Well.... it's been10 years since I retired and have loved every minute of it!!!! Retirement is the World's best kept secret.. lol.</div>

What I enjoyed most that evening on Halloween October 31, 2003 was the party at Rob Higgin's place "Kokopelli's"! For anyone who attended here are a few photos of the evening. I would suppose that most of you have aged somewhat over the years as I have. It was a great night. Thanks to all who attended. In the event that you're photo isn't displayed... Cry me a river...join a self help group ... it wasn't because you weren't loved... lol.</div>

And while I'm at it I'd like to introduce you to Ken Davis, a truly funny guy. I'll have more of his videos published shortly on this Blog. A great comedian who does NOT use vulgar language in this day and age. Just imagine, you can actually let your kids watch this guy.<br />
<br />
This video in no way reflects on Mongo. Well....maybe a little.... ENJOY and feel free to comment.<br />

Wow..how time flies, huh? Believe it or not that's D.C Phil Boots on the far left. Phil now has shares in Rogain. I thought it was a long lost 20 year old older brother at first. Followed by the Chief, then D.C Don Bennett's father and Assistant Chief Brian McLaughlin<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ok... the Chief, next is D.C Bruno Bertucci with hardly any hair! Next is Assistant Chiefs Brian
McLaughlin and Steve Laforet . Steve is now entering a Bhudda look
alike contest.<br />

Ok...now we have Kam Lauzon (not sure if Kam is a chief or not), a middle aged Captain Winton Marchant, Captain Mike McLeod and Assistant Chief Dave Hart. I think Dave just recently swallowed a pillow. <br />

Gabby Hayes look alike D.C Terry Gifford and Captain Dave Steen. By the looks of him I don't believe Dave will be doing any marathons too soon. <br />

I always enjoyed working with Captain John McLeod! What I didn't like
was the punishment for well timed zingers that were directed at him. I remember working with him at the
new #2 station at Richmond and Walker Rd. For some reason I always got more pleasure
receiving punishment when all the crew were present.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One morning during coffee after roll call I looked at John and thought, <i>“who
does he remind me of????”</i> The thought stayed with me and during soup the answer
came to me. Good grief, he resembles the Big Boy guy in front of their restaurant on Tecumseh Road. So, being fearless as I
was I asked him if he needed a part time job. He replied,<i> “Not sure; what is
it?”</i> I answered, <i>“Well, Cap, if you have a pair of red
and white checker overalls you can stand in front of the Big Boy restaurant with a
tray and work for minimum wage!”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">The rest of the crew laughed but a large can of whoop ass was
opened especially for me. </span>Jack Lodge RIP February 5th, 2017 LODDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240606988028142381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20891732.post-31921959332073773462013-06-17T16:58:00.000-04:002013-06-17T16:58:10.133-04:00Life as a Marine<i>Got this from Norm; a friend in Texas...read a few like this but this one is the funniest in my opinion.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear Ma and Pa,</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
I am well. Hope you are too. Tell brother Walt and brother Elmer </span><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(pictured left)</span></i><span style="font-size: small;"> the Marine
Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick
before all of the spots are filled.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed 'til nearly 6
a.m. But I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you
do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop,
feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay -- practically nothing.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
Men have to shave, but it's not so bad; there's warm water. Breakfast is strong
on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on
chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food; but
tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys who live on coffee.
Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon, when you get fed again.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
We go on "route marches," which the platoon sergeant says are long
walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A
"route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the
city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the
school board. Majors and Colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother
you none.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
This next bit will just kill Walt and Elmer with laughter. I keep getting
medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk
head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at
home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even
have to load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle
with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, cuz they break real
easy. It ain't like fighting with that old bull at home. I'm about the best
they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only
beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6" and 130
pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300 pounds dry. Be sure to tell Walt and
Elmer to hurry up and join the Marines before other fellers get onto this setup
and come stampeding in.</span><br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
Your loving daughter, Alice</span></span></div>

At #2 station Dennis Leslie had apparently eaten too much for dinner. According to Dan to the tune of 2 or 3 plates full. While they were doing dishes Dan says John Swan made the comment, "Woogie takes a beatin' and keeps on eatin'.<br />

Swannee always was a quick wit.<br />

back in the 70’s. At the time it seemed
everyone with hair in the department had to go out and get this new “do”. The
only intelligent ones who decided against it were the ladies who were employed
there at the time. So much for the male gene for intelligence being dominant.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Let me describe the look: the
hair was curled tightly and then a hair solution known as a permanent was
applied. The successful results appeared like those in the picture (inset). Well
kind of. They even had these special combs called ‘picks’ that were used to
fluff out the “Do” to enormous proportions. The hair defied gravity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Guys were flocking to the hairdressers like lemmings flying over the
nearest cliff! Most results were fantastic! Some should have had serious
reconsideration. Most of the guys looked like they should be dancing on the old
TV program <span style="font-family: "Blackoak Std";">Soul Train</span> and acted
like they must be interviewed by the host of the show Don Cornelius. I swear
one time out in the parking lot at headquarters I heard a group of the guys in
a van lip syncing to<i> Harold Melvin and
the Blue Notes:</i> <b>Please Don’t Leave
Me This Way! </b><br />

Not to be outdone I had the audacity to think that I might look not
half bad myself if I gathered enough courage to go and have the latest “Do”
myself. At the conclusion of the procedure I took a look in the mirror <i>“...WOW...not bad</i>”, I thought. Not
perfect; but, still not too bad. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">This event occurred at the new #2 during the middle of the afternoon. </span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Dennis Axford was explaining to the guys how
he had visited a friend of his one afternoon at said friend’s apartment building.
Apparently his friend was the manager of the building and was concerned because
one of the tenants had a bad habit of not paying the rent on time. Dennis
explained that during the visit his friend had asked him to accompany him to
the tenant’s apartment to collect the rent. When Dennis asked him why he needed him to assist him
his friend replied</span><i style="text-align: justify;">, “Well...if things get
out of control or heat up I might need you for “backup”.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Dennis had obviously refused because he said to us around the table<i>, “Hey, look at this face; I can’t afford to
get it messed up”. </i>Dennis had apparently thought of himself somewhat as a
heartthrob at the time and compared himself with other handsome leading men
such as Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>
I always thought he looked more like Woody Allen myself.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
My mind cleared at that moment and I could actually picture myself
throwing the Zinger when the timing was perfect. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Like a perfectly timed moment in history the opportunity opened up when
Dennis began to speak. Not realizing what was about to happen he made the
following remark, <i>“I have no idea why the
guy would ask me up there if he knew I wasn't a street fighter! What was he
thinking?”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
The Zinger left its comfortable place and sped towards
the target with precise accuracy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
I replied, <i>“The guy probably
wanted to use the jawbone of an ass for protection.” <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Dennis’ jawbone dropped and one of the senior guys even got up and
shook my hand, <i>“Good one, Lodge”, </i>he
laughed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Come to think about it I haven’t seen Dennis for some time now. Hummmm.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After dinner at the old #2 station guys were pouring coffee when all
of us got involved in a discussion whether or not rock and roll bands used
drugs during their concerts. The conversation was basically between Pat Cushing
and Ron Perreault with others adding to the conversation with all their
collective intelligence. I heard a quote one time that clearly illustrates this particular point in time during this discussion. The poet Keats once said, <i>"I have seen a group amass a thimble full of knowledge"</i>. A fitting statement at this particular time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now before we
go any further it was a well known fact that Ron was an accomplished musician
and possessed a great set of vocal chords. Also it was a known fact that Ron
<b>DID NOT</b> use drugs at any time. </div>

It seems
the best form of Zinger is one that slants the truth somewhat : ) Ron made the
point that successful rock bands couldn't function properly on drugs during a concert because of the extreme
concentration required at the time. Pat saw the perfect timing for his zinger and fired away! It flew between 5 guys on either side of the table and landed with perfect accuracy! He actually accused Ron
of using drugs simply because Ron was a musician! Ron was incensed at the
accusation (well, not really incensed; but, rather a little “annoyed’ at the
remark). Ron stated, <i>“You’re wrong, Pat... I've never used drugs at any time!”</i>.
Pat waited until Ron defended himself and retorted, <i>“Oh really? Well it’s 5:30 now and you haven’t blinked since Noon!”</i> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Even Ron ended up laughing at this one. Pat-1
Ron-0</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
More to come when I set the scopes on other Zingers. Have a
good day, everyone.</div>

Those <b>sarcastic
</b>short one liners that are directed at someone to embarrass them. Zingers
were and probably still are pretty active around the dinner table in most fire
halls. Evan Fournier probably said it best a few years ago.</span><br />

A few pics below. All tips appreciated! : )<br />
