  Tom,

  Frank, where are you getting these great cartoons? Are you making them up?

  You have heard it said that genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. However, I say unto you that my cartoons are 50 percent Cabeenism and 50 percent plagiarism!

  The Cabeenism is from watching you put together ads for companies like Duracell, and the plagiarism comes from ideas I get from newspaper cartoons. The ads were nothing like cartoons, but they were artistic and attractive. When I stopped working for your company in Connecticut and moved back to Canada, two of my first purchases were copies of Photoshop 5.5 and PageMaker 6.5. I've been using them for fun and profit ever since. Though some of the artwork in these cartoons is mine (via Photoshop), most of it is copied from the royalty-free work of others. There is no greater fun than playing around with the memories we have of life and work at the ol' Brooklyn Bible house!

  Tall Hispanic bro on the right is Eddie Hernandez, right? And the guy in the middle back with the tan suit is Phil Trice! I knew him even before he went to bethel in Kentucky. Haven't thought about him in decades. Last I heard, he was not a dub anymore, and that was 20 years ago! Bob

  Tom says: "Sorry, Warren, but the guy you think is Leo Guerrero is actually Dagoberto Garcia. All these guys were Pressroom. No electricians here!"
  
  Hah!... twins. :-) 30 years requires a lot of us sometimes.

  Hi Marvin,
  
  Mark is an anthropologist. He wanted to distance himself from the whole JW scene, and he has changed his name to that end. Last year I helped him (just a little) to publish and distribute a book he has written about Haiti. He is, as you may have guessed, no longer a JW. I sent him an email with the link to this thread, and suggested that he might find it fun to check it out, but haven't heard back from him yet. I can't give his contact information unless he wants me to.

  Tom,

  Thanks for the information. If he's published in an academic journal I'd love to read his work. I have access to just about everything.

  While we're putting up pics. This band played all music for one of the best family nights ever.

  Carl Johnson on horn and yours truly on bass.

  Ah, yes...from the old "Oklahoma" song "Farmer and the Cowhand Should Be Friends"
  
  Instead of parodying the "Construction and Home Crew Should Be Friends", they could have done one like this: (the original is on the right and mine is on the left, for those unfamiliar with the musical.)
  
  

  Oh the GB and the 'postate should be friends Oh the GB and the 'postate should be friends One man likes his Watchtower fame The other likes Peter, Paul and James But that’s no reason why they cain’t be friends Commentaries, folks, shouldn’t be forbidden. Commentaries, folks, should not be banned Albert Barnes was not so far off Matthew Henry’s still in demand I’d like to say a word fer the GB -- He likes it best without a lot of changes For comfort he loves lots and lots of fences So many they criss-cross the Bible’s pages! Oh the GB and the 'postate should be friends Oh the GB and the 'postate should be friends The GB, like old Popes, decrees: Bring those 'postates to their knees But that’s no reason why they cain’t be friends I’d like to say a word for the 'postate The road he treads is difficult and stony He reads for days on end And knows he might lose all his friends At least they might feel sorry at the "stoning"! Oh the GB and the 'postate should be friends Oh the GB and the 'postate should be friends One man likes his Watchtower fame The other likes Peter, Paul and James But that’s no reason why they cain’t be friends

  Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends, Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends. One man likes to push a plough, The other likes to chase a cow, But that's no reason why they cain't be friends. Territory folks should stick together, Territory folks should all be pals. Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters, Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals. I'd like to say a word fer the farmer He come out west and made a lot of changes He come out west and built a lot of fences, And built 'em right across our cattle ranges. Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends, Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends. The cowman ropes a cow with ease, The farmer steals her butter and cheese, That's no reason why they cain't be friends I'd to say a word for the cowboy-- The road he treads is difficult and stoney He rides fer days on end With just a poney fer a friend I sure am feelin' sorry fer the poney! Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends. Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends. One man likes to push a plough, The other likes to chase a cow, But that's no reason why they cain't be friends.

  Hey wschroeder,

  How'd the rebellious lead guitar player get away with no tie?
