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.

Trivia Questions 17-20

There will be some trivia questions posed at the reunion in June. To help you prep for such an event from time to time questions will be posed here in the Blog so you can revive some old memories and rev up your response time. To that end here are a few questions:

THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS:
17 What color did Tee paint his room at the 340 Club? That is, his walls, his ceiling, and – alas – his floor?

18. There were two rooms on the third floor; one was Tee’s bedroom … the other room contained a collection of his belongings scattered helter-skelter all over the place. What was the name of that room?

19. Many of the most intimate artifacts, records, and things (several of which will be on display in tomorrow’s debut of Curator’s Corner) that Tee kept for posterity were stored in a confectionary container. What brand of what kind of product was it? What was it known as?

20. On what fitting holiday did Tee lose his virginity at the 328 Club?

LAST WEEK'S Q & A
14. For what event did the 338 Club assemble the largest submarine sandwich, orchestrated by Jimmy Zangari, in West King Street history? The July 21, 1983 United States Football League Championship Game (known in some circles as "The Summitt Bowl"). Unfortunately, the home team – Philadelphia Stars – fell to the Michigan Panthers by a score of 24-22. Jimmy’s sub was 24 feet or so long and stretched from the 338’s living room through the dining room and into the kitchen. The length – 24 (or whatever) – had a specific meaning but I certainly do not remember. Phil offers the reason might not have been symbolic but practical in that the 24' sub was made up of 8 three foot long french bread loaves placed back to back to back.

15. How did Woody Kleinhaus and others solve the dilemma of returning from the kitchen to the living room with enough beers for everybody? If Muhammad won’t come to the mountain one must bring the Mountain to Muhammad. So, Woody, realizing that the two existing refrigerators in the kitchen were one more than was necessary – simply moved one refrigerator from the kitchen to the living room.

16. Who did the freshly showered young Ted Knorr call after stepping in some puppy pooh outside the 340 bathroom? The 340 puppy – belonging to City L – named Scarlet (after the great guitarist) had trouble learning that shitting for dogs unlike humans was an outdoor activity. I shook him often endeavoring to teach him. I did not shake City but I tried to teach him too. Exasperated, I gave up and, ostensibly, called the City Health Department. While I recall completing no such call others, particularily Phil, say that the call ocurred and that it perhaps was not consumatted (i.e. it was busy or a wrong number). Eventually, but not immediately, the dog learnt.
