I had some trade remaining with some local radio stations. Here is a radio ad we put together. Radio has always stimulated a little business during the holidays, but if I had to pay cash, I wouldn't use this media. Click HERE!

Years back we did trade with the New Orleans Saints (surely soon to be leaving??) and it was on one of the largest stations in the gulf south. While it did bring our name to the public, it generated very little in sales. However, timing is everything and if I was sitting in traffic, thinking about what I needed to get for Christmas, this ad would peak my interest. It is quick but packed with info. Good luck.

Sounds good David, although, I'm surprised that there is no phone number given.

I've been pronouncing your name wrong.

Good job on the Radio ad.

John, I figure David's tired of his last name being mispronounced, which is the reason for the ad. :-) David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

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! (devil)

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?

No! "Howlie" is a "white boy". Hula Boy means Burke.....Chuck Burke. Shaken but not stirred. Ed Holley Victor Valley Trophy Co. and Coffee Mugs Online www.coffeemugsonline.com

Don't worry Pony Express Boy. We'll NEVER refer to you as "Hula Boy". That name is taken. Or is it "Take S" ? Ed Holley Victor Valley Trophy Co. and Coffee Mugs Online www.coffeemugsonline.com

I was looking up Hula Boy's street address online to ship him an item and ran across Croquet Boy. Could this be our Hula Boy mentioned on the calendar of this link? http://www.mauicroquetclub.org/Calendar.htm P.S. I looked at their directory and found this. Could this be HULA BOY?

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.

David, 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...... ;-) "Genius ain't anything more than elegant common sense." Josh Billings

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!

John, 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 "Genius ain't anything more than elegant common sense." Josh Billings
