You are right Doc. It didn't have nothing to do with food. I just came here because I wanted to post about Thumper so it's recorded.

Record it somewhere else. It doesn't belong in a Roadfood Forum

No it was a serious reply to a less than serious post. Or if it was a serious post at best GMF post. A 45 year long friend of mine died yesterday morning while at his doctors office and I'll miss him but I'd never post it here other than to reply to your silly reply. What does any of the original post mean, or have to do with a food forum?

Music therapy. Thumper was a metal-head. He played piano, guitar, base and tuba. Not at the same time but he played each well. And he sang bro. His voice was so.....wonderful. He could sing a Beetles balad with soul and his metal Cookie-Monster was mythic. Know that growl thing we do in heavy-metal? That animalistic and gutteral "woof"we do? That's called "Cookie Monster".

As I hung out with his friends among the great Northern Arizona heavy metal scene last night, we kept trying to find songs that DIDN'T remind us of Thumper but we couldn't. Thumper was omnivorous in terms of music.

In other words, there is no singing in Northern AZ right now. There is no dancing. And us elders in the scene are saying "what about the kids?" and we are preparing to adopt.

The idea has already been floated to do a heavy-metal fund-raiser but this is different. It's not like Thumper needs bail money this time. We got kids to look out for. So this day I have announced that I will take Thumper's oldest son Mikey. He's 9 now. I haven't seen him since he was 3.

I'd given up the scene. I ain't seen none of these people in 6 years. But when Oz hears his friends are hurting, he comes not walking, Oz comes running. Oz shows up with lights and sirens and a police escort. Talk about a day late and a dollar short.

I just can't believe that after all these years, after 2 kids, Thumper never got that monkey off his back. And this is what is making me cry right now is I THOUGH HE HAD IT LICKED. SORRY TO ALL-CAP BUT LAST TIME I SAW HIM HE SAID HE WAS CLEAN, THAT HIS NEW KID HAD TURNED HIM AROUND, HE WAS WORKING HARD AND SAVING MONEY FOR THE KIDS.

So now I got a bad case of the "if onlys". If only I had known. Oz don't walk when his friends need help, he runs. Sometimes Oz gets there in time. Oz has jumped into burning cars to save people in his day, Oz was a life-saver. But not this time.

Oz is old and Oz thought he had done with the days of finding a buddy dead with a needle sticking out of his arm. It's happened too many times. Way too many times. Once was too many but then it became almost gratuitous (from Death's perspective) and now it's just sick. We have a 9 year old and a 3 year old little girl now. Thanks a lot Thumper.

If you were me, and running a house on a modest budget, which would you take? The little gal or the first-born son? I'd take them both but know what's gonna happen?

There is already competition.

See Thumper died so well beloved by his friends and we are all family men. We ALL want the kids. There is already an argument. We will ultimately solve this disagreement in traditional heavy-metal fashion. We will sharpen our blades and prepare for combat and dress up in our most glamorous fashion and do a highly esoteric imitation of battle. Some guys will even wear make-up and black finger-nail polish. That would be the Goth factions weighing in. Goths are known for notoriously unpredictable males but entirely predictable females. Goth women are pretty solid and they are all pretty.

There are certain rules that apply among the sub-cultures. Hippy females can be trusted with children for short periods of time. Goth girls make excellent moms for a longer period because they know what it's like to be an outcast and they know what it means to tribally protect their own. For anything longer term you need a Native American because we remember ALL THINGS FOR ALL TIME.

To summarize, I am going to make my bid for BOTH SON AND DAUGHTER. I will encounter resistance. If I get only one, I will call this good. But what I consider best of all is THIS IS NORTHERN ARIZONA HEAVEY METAL. We will take care of our own. These kids have lost their dad but they have many fathers. They have many mothers and aunts and uncles and cousins and brothers and sisters. They are rich in love. We are a tribe.

Today I urge all people to hug somebody and tell them you love them. And to make such familial and tribal relationships with those you love. Build this in your life so that in your death you don't have to worry. For no money can buy the kind of insurance these kids now have. They will be loved and taken care of. If not by me, then by another brother who has bested me in combat or by counsel. For us brothers are fully prepared to fight. And I'm an elder, I'm part of counsel.

My counsel is to think of somebody that would leave a hole in your heart if they went away. My counsel is to think of the hole as being something to defend with all the love in your heart. For if ye have love in your heart and defend this hole, ye can be sure that this hole will be filled up with new love.

Greetings, OZ!

I used to be a very arrogant and a "tough" person the most time of my life. A protective function for me, behind this mask was a very sensitive human being.

In the year 1992, I went trough a 12 weeks long psychotherapy, and I learned, to let my tears out..., a very important relief, this experience in the group therapy sessions changed my whole life...

All the best for you

Michael (Germany)

P.S. "Music Therapy" was very important back then, it helped a lot...

Sorry to hear about your friend, Oz!

(And I feel you about people being so secretive - I don't get it and I'm a woman. I answer people's questions honestly about this business because I figure only about 2% will actually go through the work to set it up and make a go of it...too many give up after they figure out you won't become a millionaire over night.)

Take Care!

Greetings!

There is a plattdeutsch (low german) saying, my Grandma used it very often, when I had a bad time.

"Kiek nich int Muusloch, kiek in de Sünn...!"
(Do not look in the mousehole, look into the sun)

This stands for positive thinking, thank you, Grandma Alberta.

Kind regards from Germany

You can always try the loophole of "Sweetie...I will post no more on Roadfood....than I normally would have posted on Roadfood...otherwise"

The wife is mad because I "keep giving away all our secrets". I'm like honey, everything we know about this business we learned from somebody else.

See the wife thinks now that Old Pete is gone, all of the old hot dog guys will slowly die off, leaving her and me as the only two people on planet Earth that know how to make a good hot dog.

What is it about people in general and women in particular that they gotta be so POSESSIVE about everything?

Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical. I write today because my buddy Thumper died and I gotta be strong for his woman and kids and sometimes even us big guys have to cry. So this is Oz crying.

And sometimes even us big strong men need some friends to talk to.

So this is me, Oz, talking to my friends. And by friends I mean to say you folks.

Life is short. Tell the people you love that you love them. And take advantage of this day to be nice to somebody, expecially hot doggers. I'm pretty sure it says in the bible some place "receive the hot doggers for some of ye have unwittingly entertained angels".
