Participates in Parade
The management of the Road Kill Cafe has decided to sponsor a special float in the downtown parade July 4. Float builders have been constructing the "Oil Patch"float in Pasadena California for the past two weeks and delivery is expected on July 3 in time for the parade. The design was developed by noted float builder Bruceof Pasadena in and is made of native grasses, tumbleweeds and yucca plants. The main feature is a operating pump jack powered by an authentic Johnny Popper gas engine. Manning the float will be all your favorite characters--employees of the Road Kill Cafe. They will be throwing things (better not say) to the crowd.On the float will be Chef Andre', Maitre' D Jacque, "Bubba", and of course, everyone's favorite waitress, "Bubbles" Biguns.The staff will also be one hand at the On Line Picnic, July 3 to meet and greet loyal readers, and to pose for pictures. Also expected for a surprise visit is Dr Psycho Babble who has been away for a few months gathering his wits.

Sounds good to me! I am looking forward to seeing the terrific float.
If I can be of help, please let me know. Anything to make the Eunice
parade bigger and better!

Why not have a Miss RKC complete with a contest. Then the winner gets
to ride on the float. Instead of a swimsuit competition, you could have
a cooking contest!!! Wow I can hardly wait to see this float! I am sure
that it will be the hit of the parade. LOL
BEVERLY HARVEY 1967
Glenn, I woke up with a troubling thought. What are you planning to
use to decorate this float???????? Bev
GLENN ELLIOTT 1951
LOL.... various and assorted animal hides we've been
saving these many months. Don't march behind us! Glenn

Sorry that I won't be in the competition for the float. I seem to have
lost my cookware. The handles just didn't seem to fit my hands anymore!
I am still very anxious to see the float. Keep up the good work.
LOU CREECH 1960
Glenn I am behind you all the way. I will be at the parade with bells
on. I want you to know how much all of appreciate you and all you are doing
for this special reunion. If I can be of any help just contact me at Donna
and Dusty Landreth's.
I will be in on Friday. COUNTING DOWN!
BEVERLY HARVEY 1967
Glenn, After that rousing statement of support from Lou, I suggest
you make her Miss RKC. We can fashion her special ensemble from the pelts
of the RK! What do you think???? Maybe we could make a crown with rattlesnake
rattlers.
LYNDA RAGAN 1960
Glenn, If Ms. Bubbles cannot attend the parade for some reason or another
I will fill in for her. Of course I know there will be many disappointed
men if she does not show up but alas someone has to be on that float. Might
I suggest that you have the strains of " When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" or
" My Wild Irish Rose" playing as the float makes its way down main street?
Now that I have offered I need to know if I will have to wear anything
that has been run over, drug down the highway, peeled off the front of
a truck or beat to death?? If so I will have to rethink my offer!
BEVERLY HARVEY 1967
Fred, I just know you have some ideas of how to fancy up this float!
We want to make sure it is one that is always REMEMBERED! Got any ideas?

LOU CREECH 1960
Hey I'm game as long as the pelts have been tanned. I am ready for
anything that comes along for this reunion. Just make sure the pelts are
clean and don't smell. LOL
GLENN ELLIOTT 1951
Actually I have been thinking about use of the pelts
for quite sometime, since we've been open. We've collected hundreds in
various colors and considered a new fashion collection called "Cave Man
Chick". I hope to get models to wear them on a New York runway if I can
find enough skinny, burned out, scarecrows to show them off. We'd send
"Bubba" dressed in all black with a ring in one ear to be the presentation
host. Of course, CNN will cover it. What do you think of it?The Road Kill

LOU CREECH 1960
Hey Glenn I think that is the best idea yet. Let me know how things
transpire on this. Good luck. I will be looking for the float in the parade.
FRED TUCKER 1960
Bev As far as I can see it looks as if Glenn has everything pretty
well covered. The only thing I might suggest is for the protection of the
lucky girl that gets to be the RK Queen is we may need to make a silly
putty bubble for her to ride in so just in case some of those bird nest
lovers get to throwing rocks at the float she will be protected by a silly
putty bubble.
BEVERLY HARVEY 1967
Fred, Maybe we need to make you Mr. RKC so that you can be the lucky
girl's body guard. I can just see you looking very caveman-like in those
RK pelts! Of course, we might end up with a riot on our hands. It would
probably end up looking like one of those Elvis Presley concerts with the
girls screaming and fainting in the streets as the float passes by with
you in those really cool RK pelts! Hmm. Maybe that isn't a good idea after
all. Hey do you have your RKC hat yet? Bev
FRED TUCKER 1960
Bev OK and no ma'am.
JOHN HIGGINS 1966

is an article entitled: Wanted: Someone to Pickup Roadkill. Position in
Stroudsburg, PA, need HS diploma or GED, career opportunity in Mornoe county,
up to $25K/year picking up roadkill. Official title "Roadway Sanitation
Technician"
BEVERLY HARVEY 1967
John, Hmmmmmmmmmm! Don't know of anyone who might be interested in
the job, but I bet Glenn would be interested in serving up some Pennsylvania
RK. Could have it flown in to Eunice. (You know how they fly in Maine lobster?
Same idea!) Wonder what kind of exotic dishes he might serve up? Oh yum!
GARY MORAN 1964
I guess I'll have to bring some baggies, and scoop up any deliciacies
I see on the way, sounds like the chef has a significant variety of recipies.
Or maybe it would be better to just tie a toe sack on the back and drag
them in, I bet the basting would help the taste!!! Saw a coyote last night,
but I didn't think it would survive the trip, I'll watch for flat cats
on the way.
BEVERLY HARVEY 1967
Glenn, You better let Bubbles know she is going to be working
during the reunion. Sounds like Gary may be bringing enough food for everyone.
You might can talk the organizers of the Monday night reunion dinners into
letting you cater.
