Is He the Right Match for Evo?

[tumor]

And no wimps that can't handle being cold at night, I can't sleep if it's warm. I control the thermostat! If you get cold, drink some coffee!

With you in sack, i would not have any problems keeping warm

 

[ConcealedDreamer]

Love sucks.

 

[Echo 6 Sierra]

And you have to love coffee. LOTS OF COFFEE.

DAMN! I must officially remove myself from the competition with that one. If I drink coffee I become unbearable to be around. It's like I become a caricature of what people are like when they drink it, ala that guy on MAD TV. I can't even drink sodas after 3pm or I'll be awake all night.

And no wimps that can't handle being cold at night, I can't sleep if it's warm.

I can't sleep if its warm either. As long as I have a good blanket and can leave a "seal hole" to breath cool air its all good.

Is there any middle ground on the coffee thing?

Love sucks.

You're wrong. Love is awesome. When you can simply think about someone and walk on air...When you finally realize or find out that the person that makes you act like a Dork when you are around them feels like a Dork when they're around you...When that one person takes you by the hand and looks into your eyes and you KNOW that each of you carry a piece of the others heart...when you, for no reason at all, just say their name and giggle or smile...AWESOME!

 

[check]

Jeez, none of you guys have even sent poor Evo a bouquet of flowers before stating your cases as to why she should choose you. Just pretend this is me.

Hmm...now that I think about it, I think the ‘Comic Book Store Guy’ from The Simpsons would be a perfect match for you!

 

[loseyourname]

Astronomy, archaeology, ancient history, medieval history and literature, science fiction, I'm a gourmet cook, love gardening, I've won awards and considered becoming a landscape architect, I'm a decent portrait artist, love animals.

Hmm, I could go for some gourmet eating. I love gardens, but not gardening. Used to be an award-winning portrait artist, but gave it up a couple of years ago.

I have to admit my own interests have been all over the board. I used to write a ton in addition to the portrait thing. Never tried to publish anything, but I took part in a lot of workshops and did public readings, mostly of short stories. I completed about 2/3 of a novel, but lost the file (long story). I used to be big on road-tripping, especially to desert locations, but not so much anymore. God I'm boring now. I just read all the time and take part in discussions like the ones here. I've become so academic I'm barely human any more.

Yes, that he'd want kids because he wanted them, not just to "pass on his genes".

So what's your parenting style?

I am not bound to any area, I moved all over the country with my ex. I love moving into new areas, I actually miss moving.

Movement is great. There's just something about being on the move, even if I never stop. The qualities of the atmosphere shifting against the background mountains and the foreground vineyards; I think I could drift forever and be happy.

Oooh, that would be a dream come true!

Well heck, is there any particular reason that a dream shouldn't come true? What exactly are you waiting for?

 

[Andy]

Well i don't smoke, don't do any drugs either apart from alcohol and caffiene (doesnt look spelt right to me). As for BobG's question, is it something to do with singing or is it that radio show that got bombed by the KKK?

Great. Now, the important stuff - Evo, what is the story behind that, anyway?

 

[Andy]

Before i take credit for that, i spent much a time searching for that and still found nothing so asked Evo herself. And even the great wise (have a mentioned gorgeous before?) wasnt sure of the answer. But a thoguht seeing as nobody else had posted the right answer a mite as well use my initiative.

 

[Evo]

Great. Now, the important stuff - Evo, what is the story behind that, anyway?

The singing or the bombing? Well, actually they're tied together.

When I was 15 I worked at Pacifica Radio in Houston, TX. I did comedy skits late night, news, etc... Pacifica, for those not familiar, especially back then, was a bit "liberal", or as my dad would tell me "a bunch of commies".

We were not popular with the Ku Klux Klan and they bombed our tower. Arlo Guthrie's record was playing when the station was bombed and we went off the air.

When we went back on the air many months later, the PBS show "Great American Dream Machine" did a documentary about us and had Arlo Guthrie come to the station to sing a song he wrote about the bombing. I was placed next to Arlo to "sing along" on the tv show (along with a group of station workers).

note - I found that the show has been archived in the Library of Congress. I have been immortalized.

 

[Astronuc]

Hmmm. I used to listen to KPFT (90.1 FM) or K101. Good stations.


Gentlemen, be nice to lady Evo.

 

[Evo]

Gentlemen, be nice to lady Evo.

Yes, KPFT. You lived in Houston?

 

[Moonbear]

Oh yeah...NO SMOKING!

I don't date men that smoke!

Chewing tobacco is equally disgusting.

No drugs either.

And you have to love coffee. LOTS OF COFFEE.

And no wimps that can't handle being cold at night, I can't sleep if it's warm. I control the thermostat! If you get cold, drink some coffee!

And if you meet all those qualifications, but like to turn up the thermostat (or generate enough heat for two), I'll take you! I can't sleep when I'm cold. I guess Evo and I could never be roommates, we'd have thermostat wars at night!

I'll revise that a bit...I don't require anyone who drinks coffee, just is tolerant of me drinking lots of coffee. Someone who knows how to make coffee is good though, especially if you're a morning person (because I'm not). I can tolerate morning people if they have a cup of coffee ready to shove into my hand as I walk bleary-eyed into the kitchen. But if you're a really talkative morning person, you're out! No talking to me until I've started the second cup of coffee!

 

[Astronuc]

Blast from the past.

 

[Moonbear]

Yes, KPFT. You lived in Houston?

They gave a radio station the call letters KPFT? "Tune into Pffffft radio for all your favorite..."

 

[Evo]

Blast from the past.

Did you listen to KFMK, or were you too young?

Wow ! Great stuff !

I never thought of that!

You'd die in my house. My poor daughter bundles up like an Eskimo, she can't take the cold.

 

[Astronuc]

I think once in a while (97.9FM), but mainly KLOL. Good 'ol times.

Then things started going C&W.

Had to leave town.

Darn now I can't remember if it was KFMK or KLOL that was great for a VERY short period of time, it was an underground station, then it was sold and became more "popular" music. Maybe it was KLOL. This was back when Cy Statum was the late night DJ. You were probably too young.

 

[Astronuc]

It must have been KFMK. I think they disappeared right after I started listening to them more regularly.

KLOL was the premiere Rock (then Classic Rock) station in the early to late 70's. Crash was the principal 101 DJ.

But then we had a bad-ass LP collection and one of the wildest places in town.

I dredge up two old threads from the past, (one just prior to and one just after), ramble on about one of the weird things I did as a kid, and you guys still couldn't find the thread?

 

[Echo 6 Sierra]

KLOL was the premiere Rock (then Classic Rock) station in the early to late 70's. Crash was the principal 101 DJ.

101 KLOL is now tejano/conjunto/la invasion There used to be a station called KBRZ and if I remember correctly the "hot" DJ was Johnny Bond.

 

[Math Is Hard]

101 KLOL is now tejano/conjunto/la invasion

NO!111

Say it ain't so!

 

[Evo]

Hmm, I could go for some gourmet eating. I love gardens, but not gardening.

Perfect, someone to eat my cooking and appreciate my gardens.

Used to be an award-winning portrait artist, but gave it up a couple of years ago.

Why did you give it up?

I have to admit my own interests have been all over the board. I used to write a ton in addition to the portrait thing. Never tried to publish anything, but I took part in a lot of workshops and did public readings, mostly of short stories. I completed about 2/3 of a novel, but lost the file (long story). I used to be big on road-tripping, especially to desert locations, but not so much anymore. God I'm boring now. I just read all the time and take part in discussions like the ones here. I've become so academic I'm barely human any more.

Sounds perfect. That's really bad about losing the novel though.

So what's your parenting style?

Hard to explain. I raised my two girls (you know this right?) to be self confident. I always made them make their own decisions from the very beginning. Clothes, toys, food. Of course they had a limit to what they could choose from, but I didn't stress over if they chose to wear pink shorts with a green top and blue shoes. They didn't have to look like pictures in a catalog. We talked about things and we did what made sense. It was how I was raised and it worked great with my girls. They are well adjusted, bright, and not rebellious. My younger daughter (the child of Evo) complains that I don't call and check on her enough. We're very close. She has a 4.0 grade average, doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs, but she loves to shop.

Movement is great. There's just something about being on the move, even if I never stop. The qualities of the atmosphere shifting against the background mountains and the foreground vineyards; I think I could drift forever and be happy.

I'm the same way.

Well heck, is there any particular reason that a dream shouldn't come true? What exactly are you waiting for?

The child of Evo doesn't graduate from high school until next year. Until then, I won't move. Then she'll go away to college so it won't matter.

 

[Echo 6 Sierra]

Are there any more questions for those still in the running or are they down to the on-the-knees-begging and the hand-feeding of the peeled grapes yet?

Oh, we're still setting up the obstacle course for the tests of strength, endurance, agility, and bravery!

 

[hypnagogue]

I completed about 2/3 of a novel, but lost the file (long story).

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but what was the novel about? What style? Just curious.

 

[Polly]

*thinks to self* ...what a slick way to chime in...

 

[Chrono]

15 pages and still no man, Evo?

 

[Evo]

Everyone is so great, how can I possibly choose just one? Can I have several?
