Quote of Note

This is my cubicle at work where quotes are posted before they’re harvested.  Trenada is our tape operator extrodinaire and many  quotes come from her church.  One of my favorites:  “Music soothes the savage breast.”

    Will you take a pic of MY desk and pot it?

  2. LindsAy Says:

    Post it.

    Took kids to one of Shreveport’s finer eating establishments after church this morning, “Mr. Gatti’s”, but quote on the wall in the bathroom:

    Hank Aaron - “It took me 17 years to get 3,000 hits and I got all of them in one afternoon playing golf”

    I don’t do golf, but like that quote!! There are more quotes on bathroom wall at Mr Gatti’s, but you will have to go get them your yourselves.

  4. LindsAy Says:

    Oh, I’ve seen them. They’re REALLY funny! Check out the one under Sherri’s telephone number!

  5. George Says:

    You must not have been there lately, because there are quite a few comments under that number now. Actually, some quite amazing comments - Dang, I did not know that was her number - I would have really been embarrassed when I called and found out it was her!! Thanks for the update!!

  6. George Says:

    Do ya think SHE would have sneaked in there and wrote that stuff?? Surely not??

  7. Mel Says:

    I thought you only went to Mr. Gatti’s after ball games. Does anyone remember Shakey’s Pizza?

  8. George Says:

    Aside from soccer/football after game parties - Some still have to go to Gatti’s if you have young teens - however, since my tall, skinny 13 yr old son is the bottomless pit - they lose a lot of money when he walks in there

    My date and I went to Shakey’s on my 1st trip to S’port from Natchitoches for State Fair weekend (fall 1976) - is that where the rebuilt McDonalds is now or is it the building next door??

  9. Kimmy Says:

    hey Sherri! wait to take a picture of LindsAy’s desk…

  10. LindsAY Says:

    George…I have born in 1978! HAH!

    Acutally, my 29th bday is coming up on December 25th that’s right…AND I was baptized on Easter…)

    P.S.-As long as Mel “outed” herself in the previous topic about her being to my left in the pic of “sherri’s friends”…I was the bride. I know, I’m still waiting for Hell to freeze over. I looked pretty cute though for my FIRST wedding.

    However, I must have shrunk in that picture BECUASE I am normally THE TALLEST…I must have had my shoes off.

  11. LindsAY Says:

    Oops…I WAS born in 1978…not “have born in 1978″…

    (yes, rt, I AM correcting myself…again)

  12. George Says:

    Wow, 1978 - yeah, my Shakey’s date was back before the world altered its course forever, since as we know, the world now revolves around ………..

  13. Anonymous Says:

    Shakey’s Pizza was my favorite! Thin crust, black olives–the piano that played by itself–those long tables. Sibs, remember going to the one in OKC on Friday nights when we were kids?

    I love how unusual it is on this site for comments to match the post subject matter!

  14. LindsAY Says:

    I probably would have liked it had I been born then.

  15. Mel Says:

    I loved the player piano and they used to actually flip the pizzas in the air. I’m sure there’s a healthcode against that now. I think it was where the McDonald’s is but I’m not sure.

  16. George Says:

    Think you right about the McDonalds. Forgot about the player piano - there used to be a Shakey’s in Baton Rouge when I was a young teen and we would go there. Vivid memory of listening to “After Midnight” by Eric Clapton on their jukebox (just looked and see that album released in 1970). Gee, yrs go by wayyyy to quickly.

  17. cbp Says:

    I liked watching them make the pizzas and throw them in the air. Was there betteer entertainment anywhere? I think not.

  18. cbp Says:

    …better…
    rt better get over the correction thing.

  19. LindsAy Says:

    cbp…get over yourself.

  20. Sparky Says:

    I just want to say that LindsAy writes like she produced. And I speak for the rest of my Centenary Alumni when I say that Lindsay’s degree was not earned in the traditional academic sense. She received her degree after many extra curricular activities with the faculty. (If you know what I mean) Especially the English Professor!!!!

  21. Danny Says:

    I have a dog named Sparky.

  22. Sparky Says:

    And I bet he is the BEST pet you have ever had. Dependable, loyal, loving, caring, and could direct a newscast like no other dog that you know!!

  23. LindsAy Says:

    Sparky, can I help it if I just have so many wonderful and witty thoughts in my mind that my fingers cramped when I try to type them out as fast as I think of them?! NO!

    And at least I stuck it out through the WHOLE theather orientation class! SOME of us “dropped” it (like it was hot)…

  24. LindsAy Says:

    Hah…”theater”

  25. Sparky Says:

    Most people would have dropped it too when they saw people like you in the class. I mean what a bunch of FREAKS! I had to save myself. But even then no matter where I went you followed me. I went to work for KTBS then within no time you were there too! Did you have a crush on me like that Centenary English professor?!?!

  26. LindsAY Says:

    I said I WANTED to crush you…not that I HAVE a crush on you, Sparky.

    FADE TO BLACK!

  27. Danny Says:

    Yes, my dog Sparky is all those things you say. But, he sometimes pees on the floor….got that problem too?

  28. Sparky Says:

    Only when I get excited…Like when I see Sherri coming!

    Holy Cow-
    Those quotes really lighten up these dull and drab overnights. I could probably fill this website with some of the quotes I have heard around the Dept.
    The manna bread quotes are probably some of the best ones o this here board. But damn you Sherri I now have a more than vivid memory of just exactly how bad that crap was. Thanks a lot I have now wasted years of dsrinking trying to get those brain cells killed off so I would have no memory of that nasty bread/sponge like stuff.

    Great now I have to start drinking heavily again. Wait that is a good thing right?

    Hey you can almost see my Christmas balls in the background of this picture.

  31. LindsAY Says:

    Is THIS Randy Patrick?! Hi, Randy!

  32. Anonymous Says:

    Uh, naked twister, I think you mean we can see your Christmas ORNAMENTS in the background, don’t you? I’d explain those phone booth looking things in the background, but no one is quite sure what they are or why they’re in the newsroom, so we decorated them for Christmas!

    Welcome, Randy P! Yes, bring quotes from the department!

  33. Randy P. Says:

    Yes this is the one and only Randy P. I believe I have found the greatest TV show on the planet on SPIKE TV, Manswers. This is a show that answers all the important questions on every mans mind. Stirring and riveting puzzles which have kept men up for nights on end. Tonight the mysteries of the universe answered will be “Do bigger Boobs float better than small boobs, What is the best place to get shot and how to tell if that hooker your about to pick up is a cop or not.” I know these are some of the things which have kept me from realizing my full potential.

  34. Anonymous II Says:

    Well the holidays should be really fun when a reporter from channel 6 who was arrested for, alleged;y, DWI, no need to go further, returns from suspension.

    Oh the fun times they will be a happen.

  35. Danny Says:

    What is it with those channel 6 guys?

  36. RandyP. Says:

    Not sure but I bet the DWI task force could get their quota if they sat outside their chirstmas party.

  37. LindsAy Says:

    They’d sure get some “Manswers” then…

  38. Mel Says:

    Well, the real boobs floated and the fake ones sank. Don’t ask me how I know.

  39. T-Bone Says:

    DID THE SHREVOPRT POLICE P.I.O. JUST ADMIT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DO HAVE QUOTA’S. I THINK WE MAY HAVE A NEWS STORY THERE.
