Starts with this cage match:
"The old FNCMFPECDAA often runs the risk of wandering off the reservation and tonight’s fare is no exception. This came about as I noticed one of the current participants in the news this afternoon. I already had this topic in mind as a possibility but it sealed the dealio.
Check your weapons at the door and wrap your mind around this deceptively simple match-up. (Pribek.net; )

Dear Jack:
Yes the choice is very clear to me… since I my first romantic kiss was with Sally Kerbow in 1967, and she had beautiful brown eyes… strawberry blond hair and the most interesting birth mark on her thigh. …so that Brown Eyed Girl became our song… we were twelve.
Do any of you poets remember your first real Kiss? Out in the alley, somewhere a Radio… and before McClinton's Lay down Sally…?
Jack, what you are asking a Southern boy is too tightly wound in context of my blithering Stadium boychild meeting Sally under the seats, after hot days come cool nights, and swarms of bugs in the high field lights, and bats diving through the crazed moths to eat despite photo-phobia…
And Sally and I in total innocence trying what all the others tell us to do.. only to wonder why the heck memories stay in the Mind, as the Mind, so the Man, and Woman.
You are a sneaky one Boheme… Yes to everything Mr Direction says — and — Van Morrison divided by McClinton times three = Van Morrison …unless I change my mind. Now you all know more about me than you ever could’ve wanted to know; for that I will understand why you might avoid me on the street.

Nice hat Van.
I need two of those.
My first kiss was with Jenny EnFuego at the Tractor Pull/Town Hall Meeting. At one point, in between the engines roaring and fire and brimstone campaignin', I dinstinctly remember hearing Luther Mann and the Luther Men doing a funked up, atonal version of "Honky Tonkin' (I Guess I Done Me Some)" from across the parkway at Chuck's Uptown Rubdown.
Jenny had a tattoo across her midriff that said; "Welcome To Panama City! Enjoy Your Visit!"
I still get misty-eyed when I hear Delbert shucking and jiving with Don Imus.
I wish just once I didn't have to Nanny Nag you to find out if you are paddling from the top of your Winnebago through rising water, or freezing in a freaky cold front, or what.. So, I assume you are okay in your self-styled exile, and just on a walk-about.
...but sorry to report I found out from Jake that Laura kissed Jenny EnFuego that next day at the Wentzville MO Catholics Youth Fellowship Pancake Breakfast, during "Like a Virgin" on a jukebox.

I am 95% sure that the Anti-Christ will show up on our screens one day soon at a Bull Fight wearing one of these hats.
