Historic "Fr�-spots"

   Discussion: Historic "Fr�-spots"
· 21 years, 8 months ago
I forgot to tell most of you, but Rod (my husband) was driving in Ontario a few weeks ago, and gave me a call on his cell phone (all the way to Vancouver) to tell me that he was standing on the corner of Thornhill and Wood!!
I thought it was way cool, and something only you other Fruheads would find awesome too!

So, have you had some awesome memories about "fru-places"? you can include stories about random "lad" sightings, or tales about what REALLY happens in the budgiedome!!!
heh..
ok, I just like stories! heh (and if you can fit NASCAR into the story somewhere, count yourself up 10,000 Frulie points.

We've all told the story before but a group of us ate at Jian Chinese Restaurant a few blocks from Thornhill Ave. We have the pics to prove it.

I passed Thornhill Ave. in Little Neck, is that the same one?
Gordondon son of Ethelred Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
Thats' the one. Jian Chinese restaurant is in the shopping center on the LIE service road.
Songbill Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
In St. Louis, we have the headuarters of the Fru-Con Corporation, which is a construction company. That's where I got those FruCon pens and annoying calculators that I brought to (real) Frucon.
Andrea Krause Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
And it's frightening how desperately I wanted one and still do! :) I love crap like that.
Songbill Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
I can send you a Fru-Con calculator.
It's the last one!
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
..so far, everyone's doing poorly on including NASCAR into their stories!
but because I'm a forgiving soul...
*smooch!*

nate... Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
Well thank god!
That just goes to show that there aren't that many redneck fruheads.
:D
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago

hmm..I wonder if Rod and I are the only two Canadians who watch NASCAR?

On Bleeker street there is Murray's Cheese Shop, a double Fruvous reference. Not to mention Monty Python.
Mamalissa! Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
And Murray's Sturgeon Shop on Broadway around 90th. Quite piscoesque.
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
and now I know where to get fresh sturgeon!
:P
heh!
~J~
danced with Lazlo Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
You stole mine!
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
here, before you kick Gordon, have some fresh sturgeon..
mmm..nummy!
~J~
"are you going to eat those eyes?"
danced with Lazlo Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
Caviar comes from a virgin sturgeon...
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
I think that would make a killer song!

oO baby...you're my virgin sturgeon...Oo

~J~
danced with Lazlo Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
It is a song. I was hoping someone (Gordon) would recognize it.
Gordondon son of Ethelred Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
Oh no I don't. Now can I at least who you'd figure I'd know since you know I don't know lyrics. I have two totatlly different guesses. Tom Lehrer and Dan Bern.
erica is so cold · 21 years, 8 months ago
when i drive to Ball State i drive over Foster's Creek and i always think of the Mur man
Talcott Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
oh yeah?
Here in lovely Ohio, we have a town named Fostoria.

I think it's the mythical bassist utopia, but they won't let me in because I can't play.
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
ahhh! Fostoria... it's a wonderful magical place!!
where bass players are on the beat, and don't often drool!
;)
hee hee!

Anyone gone skiing in Aspen?
betsy =) · 21 years, 8 months ago
well... of course, i make my own. i named my car murray. *teehee* im sure though, that's a whole other forum. im sure other people have named stuff after them too.
zil Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
I named my car maud. I have to say I've never named anything after the fru though.
emilie is CRANKY Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
i named my guinea pig after murray. wheeeeee! double fruvous reference!! go me! :D
Gordondon son of Ethelred · 21 years, 8 months ago
I made buffalo wings for the Fruvous House Party. I went right to the source and ordered the sauce from the Anchor Bar (a live noise reference right there). There was some sort of problem with the order and I got a message on my answering machine saying I should call back and ask to speak to Jian.

It ended up the name was actually short for giancarlo but it was still very amusing. I of course pointed out the coincidence to him.
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
Wow, cool story!
strange, but cool!
did the guy get the whole "Jian" thing when you pointed out the coincidence?
~J~
Gordondon son of Ethelred Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
Yeah he did. He was a real nice guy too.
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
well, what'dya know! :)
nice guys? in BARS?
wow..I'll have to think about this one for a bit! :D
~J~
emilie is CRANKY Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
pfffffft. yeah right. probably just a fluke ;D
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
*highfive*

nate... · 21 years, 8 months ago
what does ""Fr�-spots&am
"

mean???

*is so confuzzled.*
lawrence Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
it means there's a problem with the FHDC code. I'm guessing what happened when the thread was first entered was that the thread title included an umlauted u entered naturally - i.e. not an HTML code. FHDC tried to convert it, and it became the code represented by "ampersand uuml semicolon" (I'm afraid if I actually write it, my post will get messed up)


and then every time the title got reinterpreted, the ampersand was replaced with "ampersand amp semicolon," so there was always an ampersand that kept getting changed, extending the title more and more.

Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
oh! that's what happened when I put the quote symbol in the title line ..it didn't like it!

what I wrote was "historic fru-spots"

sorry for the confuddlement
~J~
Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
oh! maybe Lawrence was right.. I can't remember if I put the umlaut in there..but it's always given me trouble...
heh!
~J~
Talcott Back · 21 years, 8 months ago
I don't think it's the umlaut. I didn't use the HTML form (I didn't know there was an HTML form) when I posted my folklore topic. I'm fairly sure it's the quotes...
