The contents of the “Weekly Feature” page are provided to you for your entertainment, amusement, and perhaps information. Here you may find articles of interest, pictures, historical information on the Club, or whatever shuffles to the top of the pile on our desk. The only defined characteristic of this space is that we will make every effort to change/replace it around the middle of each week. Thank you for visiting, and please stop by again.

‘Tis The Season

You know the one. The one where you’re supposed to be jolly, regardless of how you really feel. Jolly when your shoulder hurts, jolly when your head hurts, jolly when your feet hurt and you haven’t even gotten to the Mall yet. And you didn’t want to go to the Mall in the first place. Hell, you really wanted to go to Florida. Maybe visit Jerry and Grace. Or Arizona, to see if they really know who John Lehman is. The Hawaiian Islands sound really nice, too. Volcano’s are a great source of geothermal heat, you know. Think of it! Free heat! Hagerty could plumb a few hundred feet of copper tubing into that lava, and we’d be all set for the winter if we could tap into something like that here. But no, all that thermal energy is wasted on some place that was already warm to start with. Just our luck. Oh sure, you can go ahead and dig a hole in Michigan, after you get through the layer of perma-frost, and you can pound all the copper pipe you can afford into that hole, but what are you going to get for all your effort? Doesn’t take an MIT science guy to answer that question. You’re gonna’ get cold water. How’s that gonna’ help your cold feet? And then you’re still gonna’ have to go the Mall with those cold feet, because your wife said you needed to go Christmas shopping. But now you don’t have any money because you gave it all to Hagerty to buy copper pipe. And you thought you ordered so many feet of pipe, but somehow it didn’t seem like you got as much as you ordered, and then you noticed the empty Stroh’s cartons in the back of Hagerty’s truck. And then all of Hagerty’s buddies show up and the whole group is probably gonna’ wander off to the Showgrounds to “check things out”. And there you stand with your cold feet and empty wallet, and you still haven’t been to the Mall. And those guys all looked jolly, too, didn’t they? Then you think maybe you could send Hoss, and Jeffy, and Neumeyer to do your shopping for you, but there just seems to be too many ways for that to go wrong. So you finally decide that the only thing that could possibly cheer you up would be to see Ellen Benjamin, Grub, Al Shuster, and Fred Grey, all sitting on Santa’s lap with lists in their hands, hope in their hearts, and even after all those collective years, the belief in their minds that, “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” ! Travel wherever you might, the only place you’re gonna’ see that is at the annual MMOGTA Christmas Party !
