Ears On Wheels

by Jeannette (SHEBUNDAVILE, OHIO) This month has been so busy that I am one dizzy roller derby queen with loose wheels. My roller skates are almost worn out I wish I could find a generous sugar daddy to buy me a new pair. Enough of me, let me tell you about this month.

My dearies, Keys has only been open a month, but it is so successful. The bar is always crowded and so cruisy at times! feel like I'm on board the Queen Elizabethand I don't mean the virgin queen. But where is Sir Walter Raleigh? Perhaps their delightful guitarist ..and vocalist is my white knight. Tell me Charlie, where did you learn those fingerings? I hear you have quite a touch!

Keys' opening night was oh, such a splendor there was such nobility and royalty that I thought I was at Prince Charles' wedding (speaking of which, have all of

you received your invitatiWhat Mine came in today's mail. an event that will be!). My lumbago did not like the opening, however; it hurt for days from all those deep curtsies Grandmama, why did you ever teach

just when, oh, when, will those benches be covered? It is oh, so embarrassing pulling out splinters from my behind.

A very charming homecoming party recently was given on West 6th Street. I literally ran into many fellow "charmers." The only noticeable missing link was Heavenly Lilly, who is forever refusing to go to the library with us. Now Lilly, when will you learn to hike your skirt and dip just like all the other girls. You know, Lilly, this library is just like any other, except that it has 24-hour movies and a disco. Yes, a disco! I've seen some of the hottest dancers there those kicking up their heels and even a few that were quite adept at the horizontal hula. Mother W. you've been creating quite a scandal lately doing all that eye-straining reading; if I hadn't seen it for myself, I never would have believed it. The Ponytail Lady has been doing her fair share of browsing through

the stacks, too. And Miss Ray, reading; but where, oh, where, is you too are catching up on your "And Company"? You aren't neglecting your vocal chords are you, or are you reading up on new oral techniques?

St. Patrick's Day was so festive. where I went people me green beergereen schnapps, green flowers, and,

quecheer was seldom standing wxcKes up! So tell me Kevin and Mark,

yes, even green leis. Now tell me, who in their right mind wants a green lei? The only green thing! wasn't offered was "In God We Trust". Doesn't anyone know that greenbacks are this girl's best friend? Still, it was wonderful to see so many people having fun even Shellie was in a good mood and wearing all green. I never knew you were Irish. Tell me Shellie, why are you called "Black Beauty"? Your mother tells me it's for many, many reasons. I can't wait to hear them all.

Speaking of Exedra, have you noticed how crowded and hot it is? Those Krazy Tuesdays are just dynamite! Just keep them coming oh, I'm talking dirty again.

Here are this month's ear burners... Lorain Avenue is hopping again, or so the rumor goes. hear you're back on the prowl again, or are they just prospective tenants? Well Earl, what's the story? Dan, why is it that you're never at home on Saturday and Sunday afternoons? Don't tell me,,you, too, are catching up on your reading. And Aunt Blanche, what's this about you going and getting stupid again I hope this is the last time you wear your

wash-n-wear wedding gown-it's not only turning yellow, but it's also falling apart from washings
