To William Robert Julian Brasky!

I thought some of you might enjoy these quotes about the man best known as Bill Brasky:

The Quotable Brasky
--------------
"Did you know Bill Brasky is the godfather of my son? He shows up at the church in his golf pants, caked in mud. Well, ol' Bill Brasky pushes the priest aside and says, 'I'll baptize that piece of calamari!' Then he pours Scotch all over my baby son and says, 'There! You're baptized!' The boy is blind to this day!"

"Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky sold me into slavery? He puts me on a ship to Thailand, right? And I'm chained to a pipe. Meanwhile, ol' Brasky, he's back in the States siring three beautiful children with my wife!"

"Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky showed up at my daughter's wedding? You know my daughter, she's a beautiful girl. Well, Brasky shows up and you know he's a big fella. Well, he's standing right between me and my daughter at the ceremony. He's got no right to be there, but he's drunk and he's Brasky! Well, long story short: the priest accidentally marries me and Brasky! We spend the weekend in the Poconos — he loved me like I've never been loved before!"

"You know how Brasky served three tours in 'Nam? Well, I'm in Corpus Christi on business a month ago, and I had this eight-foot tall Asian waiter which made me a little curious, so I asked him his name, and sure enough it's Ho Tran Brasky!"

"I went camping with Brasky, his wife, and his daughter Debbie! Debbie Brasky. She's 7-years-old, goes about 3'5", 55 pounds. So, I'm in the back of a pickup with Bill Brasky and a live deer! Well, Brasky, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, "I'm Bill Brasky! Say it!" Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth - "Billbrasky!" It wasn't exactly it, but it was pretty good for a deer!"

"I once saw him eat a whole live chicken."

"Bill Brasky once gave me a videotape of him having sex with my wife, and it was the most beautiful damn thing I ever saw!"

"To Bill Brasky! A ten-foot-tall, two-ton son of a bitch who could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing!"

3/16/1996
"Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky forced me to wear a woman's bikini around the office? Brasky tears off my clothes and makes me wear this skimpy bikini. For the next three months I had to conduct my business wearing a woman's bathing suit. I would cry from shame and question my manhood daily. But at the end of the quarter, I'll be damned if my sales hadn't tripled."

"He'll eat a homeless person if you dare him."

"One time I asked Brasky to dress up like Santa for a Christmas party I was throwing for my children. Yeah, that's them, that's them. Well Brasky shows up as Santa, reaches into his bag and says, 'I've got goodies for you kids.' He proceeds to hand out scrap metal and cigarettes to them. Then he takes off his beard and says 'There is no Santa 'cause I ate him.'"

"He sheds his skin once a year."

"I once saw him scissor kick Angela Lansbury."

"Did I ever tell you about the time I went horseback riding with Brasky, but there weren't any horses around? Well, Brasky throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days. Well wouldn't you know it my stamina increases with each day and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Brasky decides to enter me in the Breeders Cup, right? Under the name Turkish Delight. And I'm running in second place, and I'm running and I break my ankle! They’re about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, 'Don't shoot him — he's a human.'"

"His favorite TV movie is The Boy in the Plastic Bubble starring John Travolta!

"You know he jumped off the Empire State Building this one time and he only sprained his ankle."

"Like an alligator, he can fully digest a turtle shell."

2/22/1997
"He had a four day heart attack! ...Yeah, a day for every chamber! ...When they did the autopsy, they said his heart was like a basketball filled with ricotta cheese! ...They found sixty dollars in change in his stomach!

"I remember one time Brasky took his family to Sea World... they were watching Shamu the whale when Brasky got splashed! So Brasky yells, 'I'm Bill Brasky and no one gets me wet!' So he climbs into the tank, grabs Shamu and throws the whale into the audience, splashes him and yells, 'How do you like it?!' And then damn if Brasky didn't step in there and finish the show!"

"You know, he would shoot whiskey into his neck with a syringe."

Finally, Brasky takes me into a vacant lot and says, Here we are!' Well, we sat there for a year and a half. Sure enough, someone constructed a bar around us! Well, the day they opened it, we ordered a shot, drank it and then burnt the place to the ground. Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found them!'"

Window To The Soul

Time to jump on a new and exciting bandwagon of self-awareness, thanks to The Sportslady and Lady Crumpet.

No, this isn't some self help guru program or new age therapy session.

Instead, let's open Johari's Window and see what you think of me.

Enter my personal Window and tell me what best describes my personality. The overlaps and differences should make for a little bit of fun, and an interesting experiment for my psyche.

So, go ahead. Crack open my Johari's window.

Being that I'm in sunny Florida, the place could stand a nice gulf breeze.

Valentine's Return


"It's been such a long time
I think I should be going
Cause time doesn't wait for me
It keeps on going"
-"Long Time" by Boston

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

In case you've joined us late (like me), here's what has been happening at the Cape lately...

Well the "retirement" lasted all of 3 weeks, except for some part time work.
Since January 23rd, I've been gainfully employed full time as a Production Specialist at WFTX, the Fox affiliate in Ft. Myers.

Some more good news, after working at the Fox station for about 2 weeks, I've already gotten a promotion!

I'm moving to the Promotions dept. with a new title, Promotions Coordinator/Producer at Fox 4 News.

Here's some other things on my mind since my last post...

I think Herm's a great hire for the Chiefs. This whole TO situation got me worried, though. I really don't see the Chiefs pulling the trigger on it.

Just so you know...the Crue was in town Saturday night to rock the Germain Arena. Had I still been in Columbus GA, the plan was to go and see the show with a friend of mine. Sorry, Matt!

It warrants mentioning that I remember going to see Van Halen back in high school with my friend Travis at Riverport, when a certain Vince Neil opened for Sammy and Eddie. Hey, Smiler, do you still have the Vince Neil wife beater that you bought...or did you burn it in effigy?

Another exciting happening...Pitchers and catchers report this week. Ft. Myers is the home of the Red Sox AND the Twins, so plenty of action around town for the next month and a half.

The Cards are only a couple hours across the state...so maybe I can make back there for a weekend game at Roger Dean Stadium...but I need someone to go with me. Any takers?

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I'm sure that things will get back to normal and I'll be posting more soon.

Well, KO and I are off to dinner and a hockey game for Valentine's Day. Nothing says I love you more than watching two Canadian guys beat each other's faces in with a LaBatt's, your sweetie, and your Reggie Dunlop Charlestown Chiefs sweater!


Old Time Hockey...like Eddie Shore....and Toe Blake...and Gordie!!
