| Snippy is reliving his years as pocket pool champion of SE Kansas. The only other event of note in SE Kansas is the Green Parrot Bar in
Galena, a real dive, with, when I was there 40 something years ago, the
oldest mechanical condom vending machine in the United States. I had been spending a short vacation with a college buddy who lived on a
small farm in Joplin, MO, and out of boredom one night, we headed over
to the Green Parrot, got rip-roaring drunk, borrowed a few cafeteria
trays, and went sliding down the chat piles. A deputy found us, thought
we were too drunk and disorderly to drive home, and offered us a room
for the night. Those were the days, my friend. |
