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.

From the Poet Laureate

Tonight's poem was actually written, not by Chris the poet laureate, but by Randy and Tee. It was written during the period of the Outpost of Humanity just prior to the second coming:

The Wish of Never
By Randy Brown Dixon & Young Ted Knorr, circa 1979

I shoulda never graduated from high school
I shoulda never passed that test
I shoulda never joined the Air force
I shoulda never launched those jets

I shoulda never moved from Cincinnati
Just shoulda stayed in Montreal
I shoulda never wished for Eden
and everlasting life for you all

I shoulda never dreamed of Atlantis
and wished for you eternal youth
I shoulda never taken that knife
I shoulda never tied that noose

I shoulda never wrote this song
and you will never wish to care
