The orders had been to enroll James Meredith at the University of Mississippi.
Bun Man is now pressing up against my shoulders and squinting trying to read this.

PIECING TOGETHER RESPONSIBLE LIBERATION
Ken-Dogger: Morning…Fifi would you leave Jirrard alone.
Jirrard: I beg your pardon
KD: Well, I just thought she was being a little aggressive.
J: Did I look like I needed help?
Fifi: Oui, did he look like he needed help?
KD: Whoa, you two…So you’re gonna do what you’re gonna do?
J&F: Heck yes…Liberated.
KD: Liberated? There’s more to it than just doing what you want. Guess you’re more human than I thought.
JUST FOR THE ACCEPTANCE
Morning Lovers and Dogs,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Mooch
Mooch: Did you see? Did you see who moved in?
KD: No, I didn’t.
M: Well, young couple with the cutest little white poodle.
KD: Wow
M: Would you help me spruce up a little, got some courting to do.
KD: But she’s white, and she’s a different breed, won’t that be a problem?
M: Nope, Dogs don’t do color, we aren’t parochial on breeds, we just LOVE.
KD: Oh, to live in a Dog’s World.

ON this date in 1991 - Marion Barry, former mayor of the District of Columbia, was sentenced to six months in prison for possession of crack cocaine.
The sting was set up when DEA agents Bun Man and Mr. P posed as plumbers.
Into Mayor Barry's apt, Bun Man said to Mr. P as he was bending over to fix the kitchen piping "Man, that's a lot of crack..."; at that point, Marion said "You wanna see a lot of crack?"
--The rest is history.
ON this date in 1963 - "She Loves You" by the Beatles was played on the radio by Murry The K in New York.
It is believed that this was the first time a Beatles song was played in the U.S.
Murry was about to select Bun Man and Mr. Purple's Super Heads in Time OPUS "She Says She Needs Me But DILLIGAF" when suddenly Murry said, "I don't care about payola, I am not playing these S-H-I-T songs any longer."
You know the rest...Super Heads faded into oblivion while The Beatles made the moola.
ON this date in 1979 - Jimmy McCulloch was found dead in London at the age of 26.
Bun Man, Mr. Purple and I had loved his earlier work w/ Thunderclap Newman and the seminal rock hit "Something in the Air" (Still a Rock Anthem Fave) and appreciated his later work w/ Paul McCartney and Wings from 74 to 77.
Tragically, his life was cut all too short from a heroin overdose.
The Boyz mourned for a month after Jimmy's death...
I'd look up, but the dude next to me has this tshirt on and it says,
DON'T FUCK WITH MR. ZERO
