Its a small world TOM EARP
 
So I am leaving Houston on Thursday morning, headded back to SA. I decide to get a soda, so I stop by the corner store not to far from by sisters house. I go in and get a soda from the fountain. Theres this kid who works there and I can kinda see him watching me out of the corner of my eye. But hes lookign at me like hes afraid Im gonna steal something. Anyway, as I get to the counter to pay, he askes me if I am a Lambda Chi (I am wearing a rush shirt). I tell him yes and he introduces himself as a brother (His name was Scott, I think) from the Pittsburg State Chapter. (I think his member number was 600 something). Anyway, I ask "In Kansas?" And he says yes and that he is from Houston and is back home for the summer and working to make some cash. SO I ask him "Pittsburg State, huh? THen I am sure you know some Tom Earp." (As we all know, Tom was their founding father) And he was all, "Holy shit! You know Tom Earp?" To which all I could respond with, "Who doesnt know Tom Earp? BTW, can you understand him in person?" ;) lol.

Anyway, it made me think how much of a small world it was.

i actually understand that one. the earth actually bulges around the equator, making the equator an oval rather than a circle.

lol. wonder how confused that guy was when you asked him if he could understand Tom!

Hey, I talked to Tom on the phone -- unfortunately for a very short time since we were both at work -- and I understood every single thing he said.

What does that say about me?

Fluent in "Earpspeak" I would guess.

BTW, Tom, you said you'd call back, but haven't regarding a business matter - whenever you're ready.


Just after UNC's (Northern Colorado's) recolonization, the boys went to a conclave, and all met Mr. Earp - so he does "get around" in the LXA world quite a bit. For some reason, though, they are all still members of LXA...Tom must have done something right in his conversation.
