The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

[GaleriaGila]

That Skype session has grown into MEME around here.

Kirby has embellished the story so shamelessly that the myth is now that the Rickeybird was so loud and rude that anytime there's mention of a party on the Forums, everybody posts in unison that THE RICKEYBIRD ISN'T INVITED!!!!! So now ANYTIME a party is mentioned around here, everybody present yells that...

THE RICKEYBIRD ISN'T INVITED!!!

When did that ever stop Rickybird! A party is a party and doors are made to open.

Oh, and in related news...

And the Cavs lost the first game. Game two is tonight. Do me a favor, Bird, you too Louie, don't jinx Lebron with another bet of saltines and a pecan for crying out loud. Bet with money and hot checks like the rest of us.

Larry Bird... a blast from the past.
Here's another!

A BLAST FROM THE RICKEYBIRD'S PAST!

This performance is @1985 (around the same time as the middle photo below, Gawd help me). The Rb was about a year old.
"Hey, Mickey" was a mega-hit in the 80s, and I sang it to the Rb a LOT as "HEY RICKEY". A friend sent me this link and I was instantly transported back to the early days with the Rb... back when I thought he might actually grow up, calm down, and become a good parrot! (Kidding, not kidding)

Join me in the 80s for a few minutes?
I recommend grabbing your imaginary pom-poms and cranking this up!

I have heard my wife singing this little anthem many times over the years whilst Bird and she were cavorting about. Do I, her loyal and long-suffering husband, have a similar theme-song? No. No, I do not. :47::26:

 

[GaleriaGila]

Ah, yes...
Pet rocks, Hairbrush Mics, and... the Rb in Bird Talk Magazine!

I subscribed to that Mag when Smokes joined the household. The CAV I have used for the last thirty years had a couple copies in the waiting room. That mag (and my friend Franks' BF Apollo) pushed me in the direction in finding Amy..its was in the back pages of that mag that I found Amys' breeder
I think I still have most of the issues lol..Learned a lot of good stuff from that publication.

Hey Mr R??? I have an era correct song for you..how 'bout Bon Jovi's song " Living on My Hair"??? ( Living on A Prayer ??)

I loved bird talk . Mostly ads haha

 

[GaleriaGila]

Y'all, I would wait for that mag to arrive and then race to one of my hideouts to enjoy it, cover to cover. I loved every glossy, colorful, ad-filled page! I saved them all for a long time, moved them carefully from residence to residence until they got soaked in a little flood while in storage.

By the way, I think that Bird Talk issue above is actually 1989. There is some damage to the top, but examination of the actual page tells me it looks m0re like July of 1989. Not sure how that happened...

Wow, Jim... yeah... VERY sweet memories.

Here's a re-post of a photo of a very sentimental page from the Rb's original scrapbook. So long ago. I was so insecure and uncertain. Now, all these years later... I look back and...

Yeah, sweet, sweet memories.

Bird Talk is supposed to be coming out again soon. I presubscribed and get email newsletters but no dead tree version yet.
