Luv Ya BLUE!, Luv Ya BUM!

November 11, 1965.  BUM PHILLIPS passed away yesterday and in his memory I am posting this Stokely's Coloring Contest.  I loved the HOUSTON OILERS back in the 1970's and early 1980's when I was a teenager and young adult.  Mike Barber, Ray Childress and of course, the Tyler Rose - Earl Campbell, were just a few of the players I would cheer for while watching the games on T.V. or listening on the radio.  I loved the OILERS whether they won or lost, and they lost a lot more games than they ever won, but I was a true fan.  I have not cared about football since the people in this city drove the OILERS out of town with their hatred.  I did root for the Tennessee TITANS for several years because so many of the players had been OILERS.  Anyway, thanks BUM for the memories.

WOODY WOODPECKER Special

May 28, 1982.  Children could get one free admission with each adult paid admission if they colored the above drawing by Walter Lantz and presented it at the Universal Studios Tour box-office.  The WOODY WOODPECKER Special, Universal Studios GlamorTram.  Sadly, gone are the days of Walter Lantz and Charles Schultz.  I cringe when I come across cartoons and animation of today - truly sad indeed!
