You earn it

 




You earn it


    This one dates back to Greg's teenage years when a Pizza Man franchise opened on Alexander right off Tweedy boulevard. They needed to hire lots of kids and Ed Carroll, Christine Creason, Tom Barney, Bill Hogan, and Greg were hired. Most of them were delivery drivers (hogan=captain driver) but Greg was a cook and Chris a cashier. Corporate sent a buttoned up "exec" named Perry over to check out the operation. Pizza Man was Perry's life and he was sold on the program while most of the kids he was trying to convert into believers were there to fool around with their friends and make a few bucks. Perry actually had a Pizza  Man tie tack that held his tie down on his short-sleeved white shirt. Just making conversation Greg asked Perry where he could buy such a bauble. Perry's eyes narrowed and his chest swelled as he said to the teenager "you can't buy one...you earn it!" Like rank in the military, Perry wore his tie tac as a symbol of his rise to power within the company. The man was a true Pizza Man believer in franchise success. The location in South Gate did not last long and all of the young Gaters who worked there moved on to other means of Summer employment. Pizza! Man He Delivers!

Athletic Club Flower shop

  Athletic Club Flower shop      This phrase is actually the telephone greeting at Greg's uncle Johnny Tassano's flower shop at 808 W. 8th street near Flower street in downtown L.A. Greg loved the place and culled many a story and line from his experiences at a place he worked and visited fondly. Even when he wasn't employed he drove around with cousin Kent (Kevin Smith) and they had a ball observing the absurdities of modern living in the Southland. The phone was answered by different employees and each had a unique turn of "Athletic Club...flowershopppp" There was owner John Tassano, right-hand man Ronald P. Lord, "Speed," a delivery man, and Carmen who cut flowers and told odd anecdotes such as the origin of pizza. I believe Greg and Kevin could go on for weeks about the people they met on their deliveries as they set forth across the city of the angels to spread floral joy. This might include places to eat, fascinating neighborhoods, cemeteries, lone...

Oil and gas crowd

  Oil and gas crowd       This one comes from cousin  Kevin's bold political action volunteering for the Fred Harris presidential campaign in 1976. Kevin got a terrific piece on the campaign published as an editorial in the Los Angeles Times and also developed an imitation of the candidates speaking voice. Fred Harris was everything you would want in a public servant  and had come close to being asked to be Vice President but his brand was not widely known. Despite representing Oklahoma as a senator Harris managed to be an admirable liberal who favored the Great Society and economic democracy. Way ahead of his time Fred wanted to wrest control away from corporations and millionaires. He travelled in a recreation vehicle wth young Smith aboard to cut down on costs and was as grass roots as it gets. Fred was married to native-american LaDonna and to this day we have buttons stating "LaDonna for First Lady." Kevin would repeat the phrase from Fred's speeches a...

alright mother

  alright mother- “You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what’s in your heart.” —Carol Ann Duffy  Greg was always delighted by a story told by his mother in law about a "sortie" dinner party attended by a Doctor "Putty" Putnam who had been forced to attend an opera by his wife. When asked by a clueless guest if he enjoyed the opera, his response was  "fuck you!" When I was visiting Bear Cove and sitting next to the matriarch Greg goaded her into telling the tale. But a rum n' coke had loosened "Minnie's" tongue and when she got to Putty's answer she blurted a rather hard FUCK YOU!  Roy, hearing his bride curse thusly said across the table "Alright mother!"
