**: HNT ... Bombs, Bombed and a star!

So today I am feeling really fucking good. I haven't felt this good in a long time. I don't know what it is but why fuck with happiness. I'm just gonna roll with the flow. Soooooo you guys get a triumverate of HNT pics from ne tonight. First off is a pic from Champagne, Illinois. It was 1986, wintertime and I was stationed at Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul learning how to be a mechanic.

This is a very drunk Tommy with his best friend in the whole world, Mark ... er, something-or-the-other. But that's not important now. What is important is that shirt I'm wearing. (I'm the clean shaven one in case you didn't know.) O'Malley's had a wall ... four of them in fact , and a roof too... but this one particular wall had thirteen drinks painted on it. If you could drink all the drinks on the wall and still walk, you got a free T-shirt. Friends and neighbors, there is another shirt just like that one underneath the one that's showing and yes, I walked out under my own power. Shit! Just look at that table! Good thing I wasn't driving that night. And it's a wonder I ain't dead today.
Fast forward a few years to a time when Saddam Hussein was still in power but had just gotten his ass swept out of Kuwait.

Look at that beauty. Sleek, tough as nails. A true warrior ready to reign down terror on anyone who might threaten America's freedom. God what a hunk! Oh and that's an F-117 stealth fighter behind the killing machine too. This was taken on the flightline at Dharahn, Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War. Jesus has that been 13 years ago? I'm old ... but proud to have served.

And finally, Just a few years ago doing what I love best in the world ... talking and making people listen to me!

Tom Allen rockin' the night (in a country kinda way) at KYKZ-FM 96.1, Lake Charles, LA! So there you have it. Tommy through the rocking (and drunken) years. Hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane with me. HHNT ya'll. Get in on the act. Go see the Wizard of Os and tell him you're up. Oh and if you wanna know whenever I post ... I deliver! All you have to do is put your e-mail in the box in the sidebar and ... poof ... magic! Trust me, it's great. Yeah, I'm a whore ... get over it, shut up and sign up. Laters

Dang Tommy, it took me 6 tries to comment on this blog...so if you saw me coming in and out the door, Im not a stalker honest!

One time I just got that hot red background and nuthin else!

Ratburn used to DJ a college station and had a show called ELephants Graveyard, and he used to invite listeners to come to the studio and hang and party with him! LOL The freak!

Thanks for a glimpse into your photo album! lol loved the first pic, first thing I noted was the amount of empty cups on the table, and large ones at that. I can't drink. If I have one of those, I'll be going off without a teeshirt for sure.

Been fun chatting to you, hope to chat some more soon.

Hugs, Annette
