The Zappa Door


I think I've talked about the house in Norman that I shared with two roommates...you know, the one with a Frank Zappa mask on the front door and we would look through the eyes when someone knocked on the door? Well I found a picture of it, I use to have a Pentax k-1000 camera that was my constant companion.

rr & tina, Yep I got a Cannon Eos Rebel a few years back but it is computerized and complicated, I miss the simplicity of the K-1000.

JB & apos, sorry not too good at scanning yet.

I remember that door, I also remember the "mechanical couch" that was in the living room, where I allways passed out.
Riding the mechanical couch was like Bull Riding School, only when you are passed out drunk there is really no 9 second rule.
I remember "someone" going to that door when it was knocked on one hazy night.
The door is opened.
There stands some dude, a complete stranger.
Dude says, "Can I have a dollar?"
"Someone" sez, "Yeah. sure."

It was like animal house on our side of the door except for those 5 seconds, then stunned, Stan asked, "Who the fuck was that?"

"Don't know, he went away though." and "Someone" sat back down and started partying, and the Festivus degenerated from there.

I can't believe we can still have coherent conversations after those years, it must have been because we were Zapped.

I would still gladly give a dollar to get along with the world on "The Other side of the Door!"

Sooner I have a pic of you and Mr. X (No, not Malcom). One of you seems to have a rather large bottle of some sort of pharmasuticals(where's spell check when you need it?).
