[KCDXC] How to encourage KS?

Tue, 17 Dec 2002 06:22:10 -0800 (PST)

Part of the problem is we have so many things to do
here in Kansas.  Why just the other day I was out in
the yard burning leaves.  I know...I know...we don't
have trees in Kansas.  I guess the leaves blew in from
Colorado.

Sometimes we go to the big city and hang out in the
mall parking lots.  It's a lot of fun.  Sure beats
DXing and contests.  We have a game called Car
Roulette.  One guy will walk up and push on the bumper
of a car.  The next guy does the next car and so on
until someone makes a car alarm go off.  Then he's
out.  It's fun!  Oh..we laugh and laugh.  We Kansans
could play that game all day.  (The trick to winning
is not to push on the bumper of a car with a Missouri
license plate.  They all have alarms.  I don't know
why?)

To really get participation in Kansas I recommend the
Missouri folks try a little incentive such as bringing
over beer to Kansas on Sundays.  Being that Missouri
is the state for Satanists and Kansas won't sell on
Sundays.  I understand Wyandotte County (Little
Missouri) is trying to sell but that hasn't been
blessed by the high priests in Topeka yet.

Really...stick with the B's.  Beer, burritos,
babes...you just can't go wrong sending those things
over.

P.S.  WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WEATHER???!! Real windy and
cold here today.  I kinda liked that mid 60's weather
we had yesterday.
