 |
| This "Cowboy" (at left) is my best
friend Gary. His other nickname is "Lumber"
(don't ask why), |
| but rest assured that I did NOT
give him that name! He got it because he's rumored to have a very |
| large... photo collection!!
Check out his MySpace
Page, or email him at lumbrrr@zoomtown.com. |
| Pictured below are a few of the fun
things we've done together through the years. |

| Jim and
Gary - River Downs |
|
| United States Wrestling Assn. |
| (USWA) Tag Team Champions |
| Louisville Gardens/Louisville,
KY |
|
|
| Winners of the Turfway Park |
| intermission competition at a |
| Cincinnati Cyclones hockey game! |
|
|
| Enjoying a traditional Saturday afternoon
"rail party" |
| at River Downs in the days before
I worked there - |
| complete with cooler, grill, plenty
of food and drinks! |
|
|
|
| Gary "The
Rock" Miller and his twin brother Greg are just about the biggest
Cleveland Browns |
| football fans around! (They're
also the biggest Cincinnati Reds milquetoasts you'll ever see too!!!) |
| Here they are "barking" following
a Brownies' Touchdown just like they're in the Dog Pound at |
| Cleveland Stadium!! Gary also
roots for the Washington Redskins, while Greg likes the Dolphins. |
| Too bad their teams don't measure
up to my SUPER BOWL CHAMPION Giants, or last year's |
| NFC Champ Chicago Bears!!!I nicknamed
Gary after former Georgia Championship Wrestling star, |
| and Minnesota Wrecking Crew tag-team
champion "The Rock" Ole Anderson. (Sorry Duane, but |
| Gary had his nickname first!)
"Rock" lists his cultural interests as golf, bowling, and pro wrestling. |
| "You can't get more cultural than
professional wrestling!" Look for these guys at Princeton Bowl, |
| unless it's summertime. Then,
they could be on any golf course in town, or glued to their TVs |
| watching the sappy Cincinnati Reds!
Feel free to email "The Rock" at gwmiller@cinci.rr..com. |

| Meet Jason
"Fontes" who used to |

to get his job |
| back for him!!
Take a big one! |
|
|
| Here's
John
Mills dressed |

his Johnny Idol outfit. |
| Personally,
I think IDLE is |
| a
more appropriate spelling! |
|
|
|
| Here's Gary's sister
Robyn

| drunk dude she picked
up last year |

Fat
Fish Blue! |

| BOWLING TEAM |
 |
| Thursday is bowling night. |
| I'm the lead-off bowler for the first place |
| ...NWO Smack Down
Hotel team. From left... |
| to right: that's me (holding bowling ball), |
| Gary M (a.k.a. "Rock"), Dean (with pin), |
| Darrell (better known as "Slap Nuts"), |
| and Gary B. We finished third in |
| the city-wide invitational tournament |
| Champion of Champions. |
|
| Our Team's League Accomplishments: |
| Team - League Champion! |
| Gary B - high game (300) |
| Dean - high series (743) |
| I held the high average (217) |
| Gary M - most consistent |
| ...Darrell had the
league's highest handicap!... |
|
|
| DAVE AND BUSTERS |
| When I'm not working, you might |
| ...see me at Dave
and Buster's winning... |
| tickets playing Drill-O-Matic (left), |
| Hoop La (center), or setting track |
| records and taking on all challengers |
| on the virtual horse racing game |
| Final Furlong (right). And, if you're |
| hungry, the food's pretty good too. |
| I recommend the Bar Burgers! |
|
 |

 |
|
| JILLIANS |
 |
| They're closed now,
but I used to frequent Jillians in Northern Kentucky.
I'd go there to chew |
| bubble gum and win
races playing
Derby Owners Club World Edition. (Most of the
time, I was |
| all out of bubble gum!!!)
DOC
is a thoroughbred breeding, training, and racing simulation game |
| where players manage
their own fantasy stable of horses. Gameworks
has the upgraded version, |
| and I'm still fairly
competitive, even though I don't play as often. The game's not as
much fun as |
| it once was thanks
to the 'professionals' (more aptly, professional CHEATERS!) For more
details |
| about the game, or
to see some of my winning horses, visit my DERBY
OWNERS CLUB site. |

| Holidays |
| Halloween |
| ....OK,
I admit it... I go overboard.... |
| at
holidays, and Halloween's |
| no
exception. The Vampire |
| has
always been my favorite. |
| This
picture of me dressed in |
| my
traditional costume was |
| taken
outside a local |
| "Haunted
House" called |
| Night
of Fright |
