The 3rd periodic 340 Club Reunion has been postponed indefinitely

Before there was an Animal House there was a 340 Club; before there was a Dean Wormer there was a Harold "the fuck" Martin; before there was John Blutarsky or a Daniel Simpson Day there was Tim Lutter, Sil Simpson, Dan Joyce, Tim Getzloff, Dick Lichty, Jim Shay, Phil Zangari, Chris Joyce, Dave Petkosh, Mitch Herr, Kenny Giltner, Dean Staherski, Randy Brown, John Emswiler, Sue Krimmell Emswiler and myself; before there were any Delta Tau Chi pledge pins, there were 340 Club cards; before Otis Day & the Knights, the 340 Jukebox; before there were Delta Brothers there were the usual gang of idiots that congregated at 328, 340 (twice) and 338 West King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a decade beginning in August 1974. This blog is dedicated to those idiots and those times. God bless Kenny, Mitch and Chris; may they rest in peace.

Respit

This Blog serves many purposes besides promoting the June 6-7 extravaganza. Among them is no matter where you are in the world (as long as you with laptop or have access to a PC and can access the world wide web) you can still, as you could if you happened to be on West King Street in Lancaster between 1974-84, find refuge at the 340 Club.

Over the Christmas holidays I was enjoying a nice visit with my sister Kathy in Pittsburgh and being hosted at a couple of gatherings by longtime friends of Kate’s (ne Kathy). It was fun and refreshing and different from my usual gang of slobs and idiots. However, at this one particular moment I would have loved to have had another overweight, beer infused, sexist bastard to watch football with rather than to hear this incessant bleating about how Hilary Clinton was going to save the world. Blah, Blah, Blah. Gore? He isn’t even in the race. Obama? That Black Muslim can’t win and that Oprah should stick to her soapy TV show. Edwards? He is a midget. They are all unelectable only Hilary can beat the G.O.P. Blah, Blah, Blah.

ENUFFFF!!! Do you happen to have a PC that I could use to check my e-mail? … you do … well thank you… up the stairs, to the right, peace … turn it on (after soliciting her pass word – but I’m sure its been changed by now) … sweet Lord … blogger.com … now my password … the340club@aol.com … ahhhh! … quickly fire up the Sex Pistols … followed by the Tex-Mex pair – 96 Tears and Wooly Bully … watch it now, watch it … read a little madness … finally to bring me down to a normal level the Toy's Lovers Concerto ... bookmark the site in case I needed to come back … turn off the PC … back to the gathering.

The hostess apparently had taken some Ibogaine or horse tranquilizer because she was off her Hilary soap box although still gently berating her ex-hubbie for his support of Edwards. It was a nice time after that but I don’t know what I’d of done if not for the respit achieved on West King Street through the magic of Al Gore’s invention. Thank you Jesus. Merry Christmas!

P.S. Jenny, if you ever use that bookmark I had a nice time and I appreciate your friendship and hospitality. I also am with you on whomever gets the Democratic nomination needs to win in November.
