You have heard me touch briefly on the fact that I have belonged to a private club for twenty years..It is not an upscale club, but more of a hall, that happens to be very well run and nice..It goes back over 120 years, and was a German only club until WWII when the FBI broke in and wanted to know why...These are a few of my stories that I found humorous over the years...
When first a member, I went there to bowl a few games(we have 4 lanes!) When done, I put my bowling bag behind me at the bar stool I was sitting on..old member tripped ass over applecart on it- I thought they were going to lynch me..
Worked a dance once, ran out of dance wax. Buddy thought indoor shuffleboard wax would work..it worked all right- like wax BBs ! Presidents wife went flying flat on her back first step she took! She was knocked unconscious... If she wouldn't have been drunk, she would have broke her neck.. I did my impression as a Zamboni with a push broom clearing the floor!
When I was president, an 80 year old woman shoved a small male member in the arm..he wrote a complaint, which the board was forced to address. I had to put an 80yr. old lady on probation, by the rules of the club..
I ran a Valentine's party once, and gave away intimate apparel in raffles.. made more money than the kitchen did!
One time, while president, a couple at the bar were all over each other..They were guests, not members, and some of the wives came up to me to do something about it! I went up to them and told them politely this wasn't where that was allowed..they laughed and left. A guy comes running in, and says they are in a car in the lot "getting busy".. I said "don't" just before 30 people went out to look..windows steamed, car rockin', everyone stood on the porch with mouths open! I ordered everyone back inside, and told them I wasn't touching this one!
We had a number of chili cook offs, one was when I changed propane tanks without turning off the stove- set my tablecloth on fire..didn't hear the end of that for years!
Your life is made of memories..write them down, take photos, tell and retell them..You will realize someday, just how precious they are..

Oh you know how much I love it when you tell us your stories..I bet that was a sight to see..could have used sex wax..you know the wax the put on surf boards!!
sex wax - now that would have been funny - everyone stuck in place - great stories!
I have an entire bookcase full of photo albums, and about 5 years' worth to be printed, sorted and booked. I also have about 20 framed photos on each child's bedroom wall, of them from newborn until high school grad. The visiting girlfriend last week thought this was the nicest thing she had ever seen. I told my son she's way too nice for him.
I would have loved to have seen the lady dancing! hahaha
Great share, BD! Stories like these are fun over a beer (or 3 or 4). :)
Great stories. Hilarious.
Funny!
Seems even the Master is on the other side of Six Sigam sometimes (the other side of 99.99% perfection) lol
"ass over applecart"?? That's a new one, love it. Love all the memories and I love it when my husband and I spend the evenings in "remember whens". Great post.
This is exactly what blogs are for - to record things just like that! Loved the stories Buff and I bet you have a whole lot more stored away. Do tell. :)

A great fun post... That's a club I would join. Any cook that has never set a little fire isn't trying hard enough
I wish that I (consistently) kept a journal all my life. I have forgotten so many things and people along the way.
that wax story is a hoot, esp. the luckily she was drunk part :D
Love it when you tell your stories!
That sounds like quite a club! 80 year olds get put on probation while others get busy in the parking lot! lol
Buff, when you're not talking about cooking, you're talking about COOKIN'!
Intimate apparel giveaways, sex in the parking lot...sure you weren't living in Miami?? ;)

Love your club stories. Years ago I belonged to a private club called The Leiderkrantz.. an old German club in the wrong part of town. I had some of the best times of my life there.
Good Cook- We have moved 4 times in the club's history..now in a a north end part of town, it's pretty nice..
Oh no those great thoughts of food mixed up with your funny stories have me laughing- I am about to snort water out my nose! LOL
Hubby does not like to be around when I read a poem called Silk Stockings, reminds him of his scoundrel friend how was hot for me years ago! It made for a good poem!
ChefE- I have been described as a rouge... sort of a scoundrel..
Tiz why I try and do Twaddle, so all me memories oneday will be read by my lads...
