Doug,
That is a good thought, and we have an easy local number to remember. 232-6000

I figure David's tired of his last name being mispronounced, which is the reason for the ad. :-)

I'd rather be called by my actual name, mispronounced or not, than be called what I am typically called. Just don't call me Hula Boy!

I've had people look at may last name, and ask if it's pronounced like it looks. I'm not sure how else Fish would be pronounced, except gross mispronunciations that sound a lot like swear words....
Is Hula Boy kinda the same as Howlie?

Hula Boy means Burke.....Chuck Burke. Shaken but not stirred.

P.S. I looked at their directory and found this. Could this be HULA BOY?

Your radio ad makes it very clear that your name is pronounced "tahk ess" ....... not tuchess.... (devil)

Ed,
I have not met Chuck in person, but I feel like we are friends. Or at least we used to be. Our whole relationship has now changed with the uncovering of this story.

Do you have a problem with a group of people knocking their balls around the grass with a wooden mallet?
Seems a bit judgemental to me...... ;-)

Steve,
Being a golfer, I need to plead the 5th on that one. No judgement here. B-)

Gee ... this 'thread' is getting a bit raunchy .... I like it! Keep it up ... I had no idea Hula Boy was so talented .... I wonder if he has been sniffing too much glue from his wife's upholstery shop?
PSS: David ... your radio spot was great ... good job!

Raunchy? Please get your mind out of the gutter!
Croquet is played on a grass field using wood mallets to knock a wood ball, about 4" in diameter, through a series of "wickets" which are bent wire in the cheap versions and wood arches in the better sets.
Golf is played on a grass field and uses a "bent" stick to hit a smaller ball towards a hole in the ground, ususally marked with a flag on a pole so you can see it from far away. Usually this "game" is described as a nice walk ruined by stressful activities......
What ever were you thinking? :S

The Queen of Hearts seemed to enjoy the game, of course it's always been unclear what they were drinking/smoking to enjoy the game....
There is a link at Chuck's Links page to the Croquet Club, it's not like he's "coming out of the closet" or anything.

Steve.... gee, whatever was I thinking about ... oh, I know ..its 20 degrees outside here right now and I was just jealous of thinking of Hula Boy, aka /Croquet Boy 'living it up with some kind of Hawaian (sp?) drink in one hand and his putter in the other (hand). Now, don't take that the wrong way.... :-) {grin}
Oh, did I mention the foot of snow on the ground around me here?

John,
I am sure one day it is a putter and the next day it is a mallet.

David,
In a previous life I was in fact an announcer on the radio. Both here and in the Seattle area.
You did a damn fine job on the read. Damn fine.

David,
You COULD have simply ASKED me for my address....now I am naked to the world........ what convoluted route did you take to find THAT?
:'-( :D
