"BEARS" #5

I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon looking for a publicity
picture of my dear friend Jimmy Hall.
With a little luck this might be him.
He can skate you know.

You won't find any publicity pictures. There are all in private archives. Like Larry Allen Dean, they have all been ottigrafed and given away. Ix nay on the roller skates. If you have ever seen James C. Hall in a pair of clogs, you know where the expression a monkey f**k*ng a football came from.

I did go skating once with a bear at Marineland while wearing wood clogs I might add it was quite invigorating.

Chic,
Who are we talking about here, you've confused me? My son's father in law, or his mother in law, the hardest working animal trainer?

JC Hall,
You remember I said, "you can't wear those things, your not an acrobat" and you said, "if that big ass Slick Valentine can wear them, I can too," as you headed out the door to take the bears for a walk in the park. I'll never forget that day when that one eyed grizzly bear "brought" you back to the show building, limping along like Chester, one clog on your left foot and 5 inches of wet sock flopping off your right foot, bear crap smeared from your left ear, across your cheek, and down to your right knee. You know I would have gone to look for your other clog, except somebody had to go find the fish trainers so they could come and see what happened to you, right?
Luckily one of the grounds keepers found it with the lawn mover and brought it back.
Funny how things change over the years. Today you say "I might add it was quite invigorating." Twenty five years ago you said, "that's bull shit, I'll kill that bear." Do you want to tell about you and the bear doing the sponge plunge without the sponge, or save that for another day?
I have said it before and I'll say it again, you can add James C. Hall to the list with Palenburg, Klauser, Klauser-Cuneo, Naughton, Rix, Bottcher.
But wait awhile before you add him to the list of Jones, Johnson, Woodcock, Williams, Gautier. I am just saying......

If you reread my comment Wade you

will notice that I said 1 of and

of course Tepa would certainly

be considered another 1 of as well

Since you only took a shot at J C

I only mentioned him

Didn't see you at the club today

What a fantastic & well deserved

turnout for that incredible

octagenarion & everyone's friend

the master of show business

Chic,
What shot? By pointing out his DWTS athletic prowess? Jesus Chic, can't you distinguish between a tribute and a shot? I read your post closely, and while you could have been referencing my son's wife when you wrote, "hardest working animal trainer" it was a no brainer you were referencing his mother in law, Tepa. It had to be, because it sure wasn't his father in law you were referencing.
I wasn't there in body Chic, and sorry I had to miss it, but I was in spirit. A friend bought a cocktail for the immortal John Milton on my behalf.
