Dick (Acott, of course!) sent this to me a month ago, and (I'm sorry) I lost track of it:
Mike,
I am requesting a letter and/or comment from you and our SERTOMANS who felt positive about my daughter Lorri Acott-Fowler's presentation on creativity to Sertoma. She will be speaking to approximately 1000 women next spring in Boston and plans future presentations. Letter's and/or positive comments for her portfolio would assist her pursuit of this part of her dream.
Would you forward this message to your all Sertomans e-mail?
Thanks,
Dick Acott

NO MEETING THIS FRIDAY (THE 23RD)!! WE HAVE A GAME! Our beer czar tells us that there are currently 15 people signed up, but we need MORE! This promises to be a good turnout as it is WYO, and our last chance to make some good tips. Come on out and have some fun at our last game! If you did not receive a parking pass yet, spare parking passes are at John K’s office front desk and will be there all week. johnkcpa@mcleodusa.net
I just read an article on the dangers of drinking . . . .Scared the shit out of me.
So that's it! After today, no more reading!
Gary Ross told us how he recently spent "18 hours in the saddle", so he could murder some elk and a "great big cow". Funny. My dad used to tell me how he would paint "COW" on the side of their cows so no one would shoot them.

A "Heads Up" for those men who may be regular Home Depot customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naïve enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. Here's how the scam works.
Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot or Lowe's.
You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen September 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th & 24th. Also October 1st, 4th, twice on the 6th, three times just yesterday, and very likely this coming weekend. So tell your friends to be careful!

About 50 of us had our meeting at the Discover Center last Friday . . . on Prospect. Annette Geiselman has been the Executive Director since 2003, and she is about to take it to the BIG TIME! She took the time Friday, however, to show us around.
The Discovery Center is (now) unique in Colorado. Anything like it has since closed. Since they have nominal rent ($1) from the school system, and also have their utilities paid (!!) by the school system, they have been able to survive. After 18 years, however, they plan to build a large, modern facility. To date they have raised of $8M dollars, and will raise at least twice that much for their new facility. The operating costs will be over $1M/year.
After the meeting, we were presented with our new shirts/caps/jackets by Dick Ziporlin. Pretty snazzy!
Bob Kopplin told us how he and his wife recently became grandparents of a little baby girl, Marin Whitcomb.
Th' Beave has asked me to pass along a request from Bob Reed's granddaughter, Kelly. She has asked that anyone buying gifts for the gift program purchase at least a toy and another item. If you have any questions concerning this, contact Randy.
Bradford Albert bragged that he recently ate chicken at my house, prepared according to one of his recipes, and he is still alright!
John Pharris is probably back from his vacation to the British Virgin Islands. He said he was going to "live on a sailboat for 10 days, snorkel, fly fish, drink rum, and smoke good cigars."
E. Scott told us a story about Ed Caffrey's visit to the dentist, and Ed's fear of needles, which led to the dentist suggesting he take Viagra. Ed said "why"? The dentist said "no, but it'll give you something to hang onto".
Norm bragged on his wife, Carol, who has two more stories and another Chicken Soup book . . . Chicken Soup for the Tea Lover's Soul. Norm brought a couple of the books and auctioned them off, with the proceeds going to the Foundation.
John McLean covered his IOU with a check for $100, as promised.

INTERESTING!
See this before someone with a lot of clout gets pulled. It is 13 minutes and 39 seconds long, but well worth your time. I'll give you a hint: Hillary

John K Sez: The Club had a good day with beer sale gratuities (at the Georgia Southern game). With so few students, the total beer sales were just over $5,000. In looking at the student crowd, I more guess that there were no more than 1500 people on the student side. However, we collected $630.66, with everyone now becoming well practiced in asking for the order. The "cooler" stand collected $216.11 and the "training table" stand gathered $414.55.
The WYO game has a kick-off at noon, so, we need to get there by 10:15. With the game set for after the holiday, we need to recruit more members to be there. Parking passes are available at my office. Please call me at 224-9900 to add your name to our game-day listing.
Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less then 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"
The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and saw a small box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Ed has been missing since Friday; please pray for him . . .

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

A QUESTION OF GENEALOGY
I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to grab a bite at the food court.
I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him.
The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.
My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time.
When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.
"Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."

The Greatest Hacker Of All Time?
The question comes up from time to time, who's the greatest hacker ever? Well, there's a lot of different opinions on this. Some say Steve Wozniak of Apple II fame. Maybe Andy Hertzfeld of the Mac operating system...Richard Stallman, say others, of MIT. Yet at such times when I mention who I think the greatest hacker is, everyone agrees (provided they know of him), and there's no further argument. So, let me introduce you to him, and his greatest hack. I'll warn you right up front that it's mind numbing. By the way, everything I'm going to tell you is true and verifiable down at your local library, or on the internet. Don't worry; we're not heading off into a Shirley MacLaine UFO-land story. Just some classy electrical engineering . . . . . Editors Note: This is fascinating!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Q; I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: You Heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it…. Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A; No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to you system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Coco beans! Another vegetable. It's the best feel-good food around!!!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: You're not listening… Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

BEER BASH On the Beer Bash and fellowship happy hour, Pitcher's sports bar will be the place we will do this. Each 3rd Friday of the month, from 5-7 we will meet, and the prices are excellent.
