just look back at how many Rs and Ds have been convicted the past 20 years 
GP would fit nicely in either party... at least for a while.... just put him in an Armani suit, give him a flag and a bible..... 'cept, GP would
likely tire of the Demublican - Republicrat BS ! ! !
Its all just stuff and some numbers.
A day spent sailing isn\'t deducted from one\'s life.

From now on, anyone who drives through should say "Hey, you're Boy aren't you?".

he also invented Campbell's soup and has a mansion in Brazil and several other countries. But he's afraid of dogs...he takes one look at our mutts in
the back of the car and it's "adios!!"

He also had a strawberry field just over the next hill that was the inspiration for Lennon and Strawberry Fields Forever. Lennon came by once,
apparently. Honest, that's what he told me.

He must be the world's worst money manager!!! Does he work for the U.S. government, too?
Frisbee (sp?) pie company might have an issue with that part of his story!

This guy is a real entertainer! Hell.....I'd buy him lunch for the show!
Great post woody
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

You got it right mcfez! He is really an entertainer. I can't imagine passing through Catavina without seeing him at
his spot along the road.

I talked with him a bit on my motorcycle ride during Thanksgiving. He is definitely eccentric but not stupid. I was a little haunted by his ice cold,
piercing blue eyes you would never expect out there. It would be cool to know his whole story.
