Spring Flowers Rally Photos by Phillip “Goose” MarksTypical…one worker and ten beer drinking “supervisors”!This well-traveled spot looked more like a party than a checkpoint!SHOW YOUR COLORS …Once again July is upon us, and along with it that great <strong>America</strong>nholiday, July 4 th . Independence Day celebrates the birth <strong>of</strong> theUnited States <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>. Founded July 4, 1776, with the signing<strong>of</strong> the Declaration <strong>of</strong> Independence, <strong>America</strong> is celebrating its229 th birthday this year.No Fourth celebration is complete without hot dogs, beer, picnics,beer, short shorts, beer, and the old Red, White & Blue—OldGlory! Know what else is mostly red, white and blue? The PCA carbadge—still only $18, plus $2 for shipping and handling. And <strong>of</strong> course, we still have the SVRbadge ($15) and other red hot goodies.You’ve also gotta keep cool, and nothing is cooler than our <strong>Porsche</strong> T-shirts (especially thenew ones with the <strong>Porsche</strong> script in outline form), and our SVR and <strong>Porsche</strong> crest logo poloshirts. They also come in red, white and blue. Don’t miss out! You need our stuff; we need yourmoney! Let’s get together! This stuff is so cool that it would charm a snake!Did you know that snake charming is so old that it’s mentioned in the Egyptian Book <strong>of</strong> theDead? (I can’t think <strong>of</strong> a more likely pr<strong>of</strong>ession to get you into that book!) Westerners havealways had a morbid fascination with the practice; witness how <strong>of</strong>ten the image <strong>of</strong> the guywith the flute, basket and (yuk!) cobra appears in paintings, films and novels. So how do theydo it? We can eliminate the flute as a factor. It’s a prop; cobras don’t have ears. Instead, thecharmer, who has been trained for the job since childhood, simply knows how to annoy thereptile enough—say, by waving his hand in its face—to make it rear up, but not so much thatit will strike. It’s show biz; that’s all. Wanna try it?Contact your friendly GOODIE STORE!
