I think Robert W. Service may have beaten you to this in “The Cremation of Sam McGee.”
Pretty blatant plagiarism.

Just before the draft, Demetrius blew out a tire on his Nissan and hit a pole. He was in a coma for a week. He was never the same after. Sad story.

No rock is gonna bend the material in like that. I don't care how fast it got swatted out by a lawnmower or another vehicle's tires.
You’d be surprised. I definitely had proof to the contrary.

A rock could do it.
Several years ago, I was driving down Carrollton Avenue in NOLA around Notre Dame Seminary when the neutral ground was being mowed. One of the mowers kicked up a rock that hit my drivers-side door just below the window. It left a perfectly round hole that looked just like a bullet hole. (Two feet higher, and I wouldn’t be sharing this story!)
I never fixed it, and later traded in the car. When people would ask about the hole, I would always grin and say, “Irate husband…”
It just made a better story.

About 40 years ago, Pink Floyd played Rice Stadium. A huge electrical storm moved in. They kept playing, and nobody left. Best light show ever!

Sued for peace? I don’t think you have any clue how pissed off this country and its armed forces - especially the navy - were after December 7th.
Sued for peace? Not in a million years!
(As an aside, my mother was a WAV nurse at Pearl on December 7th, 1941.)

Wally Pontiff
Do you happen to have an autographed Wally Pontiff baseball? I knew Wally (same HS but at different times) and never got his autograph. Would love to have one.

Right before they got famous, ZZ Top used to play once a month at a club called The Speakeasy on Stanford, across the lakes from LSU. Cover was $5. They were clean-shaven and ran everyone out of their dressing room a half hour before every show so they could do Transcendental Meditation. They played two sets each on Friday and Saturday and stayed at The Palms Motel on Airline while in Baton Rouge.

B & J’s Seafood!!!
Great Poboys and fried food.
Boiled crawfish, shrimp, and fat blue crabs. Nicely seasoned. Perfectly cooked.
Lots of frozen traditional foods to take home, too.
