Comments: Hi Chris,
Yep, it's me, your old scouting and D&D pal. Long time. I see you have
worked the football fantasy leagues past
their early Atari iterations. And in Los Angeles? For the love of
the Game- Why? Did you get your NESA Eagle Registry Letter? Did you call
in like a sucker like me? I thought of you a year or two ago when I
started getting these odd black and white photocopied sheets left all
over my neighborhood. Strangely enough, it was a picture of
the 1986 JV Bowling team of
which I was sadly a negligent part. When I finally tracked down the
perpetrator of this scandalous mis-deed, I discovered that pic is
available by Googling my name. Nothing about my children's book or
different awards over the years, just that. It was good for a laugh, but
I'm afraid I owe you a moderate beating next time we meet :) Anyway, if
you get the chance, drop me a few lines. Our 20 year reunion is next
month so I have been in touch with people I haven't heard from in, well
20 years, so I've been almost as nostalgic as when my dad died. BTW, I'm
living in Kennesaw, GA now. My email address tells you where I work, but
if you still do bang-bang work on websites I'll have to try harder to
reach you. You can look at my dilapidated and outdated one and see what
I've doing with my spare time (no, it's not porn! Sheesh, why does
everyone automatically think... but I digress.)
www.jonfrankow.com is the
address.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Comments: Great Page. But not one mention of the Heart
concert anywhere? We got a ride home with a guy with a GUN!!!
[Note from the editor: Ah, sweet memories. Just an hour or so
after hearing the Wilson sisters belt out a gawd-awful version of Led
Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll", a tire on the Murphmobile went flat in the
middle of no where on 422. We were about 15 minutes past King of
Prussia, we believe not far the prison, and there was no lug wrench in
the car. 10 minutes later a kind gentleman pulled over, curious
why four teenaged boys - myself, Murph, Tom Holland and Steve Julian -
were standing on the side of the road staring at a flat tire in an
effort to mentally fix the hole and inflate the tire. Fortunately,
he had a lug wrench. Unfortunately, it didn't fit the lugs on
Murph's car. Sooooo..."Where do you live?" Reading.
"Wow...that's not very close. I don't care...Hop in!" Steve
was the first one to start to get in the car when he froze. "Get
in, you fool, I'm cold." Steve mumbles, "A gun." "Get in,
moron, what's your problem." "A gun, a gun, a gun." "Sooooo...get
in." And off we went. It's 1AM or so, and we're in a car
with a strange dude with a gun laying on the floor of the passenger
side. How evil could he be? He was blaring Phil Collins.
What kind of guy listens to Susudio and abducts teen-aged boys?
Suddenly, he gets off at an exit...NOT our exit. We all look at
each other with a crooked smile and shrugged. 5 minutes later - or
what seemed like eternity - he pulled into a gas station. Whew.
Back on 422 we went. Not many people on the road, but at one point
he got stuck behind two cars next to each other, going about the same
speed. "Watch this!" he says, as he pulls out his flashing
volunteer fireman's light, reaches out the window, and pops it on the
top of his car. "Works every time." Going about 90 MPH, we
were home in no time at all.]

Comments: I totally agree with your Bitch of the month, but
then again, the question still remains, why don't people understand it.
It remains an enigma.
[Note from the editor: This was the bitch...]
Just how many emails do some people need to respond to before they
realize what "Reply to All with History" means? OK, maybe the
first time you use email you don't realize what you're doing, but
after the email has bounced back and forth 50 times, you'd think
someone with half of a brain would realize that they just send the
same 5 MB attachment back and forth a dozen times. Jesus,
delete the attachment before you hit send already!
And if I don't know you, I don't need to hear your witty response to
the email. It's why we aren't friends. If you were
funny, I would have befriended you by now. But you're not, so if
you have to reply to all - please erase me from the distribution
list. It only takes a second. You clearly have time.
All you're doing is responding to jokes all day long. Would
another wasted second kill you? I think not.
And why must I scroll down two dozen times before I get to your lame
forwarded urban legend? Would it be asking so much for you to
delete the names of the millions of people before you who also think
you will get a check in the mail from Bill Gates for a gazillion
dollars or a gift certificate from Cracker Barrel for just forwarding
the email to a few "friends"?

[Note from the editor: Yes, we did. We spent the
weekend in New York City. Tracy Holland recommended that we stay
in White Plains instead of spending a bazillion dollars for a hotel in
the city. She pointed us towards
The Doral Arrowwood
Resort in Rye Brook, NY. It did not disappoint, particularly
for a very reasonable $139/night. Manhatten was then a short train
ride away. Saturday afternoon, we went to see Ground Zero, Chicago
(which included a role played by none other than Huey Lewis!), wandered
about town and ate dinner on Saturday night at a place in Little Italy
called Da Nico Ristorante.]

Hello from Sebastopol, California, USA
I was surfing the web for toilet etiquette articles and I saw your site
and thought you might enjoy what I've written here.
Many places do not have unisex toilets but you all probably have the
same problems at home as everyone
else with toilet seats being left up by the men.
For as long as I can remember I have always put the seat of the toilet
down and not only that but lowered the lid too.
It didn't occur to me until late in life that others of the male
persuasion would almost uniformly leave the seat up after using the
facilities..... just in case they were going to return, soon, I guess.
Women I've known have taken great exception to the seat being in an up
position. particularly late at night which prompted this limerick given
to me early in 2003 (written by a man) I suppose.
Her feet flew into the air
Her face turned crimson red
She felt both cold and wet
And wished that she were dead
Now the moral of the story is:
Never sit down abrupt-
Always look behind you
For the seat may still be up
Anon
My answer to this is this:
Seat up - seat down
An argument to cause a frown
Lid down brings fortune good
Fair for all its understood
JWM 2003
I've since added to this by pointing to good feng shui and the increased
good fortune, pleasantness and good humor that abounds by this simple
courtesy.
I now make small tent style paper signs for the bathroom to convince
people to lower the lid on the toilet for (good feng shui) which appeals
more often than not to the feminine gender ......(with the lid down so
is the seat), but men also like some of the limericks I offer.
I also make some for the institutional lidless variety......a little
more pointed in phrase; these adhere to the wall with double-stick
poster tape.
If you are interested and want a few samples........GoTo:

[Note from special guest editor Kirsten Cheskey: Wow! To be honest,
the potty mouth calling you an asshole a while
back pushed the level of guestbook interest up a notch for me.
Obviously, Mr. McCullough thought so too. I fear this is just the
beginning of messages pushing toilet accessories. If you get one about a singing seat, send him my way. Feng Shui,
Schmeng Shui! Life is better with a singing toilet seat.
Kirsten] [Note from special guest editor
Sue Hohenadel: Now there's a man with a future! Paper notes for public
toilets to remind people to put the seat down. Maybe he can expand his
inventory and remind people to:
1. Flush
2. Not pee on the seat that's been lowered
3. Only flush toilet paper and not diapers, paper towels, stuffed
animals, half eaten cheeseburgers, etc.
4. Save the eyeliner for the eyes, and not waste it on writing ditties
like "Tif luvs Mikey 4-ever" or the ever popular "Sandy is a dirty slut"
Or maybe he can print his reminder notes on actual toilet paper so that
there is an emergency piece in the event the role is empty.
Gadzooks! This an is onthe somethung big!
Now if we can teach he difference between a limerick and a shitty,
senseless poem...
Rhyming doth not a poet make, loser.

Chris, with interest compounding annually and late fees included, how
much do you think Mr. Casner owes
you at this point? I suggest putting him on a payment plan and sending
him a booklet of payment coupons to relieve himself of the

[Note from the editor: Quick, call the Waaaaambulance! Sounds like
somebody's upset that when they Google their name, they get reminded
that they were a deadbeat sponsor.
And just curious, why is Derek Wilson getting credit for
a team he didn't even play on?
For a guy who's so sure he doesn't owe me money, you'd think he'd at
least know who played on the team. (And, no, 2 games in the Fall
League doesn't count - we never needed sponsorship money for the Fall
league.)

How can any man like "brie"?
How can any woman like it for that matter? I had the unpleasant
experience of trying the chicken with pecan crust and melted
brie at Viva's. It should
be a crime to do that to a chicken. I was still tasting that awful
cheese two days later. Cheese Wiz in a can has it beat by a long long
mile. Try the fish.
[Note from the editor: Funny story, though. While at Viva with
Steve and the rest of my department at work for our Christmas luncheon,
glutton for punishment that I am, I again ordered the Brie. In
jest, I told the waitress that the last time I ordered Brie at Viva, the
girl told me, "Wow, I've never had a man order Brie before." To
which this one said, "Now that you mention it, I've never had a man
order Brie before, either."]

Hey Chris, I just found my bands CD "Pacific Ocean Park" on your
website listed as a recent purchase! Thanks so much. Beit
that I was the guy who wrote the album and produced it, I thought I
would give you a personal note here to thank you for the love. How did
you like it? and where did you find us? We don't have a record label or
anything. We did the whole thing out of my garage, so it would be
good to get some feedback.
Thanks again!
Much Love,

Hi, Chris ...
Just checking in to see what's new with you and your friends these
days.
I left a movie review of the 1968, original version of
The Thomas Crown Affair,
which starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Being an "old dude," I
know about this stuff, and thought it might be of interest, in
connection with your reviews of the remake with Pierce Brosnan.
Hope all is well with you these days.

to Central. People I was surprised to see pictures of on your

Eric Bausch

Leon Pace was instrumental as a mentor for
me in the Summer of 1985 as a playground leader at the Summer Rec. at
Mt. Penn (He and Jeannie Hanahoe.) I grew up at 40 north 23rd street in
Mt. Penn and have so many good memories and wished to God that I had
more pictures of The Majestic, The Chink Shop, The A-field, Jake's
(pre-1990), The Mt. Penn playground, etc. If you have any POST THEM on

There once was a big stud named Chris
Who married a sweet Orbit miss
They had a dog Spot
And now they do not
He's gone to the deep dog abyss
These two have a sweet little girl
Who has tons of beautiful curls
She's cute as a button
And yummy as mutton
And so smart, she'll one day rule the world
But to Chris I dedicate this rhyme
I email him lots of the time
He resembles an owl
Never wears a scowl
And photographs my kid drinking Mike's Lime
I've never heard Chris get too loud
I've never seen pigs in a cloud
Never seen a cow ski
But I've seen Malinowski
Take his pants off in front of a crowd
So as this bad poem hits the end
Please note now before I hit send
I did do my besticle
Not to say testicle
Oh well... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND!!!

Bruce
Bochy was on my team can be adjusted to refelect his current
managerial prowess with the Padres. Bruce's terminally crossed eyes
should have no bearing on your decision so please judge him based on his
inner beauty alone. Also, please consider the fact that I viewed his
baseball future as a diamond whereas the other owners saw nothing but a
lump of coal.
[Note from the editor: I'd do that, but then, out of
fairness, I'd also have to include Bruce Benedict who cancels out

I'm here to clarify something. The body was NOT in the Schuylkill
River. It was actually in the Susquehanna River. His name was Flip and
he was a swell guy. (sniff) I'm moved to tears... And in Flip's
memory I offer this:
Flip you were a jolly lad
And to us joy you gave
'Tis sad to think of your demise
Into the watery grave
Floating lifeless castaway
A sheet upon your head
'Til unsuspecting walker man
Sees you and thinks you're dead
Running breathless to a phone
His undies filled with pee
The walker man he calls the cops
"Guess what my eyes did see?"
Throwing donuts in the trash
Policemen on the run
Launch a boat retrieve the corpse
"Look what some kid has done!"
Beneath the sheet is not a head
Instead a basketball
A body made from 'Reading Times'
Is not a man at all
Grumbling back into their car
Policemen start to pout
"For this I threw my donut down?"
Go back and dig it out
As for Flip his legend lives
Unto this very day
Another sad example of
Ostrowski boys at play
As for the Bowling for Cars.....uh....no comment....

I'd like to know how it is that

previously. Considering he has added to this page TWICE since
that time. Also, I should say "hi" to my Wendy's friends who include
Steve Ostrowski; I worked
there in high school. While I'm at it, I also worked at McDonald's in
high school and should remember those friends too. But, I must admit,
while I never stole the salt and pepper shakers in college, I once was
followed in the Wawa in the 15 hundred block of Locust Street in Philly
under suspicion of previous thefts. Now my conscious is clean.
[Note from the editor: Speaking of Steve Ostrowski, I
think he might have some things to get off his chest, too. The far

In confessional mode, I too stole salt and pepper shakers when I was

you when you went in complaining of a sore throat...

to obtain the proper qualifications to work in a college infirmary.

the name Lorie.

Comments: Chris, I found out about your page from
Mark Schwartz. It's nice to see and
read about people I haven't seen in years.
[Note from the Editor: Does everyone understand the great significance
of this Guestbook entry? Or, rather, not the significance of the
entry as much as the tremendous significance of Mr. Alan Ganas himself
(who, by the way, is a bartender at Bertie's, location of the Best
Burgers in Berks.) He, and he alone, is responsible for the
moniker "My Pal Chris Mal." Yep, it's true. If I was somehow
making money off of this, he should probably get royalties. It was
Junior High / early Senior High-ish. I'd pass him in the hall, and
he'd yell out "MY PAL CHRIS MAL!" and I'd, of course, yell back "AL MY
PAL!" What is odd, is that I tried to email him after getting this
message, and AOL responded, "This member is currently not accepting
e-mail from your account." No kidding. WTF?]
[Note from special guest editor Kirsten Cheskey:
Okay...I just read your "pal" Alan's guestbook entry and I have to
say...NO WONDER HE'S NOT ACCEPTING YOUR EMAILS!! You just outed him on
your site. Al my pal?? I mean, I've heard talk of you being a geek in
high school, but I didn't realize you were gay as well. Not that
there's anything wrong with that...well according to my neighbors you'll
be enjoying a slow and torturous afterlife in hell...but I don't agree
with that thinking. You pals were pure in your love and I support
that. However, I did not realize that the love of a good Orbitz girl
could "cure" you of your gayness... umm... gayitude... no... gaiety?
Whatever! Don't let GLAAD find out about that. They wouldn't
think it was so "fabulous". Rainbows to you and Al!!]
[Note from the Editor:
I'm sorry that my
name rhymes with "Pal". I'm sorry Al's name also rhymed with "Pal." I
always wanted to be a guy named "Dirk Branly" so I could be "Quite
Manly, Dirk Branly". Or a guy named "Butch Morass" so you could call me
"Kicking Ass, Butch Morass." But, no, you play with the cards you're
dealt. I'm a seemingly gay man named "Chris Mal", and if that makes me
the "Pal" of a guy named "Al", I'm not going to be ashamed to share it
with the world, and be proud of my gayocracy....and, ummm...my
gayliciousness ... I look forward to seeing your slow and tortourus life
in hell. I have a feeling I'll be seeing it up close and personal,
since we'll all be joining you there. (Well, except for Bev because
she's nice.) Maybe we'll get lucky and have adjoining rooms, or at
least be on the same floor. (Plus, I still plan on stalking you, even
into your afterlife, so if Hotel Hell is where you'll be...better keep
your blinds shut, your doors locked, and your underwear hidden - Shhhh,
I like to wear women's undergarments. Don't tell Al. He doesn't know
yet. I've been trying to tell him, but he has my email address
blocked.]
[Note from Mike Capilo: I thought I came up with My
Pal Chris Mal at a stickball game. Remember you were "The Target" then
one day I started calling you my pal the target which morphed into "My
Pal Chris Mal". Though the memory is a bit sketchy; I always took
credit for that name in my mind at least. Oh well...doesn't matter.
As long as you still hate sea bass I'm good.]
[Note from the Editor: We may never know.
However, Alan Ganas graduated in 1985, and I know he called me that in
high school. Stickball didn't get off the ground until 1988. My
guess is that Alan Ganas was the first to say "My Pal Chris Mal," but
you are given credit for making it famous and a common household
phrase.]

Comments: ive been looking for areasonal priced chihuahua
[Note from the Editor: ...Because as you can tell from a quick scan of
this website, I am a Chihuahua breeder. In fact, I specialize in
ones that are areasonal. I have one
available for free if you want him. It doesn't get much more
areasonal than that.]

Comments: I was bored at work and googled my first true
love... Jeff Seyfert. What a surprise to find this site and
his golf team picture. We were dating at the time
the picture was taken so it's really cute to see almost 18 years later.
[Note from the Editor: Elizabeth went to North Penn HS in Lansdale.
She met Jeff at the shore in Sea Isle City, NJ, in 1985, so neither of
them were old enough to drive. Their parents drove them back and
forth from Lansdale to Reading. Awwww, that's the sweetest story
I've ever heard. Brings a tear to my eye. Kind of reminds me
of the time I paid John Mazzo $25 to drive me in his blue VW Beetle to
Birdsboro so I could be with my creepy scary girlfriend from Daniel
Boone. OK, maybe mine wasn't quite as sweet of a story.]

Comments: We need a photo of Mr. Epler for
the birthday page. Has Katy sent the one
from Tom's house yet? You have a
horse up there for goodness sake!
[Note from the editor:
The Mr. Epler of which Drew speaks is Rob Epler, co-star of the famous
"Day in the Life of Reading" movie, and "A Day in the Life of Reading II
- In Search of Irene", not to mention the lost MTV late-night hit videos
"Misplaced Childhood", "I Can't Stand Losing" and "Low Budget."]

Hello! I am
interested in a property in Pathfinder Woods in Exeter Township.
Could you please call me so we can talk about the neighborhood, school
district, municipality and events. I would love some incite. 215
529 XXXX. I am an at-home mother of three (some times four when
you add in my husband.) We have a 3 year old dog and two cats.
I am trying for baby #4, no luck yet. Please call if you have some
time. Thank you!
[Note from the Special Guest Editor Kirsten Cheskey:
Too bad about baby #4, and too bad she doesn't know how to spell
"insight."]

Comments: I was a member of The Adamstown VFW with the ladies
and have moved to Hornell, New York and would like to have my papers
sent or faxed here so that I may join the VFW here in Hornell. I
didn't know who to contact so here I am. I hope you can help.
Marge Dooty (full name Marjorie L. Dooty)
[Note from the editor, full name The Editor: Her
name is DOOTY, heh-heh, heh-heh. Now I can say: What do the lyrics
to Oh Suzanna, Quaits and the Adamstown VFW have in common?All of them
have somehow, by the magic of the internet, brought people to my
website. Sometimes I really think maybe you should need a license
to surf the web. Then I come to my senses and realize that that
would keep people named Dooty from contacting me, and that would be bad.]

Comments: Wow! Very impressive! I've enjoyed catching
up on the lives of the Class of '86.
Congrats on your new family.
Kris (MPHS '88)
[Note from the editor: After Kris graduated from MPHS
she moved to Atlanta. Her parents later moved to Raleigh, so she's
only been back to PA once, for a wedding. She says, "I seem to
have done what everyone else has done: married, bought a house,
reproduced and became cynical, though not necessarily in that order."
She has 3 boys: Ethan who is 7, Trevor who is 3.5 and Seth who is 2.
She has a degree in Geology and works as a Geologist. Her husband
just started a job at Duke University so they are moving to the Durham,
NC area as soon as their house sells.]

you only THINK you know him? That is pretty weird, now that you
mention it. Is he a dead-beat dad or something?]

masqueraded as a Slutsky because it is a funny name! I'm hurt by these
continuing accusations! You, you, you sea bass hater!
[Note from the editor: In case anyone is wondering,
Mexican places do not serve "Sea Bass." And it's a good thing too
because I HATE Sea Bass. In fact, I'm a fish hook baiter, cattle
mater, balloon inflator, universe creator aaaaaaaaaaand, as Mike so
astutely pointed out, a SEA BASS HATER!]

somewhere down the line.
[Note from the editor: These parts being what?
The Internet? Besides, down the line, aren't we all just a bunch
of Spohns? That's my theory. My other theory is that this
entry reeks of Mike Capilo.]

We worked for a program called Family Center that was dedicated to

you like and remember.

Do you know Chris Malinowski who was an All-Berks County bowler? And
how can I meet that Mike
Capilo guy? I want to know more about this potty pantsing thing he
speaks of.

Comments: Chris -
Kudos for this site. This is the second time I have happened upon this
thing and it's spectacular. Thanks for the memories while I
procrastinate cutting the grass on a sunny afternoon in Berkeley, CA.
2 softball games in 1993? I guess I
can't argue with the old school pencil and paper scorecards.
Cheers,
Victor
[Note from the editor: Victor graduated from MPHS in
1988, and was the catalyst on our 1993 Fall
League Softball team that wore skull and cross-bones on our sleeves
and had multi-colored camouflage hats. I'm not sure where you
wear a multi-colored camouflage cap to blend in...on some sort of
drug-induced fluorescent hunting trip, perhaps.]

Comments: Chris,
I have spent the past hours marveling at your site. I have been looking
at the current lives of so many people from
MPHS that I cared about. Looking and
reading about their adventures and happiness, their new families, etc.
has brought back so many memories. Thanks for keeping this community
connected. While I have not remained in touch with these folks, it is
comforting to know that someone has not lost track of our past. All the
best to all of you. I miss many of you and think of a lot of you time
to time.
Regards,
Todd
[Note from the editor: Todd graduated from MPHS in
1985, and according to the 1985 yearbook his nicknames were "Toad" and "Weedhopper."]

[Note from the editor: My Dad's cousin was named
Clifford, but, then again, I'm not a LaPearl, I'm a Malinowski, but how
many Cliffords can there be in the world? Plus, my daughter sometimes
watches "Clifford the Big Red Dog."]

you consider this website unconstructive, which is certainly arguable. Some people watch TV or
take a nap when they need a break - I add to my website.]

Mike Capilo's friend here

because there aren't many people with the last name Efraimson. Later.
[Note from the editor: I don't know anyone named Bob
Efraimson (see Guestbook Entry #276.) He was probably just another
one of the masses of people who came to this site to ask me if I was
related, or to ask me if I know the dimensions of a quait.]
