Title: Way OT: Been away for a while. Something Unusual
Post by: alfsauve on February 21, 2010, 07:45:07 PM

Sorry for being absent for awhile.   Made a quick dash to Tucson to see my 93yo Mother in Law last weekend.  Had a major student "revival" event all this weekend.  (Almost 70 hours on the clock in 5 days.)

So as an offering for my absence:..............students where given a reusable water bottle and asked to go "trade-up" for something of more value.   Trade again, and again, until they came to the "big" service on Saturday.   Some brought back washing machines, dishwashers, TV........   All then sold in an auction to raise money for charity.  

BUT THIS tops the cake.  Who made it and why it was in East Cobb County GA is beyond me.   Unfortunately nobody wanted to bid on this and take it home (two girls not included)

My best guess is Ted Turner had this made when he owned the Omni and had GWTW playing 6 times a day in the movie theater.

Anyway, life back to normal for me on Monday.    I'll spend tonight and tomorrow catching up on all the reading.

Certainly one of a kind alf, (the 93 year old Mother-In-Law), and the picture.  Nobody traded you for the Fedora Hat? 8)

Glad your back to the ol stomping grounds, and back on DRTV.
