But boys, being the insane creatures they are, cannot wait to come crawling out covered with goose bumps and do it all over again.Īlthough Mr. By the time you come out your body is so numb you can't feel where your legs are and your lips have turned blue, hence the name. As far as amusements go, it is on a par with holding your breath until you pass out or dropping from a rope into the freezing swimming hole outside of town named the Blue Devil, so cold that even on a hot day when you hit the water the first shock jolts you to your eyeballs, stops your heart, and makes you see stars before your eyes.

Of course they won't know it at the time, especially their ten-year-old son, Bobby. But soon the Smith family will take in a new boarder who will set in action a chain of events that should eventually wind up in the pages of history books. Ernest Koonitz, the school's band director and tuba soloist, boards with Miss Alma, who, as luck would have it, has a hearing problem. As I said before, I am only included in the story every once in a while but after you finish, I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts you will wonder how I have managed to wind up as goodnatured as I have.Īt present the Smith family's boarder is Jimmy Head, the short order cook at the Trolley Car Diner the Robinsons next door have Beatrice Woods, the Little Blind Songbird the Whatleys up the street have Miss Turtle, the high school English teacher. I have ruined many a book doing just that. And a word to the wise: don't be like me and skip to the last page. I hate when somebody tells me how something ends. I would not even be here, but more important to the story you are about to read, what if Dorothy Smith had never met the Oatman Family Gospel Singers? What if Betty Raye Oatman had never even met Hamm Sparks? What if Hamm Sparks had not met up with foul play? Oh, I could go on and on but I won't. (not an unpleasant thought, considering recent events). So before I get myself out of the way and let you start, I will say this: people's lives are sure ruled by a lot of what-ifs, aren't they?

There is nothing worse than a perky old person. I have a lot of nervous energy but I am not perky. I cannot depend on my children but that's another story. wrecked, not once but twice in six months. I am still paying on my car that Dwayne Jr. Besides I have to go in and try to make sure my daughter does not ruin another customer's hair (a few hairs fall out and they want to sue) or burn the place down again. Believe it or not, I still work for a living although I sometimes wonder why because with all the taxes I pay I could just as well stay home and collect my benefits and do just as good but when I don't fix hair for a few days my fingers get all itchy. Whatley, who thinks her grandson Travis is still working in the tire department over at Sears instead of where he really is and will be for the next five years unless he gets off for good behavior. And as of this morning I have not gone addle brained like my neighbor Mrs. Also I can promise you, this is not one of those personal tell-alls that will bore you to death by talking about how wonderful somebody is now, how bad they used to be but then got saved and now they are wonderful again.

I do not claim to be a professional critic but I like a book with a beginning, a middle, and an end and hopefully a plot and a few laughs in between. The Rooster May Crow but It's the Hen That Lays the Egg.HAMM SPARKS, FOUR OTHERS MISSING - FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.This book portrays characters ranging from Bobby Smith, the son of the well-known radio hostess Neighbour Dorothy, to the phenomena known as the Sunset Club, Dinner on the Ground and the Funeral King.
