Hello. Can you hear me? Yes. Thank you so much for coming. I've held on to these photos for 37 years, and, you know, got busy with my family and work and stuff, and then I tried to contact members of the Uyghur community and wasn't having luck, but a friend of mine introduced me to the Muslim Community Center here, and I'm so pleased that you responded in a positive way. And thank you to Qasim, in particular, and Runeir, for helping to organize this and dealing with the technicalities, et cetera. I really appreciate it, and I hope this is the first of many opportunities to show people the wonderful life I experienced in 1984. So, too close. So, what Qasim and I discovered when we opened up the slides is when I sent them to him, they got scrambled. So they're not in order. I have photos from when I took a bus from, I think, Longzhou to Tutifan, and I spent about 10 days, maybe, in Tutifan, and then I went on to Kashgar. So those are the two towns in the photos. So I'll just quickly describe each photo and tell you where it's from. If you recognize anyone, or if you recognize yourself, note it down, and I could send you family photos of relatives.  So here, the first photo is shortly after I arrived in Tutifan, and this is the little market. And what's interesting is the Han policemen on the side, and that was my introduction to the fact that on the surface, things seemed fine, and the people were very friendly and nice, but they were always being watched. My God, this was a classic photo of the policemen looking out. And here's in the market, I loved the little boys and little girls' haircuts. I thought they were great. I think they should be brought back as a style. I have 147 photos to get through, so I don't want to bore you, so I'll keep moving. Here's some of the photos, like this one, don't have a huge amount of content, but Kasim said, keep the photos in. You might recognize your father, your grandfather. So some of the photos are a little boring, but not if there's somebody's grandfather. And here's the marketplace in Tutifan. Again, go ahead. Ah, kabab. I had spent maybe six weeks in China, and I was exhausted in Han China. The food was terrible. It was all coconut oil and rice and canned vegetables and canned fruit, and it was just very difficult. When I got to Beijing, there were good restaurants, but otherwise the food was awful, and I was so happy to get to the country with Middle Eastern food and just delicious kababs and salsa and all that. And here's another salesman at the market. These are all Tutifan. I love this little girl's haircut. And Kasim says this is bamboo, which I didn't realize. No, sorry, sugar can't you do bamboo? Yeah. Oh, I'm not saying anything. And this man was a traveling entertainer, and he went on and on and on. So I sat and waited to see what's in the bag. He kept hitting the bag and talking and talking, but he talked for so long I finally gave up. So sorry, I don't have a photo of what's in the bag. He went on and on. Popsicles. Next. Shoe repair. Next. Here's my favorite, the bread. I loved the bread. There was no bread. Only rice in Hun China, and this bread was so good. You all remember the bread, right? I remember the taste as well. Yeah, go ahead. Many bread stalls in here. Kasim said keep the photo in, so I kept the photo in. Taking a nap. And I loved the little cradles.  Now, I just liked this woman and her baby. They were so sweet and so friendly. Now these guys. Yeah, these guys, I call them the dudes.  But I found, we were more fashion conscious. And I liked how they dressed, so I thought these guys were very cool. Recognize anybody? One of you is? It's you, not me. The one on the right, it looks like me. Really? Hey, if you're sure. I have a same cap, same style. Yeah?  Here's a mom and her baby. Go ahead. And Kasim told me about the irrigation system in total fun, which I'm sure you know that is really impressive, what they did. Here's another mother and baby, Madonna and child. And the children were so, they were so happy. And just ran around pretty free all through the town. This is still total fun. This guy is on the way to his market, to the market. I told Kasim, he's the really handsome weird guy that I saw. And so here's the market in Putofan, which was, of course, much smaller than Kashgar. I love the animal market. Yeah, yeah, animal market, right. While I was switching to, in the evening, there was a performance in our little hotel. And the name of the actress, there's no DNA. The man? Yeah, the man, yes. Yeah, that's Kasim said he recognized.  I was impressed that they performed with us. It was wonderful to see, really great. They were so full of character and great musicians too. This guy was so good. He's one of the best drummers I've ever seen. Does anybody recognize him? Not from the side. Not from the side. This is all in Putofan. He was really good. And he was working hard too. You can see, you know, the sweat on his forehead. So here's the market again. And you see, you know, once again, I assume this is a Chinese man looking around, keeping his eye out. And then the next day there were dancers in the little area pavilion of my hotel. And they were wonderful too. Really? Such a nice dance style. And this... Oh, what are those instruments called? Chum. Chum? Chum. Chum. He was really good too. Those were the... He was another really great musician. And I wonder what's happened to him. No. He was so good. So I took a taxi, which I think... I never saw any cars in Kashgar or, you know, in East Turkestan. So looking at modern photographs of Kashgar and Putofan, I'm just shocked by the highways and the cars. There were no cars except this one taxi that took me out to the Bezeklik caves. So these are just the photos of the landscape going out to the Bezeklik caves. Next. And there they are. It's funny. I don't have any photos inside. Maybe we weren't allowed to take pictures inside. Is that right? Yeah. So there's a...  And so people working in the fields nearby, I'm not sure if it's their land or Chinese land or what it would be. And this is the town of... Yarkoto? Yarkoto? Or the Chinese name is... Jiahe? Jiahe. Yarkoto. Right. Which apparently was lasted from the 2nd century BC to the 13th century when it was destroyed by Genghis Khan and the Mongols. That's what Wikipedia says. This is the only photo of me. All the pictures. But I was there. No. Here I am again. There's a Wikipedia. Oh, I loved this statue. And it was at a very small museum in Tudofan. Is anybody here from Tudofan? Do you remember a museum? I do. Oh, okay. Well, Kassim says it's likely to be Tudofan because the decorations on the body are more typical of that region, the Tudofan region than in Kashgar. But it's kind of an amazing statue and where is it now? Who knows. Oh, this is supposed to be the last photo in the show. Oh, well. And this is the beginning of the show where this is the bus I took from, as I recall, one show. And this is Tianxiang in the Taklamakan desert. On the way. This is one of the people I met at a stop, at a rest stop. So this is on the way to Tudofan. And apparently the man is wearing Kassim says the man is wearing a Kazakh hat, right? So this is where we stopped for the night. And I think this is the road to... Okay. Right. So, like I... From Longshou to Tudofan where I stopped, it was two days. Oh, I don't remember. I think I'd probably... Oh, really? See, it's been too long. I forgot. I forgot that trip. But we... I didn't have a translator but people were so friendly it wasn't really necessary. I don't know. We just did hand signals and I learned a little we were.  But, you know, it was a lot of friendly smiles and waves and pointing. So... This place is like a 20, 50 miles from where I live. Oh, really? Oh, okay, if you want the photo. So what... We spent the night in this. I thought it was... I got excited and thought it was a Caravansalai but Cassimus has it. It was probably built by the Chinese but anyway, it was kind of exciting. A little hotel where we spent the night. Very primitive. And this is one of the women and children that we met that I met in the Caravansalai. And another little guy. And this was a woman that I met on the bus. We became friends. And I... She wrote down her address. I can't remember if I sent her a photo or not. I've got a photo of her journal so maybe maybe I can show it to you and send her... I mean, who knows send her a photo now except maybe that's not a good idea. So... And this is the bus driver the friendly bus driver. So this is the... this is cash and you know this is actually the first photo with cash and it's so much busier than Turfan and this is old cash so maybe leave it on here for a little bit. Did they destroy this area?  It just did not fit into the cashguard what I saw in cashguard just tried down the street and boom there he was you know Yeah I know fortunately there weren't a lot of this kind of statues this was the only one I saw and this is the alleyways in that neighborhood I took a photo of earlier little boys running around having tea and the oasis were beautiful in cashguard it was so green sorry I some of the photos the quality is not great so there's some little kids playing in the along the irrigation canal you can swim there this photo this is an odd photo but I took it in the main square this was the main square which was where the idka mosque so there were instead of cars big highways you had people driving their donkey carts yeah this was the Uber driver waiting to pick someone up but people just hung out in the square it was very quiet and relaxed and this was Saturday the big market day and a lot of people from small towns came into cashguard for it so this is where I first saw women wearing burqa right so I assume that they were from the countryside and came in from the market so here are some of the shops if it's in order I really loved the shops I thought they were beautiful this is a junk shop I guess and kassim said that these are the boys are making wedding gift chess yeah nice sharpener this guy was very proud of his nice people were really pretty it seemed pretty happy there oh the horse yeah saddles beautiful saddles it's a hardware store hardware store yeah wow and then in Han China I had seen the young pioneers so I guess you guys had to wear those scarves did you get indoctrinated? yeah if we go to school if we go without this little scar we were the bad guys we stand out as a bad the juvenile delinquents really at least they got to play musical instruments and this was my favorite noodle shop ah I love this food I think also the chef was very handsome so I like to go back and get food with him but it was very clean and the food was delicious and this is a cafe where I mentioned I came to the cafe and I kind of got the feeling I was interrupting a conversation that might have been sort of politically inclined because everybody became quiet when I came in so I think people were talking already about the situation and this is the idka oh this is my favorite yeah apothecary or medicine and you can see the lizards and I think that's rats in the back or mice and a bat and skeletons of other things too I think the colors in his shop were so beautiful so this is yeah calling for prayers I think this is afakkocha I hope it's okay that I took the photo and now we're back to idka again let's go preparing to pray I bet you didn't see anyone wearing jeans right? no jeans nothing some old friends chatting in front of the mosque I hope oh yeah do you recognize anybody any grandfathers you know them? well yeah and now we're back to the afakkocha the cemetery and this is afakkocha the actual temple and these are the tiles that Kasim told me about I didn't realize that Kashgar was famous for its tiles these must be very old and then back in town I came across some musicians that were selling instruments and this is where I got my one of those or maybe a smaller one apparently I don't know but anyway this is the guy I bought them from and this guy played rala beautifully and I got this rala at this little place where they were selling instruments but I don't have a photo of it near the kids the little kids were so playful and having fun the stroller was great do little girls somebody peeking out from the middle this is a funny photo I'm sort of embarrassed because they were looking at me like who are you this is the first year that there were tourists you know I had this big camera not very good I think they were staying the camera but they were looking at me it was not that great a camera and actually I had fallen into a canal in China and my camera got wet and I took it to I hung it out to dry with a fan in my hotel room that night I took it apart and the Chinese put it back together so I'm kind of amazed that these photos are okay it's a film right film camera right yeah these are from slides I have slides there are some other characters and here are the little kids I like the guy floating you know the little guy in front is so tiny and frail I hope he's strong enough to grow up nice and strong that look on his face and here Kasim said he did that when he was a little so did you all do that you did shame on you your mother a beautiful little cradle and so this is you know on Saturday morning we saw lots of donkey carts coming into town and it was for the Saturday market actually that is a self-driving car ah oh good especially on the way back home especially on the way back home especially on the way back home especially on the way back home right and this is the parking lot I guess that's what I called it the parking lot for the market so it was very crowded you'll see just amazing that people got things done this was all around the market area there were people selling things barbers and then one, two, three next photo down they go they all went down at the same time to shake so this was the animal market and these are pictures of people bargaining with each other lots of beautiful horses and we saw, got to see one guy riding his horse around to test it out and see if it was healthy lunchtime checking the teeth you can see the age of that the age aha and they even were selling pigeons and Casim told me about the mediator like the two people with bargain and so I guess the guy in the middle is listening very carefully and mediating the bargaining the broker very intense and they came to an agreement so I really like this picture I think but it reminded me of you know I studied art in college I minored in art history and it reminded me of actually 17th century Baroque European paintings by the great artists the faces are just so wonderful and so weathered and it was lunchtime and it was time for Samsa yeah everybody was eating Samsa myself included so this guy offered me some melon these guys what's the name of what they're making one two three and here's the Samsa I really liked how they made it I know how to make it oh you do make some oh yeah and then after lunch I came back out and the area was just packed I was shocked there were so many people and still bargaining very intensely and then I looked down and there were these little boys who were staring at me the whole time I was taking pictures any of you in there this is my row up and we were invited to a wedding and so these are musicians that were performing it wasn't the wedding itself it was a celebration and once again wonderful dancers oh my gosh they were so and musicians playing and delicious food we were really grateful to be invited yeah very special and here are my two friends from the US you didn't travel alone no no it's always good some people I love this photo because I think this woman is beautiful and I love her her hat and her scarf are just so elegant and I guess those are her grandchildren I really like that photo it would be wonderful if somebody recognized her and there's a little girl at the wedding now these are sort of random photos so oh this is the airport it doesn't look like the sitting board and here's the airplane I took to get back to I don't know maybe maybe and then took a flight to Beijing is that how we have to stop yeah I didn't spend any time to go to Omshi and here are all the people who came out to see the airplane land I guess and this is your typical donkey cart and this is a typical donkey cart that went over a ditch oh the donkey is thirsty he went for the water thank you water now these are all out of order but I think this is in Kashgar do you remember the name of this little mosque it was near Ipakkoja I think I thought it was beautiful and are these what are these I wasn't sure what they shrines to a particular for a family or rich guys rich guys okay these two little girls are from Kodafan oh and this photo is it was supposed to be right at the beginning of the show but it just shows I felt like they weren't wealthy but they did the women did wonderful things with their clothing and were very stylish I mean after being in Han China it was still very malice influenced and the women were very plain and wore very simple clothes and had haircuts very boring haircuts just straight across but the Uyghur women I thought paid attention to how they looked and dressed very well even though their clothes were very simple and they're high heels etc it was really nice and that's the end thank you my own personal feeling I just I'm so familiar with these photos having lived with them for a long time but like I said it was a relief getting to eat Turkestan and the people were so kind and friendly and even though I hardly spoke a word of Uyghur I did fine people were too kind and friendly and it was a very culturally rich society so I got to see the music and the dance enjoy the food it was definitely one of the best experiences I've ever had and I'll never regret it and I talked to a couple of people about photos elsewhere if people are interested in other communities I really want to share the photos it's the least I can do given the situation there any questions? yes first of all thank you so much it brought so much poignant memories even though I was like probably 5 years old back then but growing up pretty much I grew up seeing all of what's in the picture I was part of what's in the picture it brought so much fondness memories and it's just hard to express with words thank you so much for the pictures and we were talking back in 1984 you talked about really nice quality it's very quality picture and the question is what back then what was it that made you go the visit in this remote place because I figured there were tourists but back then maybe not as many right well I've always been kind of an adventurer where was back then and I had experienced Islamic culture traveling in Pakistan a couple of months before so I had remained in China I mean in Asia to go travel further in China and I really like the Middle Eastern culture I really think the music is fantastic and the food is great and so I was already the art is wonderful so I was already really entranced by the culture of the Middle East and so like I say I was so tired after two months in Han China the opportunity to come back to a Muslim culture just really appealed to me so that's why I went and I wasn't disappointed the music especially I just love it so thank you as you said since you had the personal experience there as you see culturally even in many aspects as you visited we have been rich in culture even in crafts even in contrast with how people dress between Uyghurs and Chinese you can imagine how the trajectory things as it is we had the freedom to live the way of our own life our own way but unfortunately with more encouragement of Chinese culture and Chinese influences and even their propaganda portraying us, painting us is a very bad picture but one thing I wish that more and more people could see what you see or at least from the pictures that they would understand actually we were not as what China or what they painted us as to be yeah I would like to if these photos can be useful in that way I would like to share them broadly thank you if you have ideas or thoughts I've already been in contact with I don't have her name but anyway I'm trying to provide a wider audience and I think things like the New York Times has been very good about presenting the situation in East Turkestan and other groups have done well so I feel like people are pretty sympathetic it's the Han Chinese I have a friend who is Chinese American and she did a tour of Xinjiang a couple of years ago but she wants to see these photos and I think it would be good for her to come from photos from a Uyghur perspective and understand a little bit more about what's going on there because I just can't imagine what they did on that tour or what they hid any other questions thank you thank you for all the pictures it's really great my question was back then in 1984 are you aware of any policy change that made the first time travelers like yourself at the time what allowed you what kind of policy changes are you aware of that made foreign travelers to be able to go to Xinjiang all we knew it was hard to get information because I think we were in Kunming when we heard was that East Xinjiang Turkestan was opening up and at the same time Dali which is another area in what in Yunnan in Yunnan had just opened up was a policy of Deng Xiaoping to open things up and I'm not sure what else was going on maybe it was part of his campaign to improve the economy after the you know all the chaos and to open it up to tourism maybe that's all it was we can exploit these people for tourism that might have been all that was involved there this is a big change in three years after that Deng Xiaoping came out and started changing things because China has a 30 some years all closed economy everywhere no car no one own car at that time only the corporate company government owned everything land trees mountains everywhere belongs to government all cars belong to government every car has a special driver only the government leader official person can have a car but he has a driver in 1977 they started to change the education system they accepted and started a college exam so it's a big change happening economically politically they need to stop giving the freedom to people yeah so there are advantages to being so old I got the code in there you know a wonderful place it's somewhat pretty free comparatively although who knows what was going on underneath any other questions any questions from ladies side any questions from ladies side yes well thank you so much for your patience I'm sorry things were out of order but I just really loved sharing my pictures with you and like I say get in touch with me with Samir if you want copies of any of these photos I'm happy to share them thank you thanks I think I had just one last minute question I think thank you so much for giving us all this beautiful opportunity to go through this beautiful memories that some of us has been through some of us has never actually lived through the existence of these beautiful cultures right so the question is it looks like when you were visiting back in 1984 it feels like you're very close to people so it doesn't feel like right now if any foreigners go to visit in those areas there's always government officials working this and that so I'm just curious back then do you feel anything that you know like if there's anyone like nowadays so if you could visit there's always people watching do you feel the same at that time or no but it looks like from the picture it was not like that back then I never felt anybody watching me or interfering at all I mean I I saw them like the one on the motorcycle in the market but I was never approached by a Han person I met some Han people on the bus coming out including one Han woman who was very nice and was not happy about being sent off to East Turkestan you know she wanted to be back wherever her home was but and there were a few Han people but really not many just hardly I don't know I just didn't see many at all so thank goodness I didn't have to deal with that thank you okay thanks again you know for one representation let's give a big round of applause to Miss Jenny thank you and I know this is like we had just our 8th just like a Tuesday so it's a great gift for us for all of us and also you brought up a very nice instrument we're going to invite Torin Jan to perform a couple of sounds and so we can enjoy the performance Torin Jan is a welcome we should have come up you can still sit turn off the mic maybe two sound the first one is just a warm up sound then I found a very perfect sound for today's event the second sound is small street the picture of the cash car small street that's a very famous sound in Uyghur thank you very much Torin Jan for beautiful performance and this song is everyone know about the song it's called narrow alley it means the road for Uyghur getting narrow and narrow it's losing your freedom so it has deep meaning so yeah it was a beautiful performance thank you very much so next one is just we're going to have a little like a gifting instrument session you know so I know Mrs. Janney is very generous enough to not only bring to the tar and also gifting because the tar that's amazing especially if you had a lot of memory a lot of story what we see from the pictures right so thank you and just before before this session starts so I want to introduce your foundation a little bit because for some of you if you never know about this on foundation so this foundation started in 2019 when it was a mission of preserving our Uyghur around the world and preserving our identity the beautiful culture especially in these days our language not being spoken and we are not available to follow our own practices religious culture wise that's why we know we have a lot to do to help to preserve this culture and our identity so since the start we helped around 6 to 700 orphans and families in need around the world mostly in Turkey and here in the US so please continue support us provide your feedback and help us get better for the gift session so I think so I know if Turkey will be receiving this because you are since performing this Turkey will be receiving this yes oh yeah right now I heard about you and your playing was beautiful and yes I didn't realize that your play was so small comparison to my but maybe for a children for a company you probably recognize that yeah it needs a little repair yeah I see thank you very much yeah enjoy do you have anything to say thank you thank you again just at the end I'll give a big round of applause to the JNE and the Turkish and everyone you know so may this the presentation memorable and at the end I know we are rushing food so we still have some food left for the rest of the hours and do our eight kind of you know at the back sure so seeing like first of all thank you and second of all when you visit my land my hometown this is like I was not even born I was born in 85 I missed you yeah so like seeing our people our culture back then and seeing what happened third best 30-70 years and I've been living in the United States since 2009 if you remember what happened 2009 July 5th in Burumqi you might have heard about it so seeing a lot of things happening in the United States kind of like sadly makes me sad as well this happened during my second hometown and like what the ration is going and it feels like one day this may sound kind of like a little bit like pessimistic but I hope it will not happen but so seeing so many things in your life and what do you see the future of the United States like cancelling what happened to Uighurs back in the East Turkestan and like the development in the United States what's your thought like since you had a life like you had probably a lot of not probably I mean like you had a lot of experience like life experience and like what's your feeling right now cancelling like everything all things cancelling thank you do you mean like in general like everything like what happened like gradually to us and like what's kind of like the United States is the direction of going right now the direction of the United States yes well this is I actually I've been doing you know I was when I was at university I was opposed to the war in Vietnam and was active and I've always been active that way and I'm really worried now so but I'm also so you know there's an old saying I don't know if you know it pessimism of the mind optimism of the will so I'm still working very hard I'm volunteering for the to contact people in states within the United States I'm urging them to call their senators specifically right now about the for the people act which is a bill in the senate which would make sure everybody has the freedom to vote and has a possibility to vote and the you know the elections are fair you know politicians can't decide who's going to be president the people will decide who's going to be president and so this bill the for the people act is very important and you know in 2020 I worked very hard to get some good senators and congressmen elected for me that's the way I feel I can help and the U.S. has wonderful potential but we just got to work hard for to make it happen so pessimism of the mind optimism of the will keep working keep positive I don't know if that's how you all feel or how it impacts the situation in East Turkestan that's the other thing you know I think we are very optimistic because you know we are coming from the area that has extreme conditions you know dry and all that we don't have to be optimism to live in such a environment you know so that kept us alive till the day you know I think that will keep us through this whole thing you know so yeah I think I like what you are saying you know yeah pessimistic of the mind but optimistic of the will you know beautiful you know I think it's very beautiful thank you very much you know yeah I mean I think also looking at what's happening to the Tibetans and the Hong Kongis you have allies there I hope things can get better for all three of those groups yes thank you very much thank you wonderful seeing all of you

The Mingo County Sheriff's Department is currently investigating a possible meth lab in Mate 1. Early Thursday morning, emergency medical services responded to the Rutherford Branch area of North Mate 1 due to an explosion. A resident of that area was then transported to Williamson Memorial Hospital for possible life-threatening injuries. Details at the scene from EMS said it could have been a possible meth lab. They actually shut down Williamson Memorial Hospital for decontamination. Williamson Memorial Hospital then contacted the Mingo County Sheriff's Department. Upon arrival to the scene, the deputy suited up in a Tyvek suit with a self-breathing apparatus entered the residence and there is precursors for a shake and bake style of a meth lab. We're currently processing the scene, waiting to take the further step because the house is contaminated as far as we know. At this time, the man's identity and injuries have not been released. The Mingo County Sheriff's Department was assisted by the Mate 1 Fire Department and the West Virginia State Police. Reporting in Mate 1 for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.


This lake used to be a lot bigger than it is now. People dammed the little stream to make the lake, but the dam is not considered safe anymore, and so they've lowered the water level. It's going to let us see some of the things that happen under a lake, and so we're going to go for a little trip here to find out how fossil fuels are made. So rivers wash mud, sand, gravel, silk clay, all sorts of sizes into lakes, and the small pieces are washed away wherever there's a strong current, and they settle where there's no current. And in those places, they settle with a lot of dead plants that have lived above them, and those dead plants will start to break down in the mud, and bacteria will use them, and those bacteria make methane. And so you already start to see bubbles coming out of the mud here. That actually is the first step in making fossil fuels. This is the bacteria making methane, but later the heat of the earth will make methane. So if you take mud like this, and you buried it with more mud, and then more mud, and then more mud, and then it starts being heated by the heat of the earth, that dead organic matter down in there will start making oil to go with the methane, the natural gas that we see coming off of here. Lots of dead plants wash into water. These are woody ones, and so this is the kind of thing that could make coal. In addition, lots more plants live in the water. They're slimy plants, algae, cyanobacteria, and they eventually give rise to oil and both give rise to natural gas. So sometime way back in geologic history, there was a nice ocean, warm, not a lot of oxygen in the water because it was warm. Lots of plants growing at the surface, but that oxygen bubbles out to space. And then the dead plants and mud settled to the bottom in layers. And those layers can become thousands of feet thick.  And then, as the heat of the earth cooks them, they make oil and gas. A lot of that oil and gas actually generate high pressure and they make cracks, and they seep out of those cracks from the rock that they're in, which is now called shale. And then they either bubble up through the water all the way to the surface to make an oil seep or a gas seep, or they get caught somewhere on the way in special geologic places that we can drill into to get the oil and gas. A lot of the organic matter is still left in the rock. This is sort of black looking rock because it's still full of organic matter. And what we're learning to do now is to break up the hard rock like this to make it more like this loose stuff. And they do so by drilling through it, not with a chisel, but with a real serious drill. Pumping fluid in at very high pressure to break the rock, it's called fracking. And then the oil and gas can go out of those little cracks and you can pump them out and use them.


In this video, I'm going to showcase my Green Arrow comic book haul. Stay tuned. Hey guys, welcome back to Comic Gettin' TV, the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides. If you're new to the channel, make sure you hit that subscribe button so you don't miss out on future videos. The first comic in this haul is a part of the Archers Quest storyline. Green Arrow number 16, the Archers Quest part 1 of 6. Always made the right enemies all over Queen. I don't really know much about the Archers Quest storyline. It's by Brad Meltzer, Phil Hester, and Ande Parks. Then we have the Archers Quest part 2 of 6, Green Arrow number 17. There you have Oliver facing off against Roy. The Archers Quest part 3 of 6, Green Arrow number 18. This of course was from 2002. Same creative team. You got Solomon Grundy here on the cover with a ton of arrows sticking out of it. The Archers Quest part 4 of 6, Green Arrow number 19 from January of 2003. You can see here an arrow coming from Green Arrow getting ready to strike the ring of Green Lantern. At this time, Green Lantern was none other than Kyle Rainer. Archers Quest part 5 of 6, Green Arrow number 20 from March of 2003. Got a nice image of Oliver Queen there on the cover. Not bad. Green Light shining up at him. So maybe it has something to do with Green Lantern. Perhaps, I'm not sure, maybe a while before I get to read this comic. So we'll find out. Unfortunately, they did not have the Archers Quest part 6 of 6 at the old book barn. These came in a bundle, a Green Arrow bundle all packaged together. It would have been nice if they had all six, but whatever. Up next we have Green Arrow number 33 from February of 2004. Speedy, Martin Bro, and McKenna, ready, steady go. You've got Golden Age Green Arrow there with Speedy. You've got Silver Age Green Arrow there with his sidekick Speedy in a nice vintage car. Probably I'd say 50s, 60s, somewhere around there. Very nice cover. Green Arrow number 51 from August 2005. Speedy, Battle, and Purcell, the return of Anarchy. You've got Green Arrow there being attacked by the not really 100% villain, not really an anti-hero, somewhere in between. That's Anarchy. Then you've got Green Arrow number 53 from October 2005. Meznor Loaves, Battle, and Purcell, Solomon's Revenge. Very nice. And finally we have Green Arrow number 54 from November of 2005. Winnick, Fowler, and Ramos, Master of Disaster. You have Green Arrow there. You have the Flash Villain Mirror Master it looks like. And I think maybe Mr. Terrific right there. Perhaps. We'll see. So that's it for this comic book haul.

in the car today. I used to do this all the time in my older vlogs. I don't know. I mean I got the phone situated in a spot where it's like perfectly safe for me to drive and it's like the quietest part of my day and it's like uninterrupted time. So anyway today is August 3rd and it is the first day of school. I woke up super early this morning so that I could wash and blow dry my hair. This is what it looks like when I just wake up and blow dry it. Straight as a board. So it's 6.56 in the morning. My contract hours are 7.30 to 3.30. School hours are 8 o'clock to 2.30 so that's really nice. It gives me an hour after school to really like decompress and plan and prep things for the next day. So I'm going to school a little bit early and I don't have cash in the car with me because today is his first day of kindergarten and normally I would want to be there for drop off but because of the way that our school does soft start I won't be able to take him to his classroom every day because I need to be posted in my classroom and ready for my students to arrive. Now down the line I could probably sort out how like my teammates could be standing in the hallway in the mornings instead so that I can take cash down to school but for now Scott is taking him and he's promised me to get like pictures and do all the things. So I just want to make sure that I'm there in my classroom on the first day for any lost students. So yeah I'm really excited. Cash is going to be at my school again and it's like the best. Just the last couple of weeks being there with all the staff I feel like it's going to be a really good place to be and everyone who's there has been there for years up to 20 plus years at the same site so I feel like that's a really good sign and this district so far has just been really lovely and I don't have any like there's no red flags there's no like hard like icky feelings and I'm just really excited to get this part of my life started. So anyway heading to school I'll show you guys what I'm going to do this morning to just get ready for the day. I do apologize in advance if I don't get like really good meaty vlogs up I'm very in tune with my team this year. I have two lovely ladies on my team this year maybe at some point in the year I will introduce them to you on the vlog. As of right now we've been working as a well oiled machine very cohesive all three of us have very similar ways of doing things of managing things and it's just really nice to have a team where every single member is willing to go above and beyond to do things for the gray bubble. The last team I was on I was kind of the the ringleader and I would have to ask my other teammates to do certain things and one of them I felt really bad asking because I knew they didn't really want to do it it was kind of like a bare minimum situation and then the other one was brand new to teaching and I really didn't want to put anything extra on their plate and so I ended up doing a lot on my own which is really hard it's a lot of pressure but where I was at that time in my career it was okay because I had a rhythm and I feel like I still have that rhythm now because I'm teaching the same things that I've been teaching for the last three years so I feel really good about my content and I feel really good about my instruction. We'll see about curriculum I do have two new curriculums that I'm working with the science curriculum is McGraw-Hill Inspire Science and the social studies curriculum is TCI social studies so if you guys have heard of those curriculums go ahead and put something in the comments down below letting me know if you've heard of them or or even if you use those curriculums that would be great they seem to be pretty okay I am going to integrate mystery science in with the Inspire Sci just because it is a brand new curriculum and I don't want to completely dive in head first 100% with it I'd rather like ease into it and put some of it into what I do with mystery science like use the use the resources alongside mystery science and that is totally okay that way like maybe next year I'll have a better idea of how the curriculum works and I'll be I'll feel better and more confident about it so and same thing with the social studies curriculum I'll just kind of use it as a resource and kind of intertwine it with with what I usually do so with that being said I'm almost to school I'm going to get all this junk in I have my mini fridge of groceries in the back so I need to get that in and I also need to bring in my rain boots because Prescott is known it is notorious for our summer monsoons through the months of July August September so the skies are clear right now but you guys it could it could like it could turn look how well hold on look at the sky right now beautiful clear skies but that could change within a few hours and we could be doing rainy day dismissal so anyway I'm gonna get inside and then I will pick y'all up when I get there all right you guys so I'm inside it took a minute to get up here um we had some gate issues but I'm here so um a couple things I need to do to get started for the day I need to get my tv on and get my slides pulled up so my tv actually operates as a computer like a separate one so I don't have to like display anything to it from like a computer it's just its own computer so I just have to make sure every morning when I come in that I get all of the things up that I'm gonna need for the day so that it's all loaded and ready to go okay guys so it's 721 so I'm gonna go ahead and jump off of the vlog for now and I'll pick you guys up throughout the day if I can but my students are going to become be starting to arrive in the next 20 minutes and I just want to go debrief with my team for a few minutes I just sorted my transportation forms I don't have every single child so I am going to go through my class list and just make sure that I know exactly how everyone's getting home today um send a couple messages out to parents on dojo and then um send an email to the front office letting them know which children I don't know how they're getting home today so wish me luck I'll see you guys in like a second all right you guys so it is officially lunchtime I'm having some stir-fry that we made last night today has gone by so well so great so smooth no problems at all um after lunch we do two more hours of team building procedures getting on Chromebooks and then it is the end of the day it's crazy how fast the day has gone I'm super behind on water what that is to be expected on the first day of school I have a couple of really squirrely boys which is totally normal but they all seem really sweet and very willing to correct their behavior I know they're all really excited to be back from summer and getting to see each other again so what I'm going to do right now is attempt to fix all of their tech um stickers and then print those so that I can pass them out and they can stick them on their Chromebooks now today so that is what I'm going to be working on while I eat in the evening and normally I don't stay this late but we had a lot of supplies we had to sort through today and so we got it all sorted and put away where it goes and we are ready for tomorrow cash how was your first day of kindergarten it

my socials instagram tick tock and I'll see you in the next one bye guys


Item No. 2254 Level III Confidential Containment Class Euclid Disruption Class Kinect Risk Class Caution Special Containment Procedures SCP-2254 is contained within the town of Fallon, Alabama. While SCP-2254's incorporeal nature has made it difficult to house in any long-term containment vessel, SCP-2254's isolation within Fallon has been deemed an acceptable amount of exposure in exchange for sustained containment of the entity. Foundation agents embedded within local law enforcement are to identify anomalous pregnancies that result from involvement by SCP-2254, and introduce an acceptable level of both muffler-print stone and prostaglandin into the affected subject's drinking water in order to induce miscarriage. As not all pregnancy resulting from SCP-2254's involvement are anomalous. Due to this protocol, the rate of SCP-2254-1 manifestation has significantly decreased since SCP-2254's discovery. The continued implementation of the Black Tuesday Protocol is imperative to the ongoing containment of SCP-2254. Extent Containment Memorandum Per Foundation Protocol 2515.99, the ongoing containment of SCP-2254 has been transferred to the jurisdiction of Project Paragon. All other extant containment procedures remain in place. Description SCP-2254 is a hostile, massive, incorporeal entity contained within the town of Fallon, Alabama. SCP-2254 is invisible to the naked eye, and can only be viewed using infrared cameras. SCP-2254's form is that of a wildly distorted humanoid, roughly 12.8 meters in height, with extremely distended arms and six legs, a misshapen neck and base, thick shoulder-length hair, and severely disfigured genitals. Two legs appear to protrude from the upper back, while another two protrude from the lower back, just above the tailbone, forcing SCP-2254 to walk in an awkward scuttling motion. In place of what would seem to be male genitalia is a seeping mass of pustulous lesions capable of extending out from the main body of the entity. The function of this behavior is unknown. SCP-2254's genitals appear to be otherwise ineffective, and serve to do little more than impede its progress as it moves. SCP-2254's skin is dark and modeled, and aside from six eyes arranged in two vertical columns of three per side, SCP-2254's base is otherwise featureless, lacking a nose or a mouth. SCP-2254's single other-defining characteristic is depicted around the letter J above a heart that seems to have been branded into its forehead. SCP-2254 is seemingly capable of influencing human decision-making by altering cognition and manipulating young humans, typically under the age of 20, into copulation who would not otherwise be driven to do so. This manifests as a reported dream state wherein affected individuals are brought together semi-unconsciously to perform sexual intercourse while in a state of elevated suggestiveness and arousal. Notably, arousal as a result of SCP-2254's influence is not accompanied by elevated hormonal levels, leading researchers to believe this state is wholly fabricated by SCP-2254's influence, and not the product of actual biological responses. These unions will generally always end in insemination, though SCP-2254's influence can be disturbed by the application of lacrimator agents such as tear gas or ammonia inhalants. Subjects brought out of SCP-2254's influence during the act of copulation usually express some confusion and hostility towards the source of the disturbance with debates over time. Afflicted subjects will also not express any kind of regret about the sexual union in question, though whether this is also the nature of SCP-2254's influence is currently unknown. SCP-2254 generally manifests at the Little Rock Canyon Falls near Fallon, though not in any regular pattern. It is believed that SCP-2254 is more likely to manifest on nights where there are more age-appropriate targets freely available to interact with each other sexually, though this has not been confirmed. After manifestation, SCP-2254 will stalk towards any gathering of targets, potentially persuading targets in its path to move towards other targets in an attempt to influence more subjects into engaging in sexual intercourse. Once at least one pairing of targets have come together in one place and begun interacting sexually, SCP-2254 will lower its space to be level with the pair or group and will stare, unblinking, until the act is finished. On the rare occasion the insemination does not occur, SCP-2254 will linger above the pairing for a period of time, during which the couple will interact very little. After a certain amount of time, SCP-2254 will lower its space again, and the sexual act will begin again. There have been no instances of insemination not occurring during the second instance. While the odds of conception through this manner are no different than usual, there is a significant chance, greater than 68%, that the mother will become pregnant with an anomalous fetus classified as an SCP-2254-1 instance. Subjects who become anomalously pregnant as a result of SCP-2254's influence will experience the rapid growth of the SCP-2254-1 fetal structure, which will quickly take on non-human characteristics. These fetuses do not fully match either parent and genetic makeup, and instead more closely resemble a hypothetical proto-human or early human ancestor, with many of the same deformed characteristics of SCP-2254. As they develop, SCP-2254-1 instances will take increasingly more resources away from their mothers, starving them to encourage their own expedited growth. Despite this, SCP-2254-1 instances negatively affect the cognition of their birth mother, who will become passionately defensive of the SCP-2254-1 instance, even as it devours her from the inside out.  Despite a gestation and birthing process that leaves the mother exhausted and extremely malnourished, affected mothers are generally unable to recognize the anomalous nature of SCP-2254-1 instances, and will care for them as if they were normal human newborns, including breastfeeding them. SCP-2254-1 instances are extremely sexually violent, and will attempt to rape, maim, and consume any living creature that disturbs them when they are with their mother. Mothers will generally continue to breastfeed the SCP-2254-1 instances, usually two or three or more at a time, until they either expire, typically from severe malnutrition or cardiac arrest, or reach maturity. In any event of their mother's death, SCP-2254-1 instances will consume the corpse, and then disappear into any available nearby sheltered area, including abandoned buildings, forests, scrapyards, etc. Uncontained SCP-2254-1 instances are believed to be the cause of no fewer than 30 reported sexually explicit deaths over the last 15 years. Addendum 2254.1 Discovery SCP-2254 was discovered after an amateur photographer from Fort Payne, Alabama accidentally captured footage of SCP-2254 through an infrared camera lens. Foundation assets quickly secured a perimeter around the town, after which a four-month period of research and investigation began. It was determined that SCP-2254 was not containable by typical methods, and after SCP-2254 was followed to Birmingham, Alabama to follow a local of the town who had recently moved to the city, programs were implemented to discourage movement of affected persons out of Fallon. More information about this can be found in Addendum 2254.2 Addendum 2254.2 Black Tuesday Protocol The Black Tuesday Protocol was established to purposefully and effectively depress the local economy of Fallon, Alabama in order to retain the local population and control exposure to SCP-2254. The Black Tuesday Protocol is built on five core tenets. 1. Reduce spending at the state level to local schools and other educational programs. 2. Increase exposure to media that glamorizes or glorifies urban living. 3. Increase exposure to heroin and other opiates. 4. Decrease the price of alcohol and tobacco. 5. Enforce a family's first doctrine founded in evangelical Christianity that prioritizes a family structure wherein older members of the family have relied upon for child care, while younger members are free to continue procreation. The Black Tuesday Protocol also dictates the ongoing treatment of five women from Fallon who no longer live within the town, and who are visited occasionally by SCP-2254. All these women, ages 16-29, are being dosed through their water supply with the aforementioned mix of mephropyrhthone and prostaglandin to inhibit pregnancy. They are unconscious of this treatment, and while their inability to conceive children has taken a market toll on their mental health, the protocol has significantly diminished their odds to conceive an SCP-2254-1 instance, and has reduced the number of birth instances outside of Fallon to zero. Addendum 2254.3 Interview The following is an interview by Agent Lamier posing as an investigative journalist and a local woman named Kate Barnett. This is Barnett was, notably, twice the subject of anomalous conception due to SCP-2254's influence. The first of which resulted in the birth of two SCP-2254-1 instances, and the second of which was caught and terminated as a result of current containment measures. Begin log. All right, we're recording. Thanks for taking the time to sit with me, mists. Oh, that's Kate. Kate Barnett. But my maiden name is Kate Borst. Perfect. Perfect. So, when I called you on the phone, I had asked about some things that had come up in your medical history. You talking about my babies? Yes. How many kids did you say you had? Well, there's Daniel, and Bub, and the twins, then Baby June who passed. I was pregnant with another, but it didn't make it either. Non-anomalous child, still living in Fallon, age 26. Non-anomalous child, lived with his father out of state, age 19. Two SCP-2254-1 instances, both of which reached full maturity and were presumed destroyed after Mobile Task Force Alpha-44, big game hunters, raided an SCP-2254-1 nest, killing several of the instances. Non-anomalous infant, died due to complications from SIDS. SCP-2254-1 instance, that was terminated as a result of containment protocols. Yeah, that's perfect. Can you tell me about anything unusual you may have noticed with the twins? Something strange about how they were conceived, I mean? You mean about their daddy? He's a good for nothing.  Didn't want nothing to do with them. Would have been lost if it weren't for Jack. The father in question is Mason Banks, a welder who lives three doors down from Mrs. Barnett. Jack? Yeah, Jack's about as much daddy as he had.  Who's Jack? He's… You ever seen something in a dream?  That's Jack. He came to me the night Mason got me knocked up, and he's so pretty with that blonde hair in his eyes. He knows how to treat a woman right. I told him that Mason had left, and that I think he had got me pregnant, and Jack said not to worry about it, that he'd be there to take care of things. How did you know you were pregnant? Oh, that's just mother's intuition.  But he told me everything was going to be alright, and that he'd take care of my babies. And I see. How long have you known Jack? Well, ever since I was little, I guess. Maybe since while… Well ever since I was little, I guess. Maybe since when I was in the 9th grade, when Daniel was born. Jack was there then. He didn't say much then, just that I was a special girl, and that he was going to be around for a while. He wasn't around much when Dan was growing up. But he was when the twins were born, and then again when I had to miscarriage. God. He was so sad about that. I cried and cried, and he just held my hand and said, there, there, that's alright. You're still my special girl. I don't think so. I think just about all girls around here know Jack. He's just so supportive, you know? Like, it's like he knows what it's like to want to be a mother, and he's just there to make it alright. To some of them though, you know, he's just Jack, but, between you and me, he's my Jack. I see. Anything else you have to add? I don't think so. Hey, you seem to know all about this. You ever seen Jack's brothers? Brothers. Yeah. I think they're all named Jack. They're just each sort of different. Jack is scared of them. I am too, but I ain't ever seen them. Just the way he talks about them, you know they're bad. Bad? Bad how? I don't know. I just know that Jack is always smiling, except when he talks about his brothers. And he's not smiling much at all. End log.


The gentlemen program stuck with Don Vestler, his orchestra. The orchestra opens from the motion... And now for that self-made man that could have done a better job, Jack Benny. Hello again, this is Jack Benny, the hotel clerk, remember? And for once you're right, Don, you might be kidding, but I am a self-made man. Nobody helps me. You're looking. Well, say, this is all of Rembrandt's paintings weren't good either. Are you a self-made man, Don? No, the stock brought me. Hmm. I made pork. Go for myself. Let me get a few of them in tonight, Don, just for a change. Fair. After all, you're the comedian. Well, remember that. I'll try. But by the way, thank you. I tried to get in touch with you. Where were you? Well, Don, I sort of relaxed today. I went around so all the time. You know, I'm a real movie fan. You are? Yes, sir. I can watch pictures all day. You know, about 11 o'clock this morning, I went over and saw College with them with Joe Penner and Lanny Ross. Well, they were with me this morning. No, Don, I mean, they were in the picture. See, then I had lunch, and right after lunch, I went in to see the gay divorcee. You mean Peggy Joyce? Then later on, I went over to see what people we did, and Don asked me if I was a busy dean. It was Tagney. I won't, Jack. You're the comedian. Thanks. You'd be surprised how much better I feel already. Well, anyway, it was 4 o'clock, so I dropped in on the merry widow with Chevalier, then I left Chevalier and saw it today. With Jello? Yes, Don. It was a double feature. Thanks. Well, anyway, it was time to broadcast, so I came here, and like Eddie Cander, I am ready to kid million. Boy, am I hot tonight. Thank you, folks. What are you thanking for, Mary? That applause was for me. Oh, I thought it was my reception. Oh. Certainly is a fickle public here today and gone tomorrow. Well, were you all day, Mary, and am I sorry I asked you? I was over on Wimpole Street visiting the Barrett. What? The Barrett's a Wimpole Street. Do you hear me? Oh, well, how are the Barrett's? It's awful, Jack. The old man Barrett is getting so mean, all his daughters had to leave Wimpole Street. I see. They couldn't bear it. Do you hear me, folks? You certainly are the comedian tonight. What's funny about that, Jack? Mary, the Barrett's a Wimpole Street. They couldn't bear it, please. I still don't get it. Well, hello, everybody. Here I am, fit as a fiddle and look like a saxophone. Ah. The other self-made comedian has arrived. Oh, thanks, Jack. Do you really think so? Absolutely, Frank. You are, without a doubt, a real comedian. Well, of course, I can sing in a pinch. Yes, and that pinch is very important. Don't lose it, you know? Says you. Says I. Says me. Now, listen, I don't change the subject. I saw a picture this afternoon, too. Mary, you ask him what picture I can. Uh, what picture was it, Frank? I saw Imitation of Life with Don Besta. Well, he's a good imitation. He means I went with him to see the picture. That's right. Go ahead and spoil a joke. Well, I'm a comedian, too. Yes, Don, you're also very funny. But I am. I guess I can lead an orchestra in a pinch. Get ready, Don. The pinch will be here any minute. Says you. Says I. Says who? Says me. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Five minutes of our time gone and we're not getting any place. Same old arguments every week. You know, fellas, what this program needs is new talent. People with specialties, not pinches. They marry. Call up Jake Ginzel, the agent. Jake Ginzel? Who's he? He handles all kinds of radio talent. See if he can rock somebody over here and liven up this program a little. His number is Lackawanna 7460. All right. Hello, operator. Give me Brian 0499. Mary, that's the wrong number. What's the difference as long as he answers? Oh, all right. Hello. Is this Columbus 2593? Mary. Hello. Is that you, Jake? Say, Jake, this is the yellow program. Mary, tell him the six delicious flavors. Wilkins, keep out of it. Say, Jake, Jack Benny wants a new talent. He has something different. You know, novelties to the air. Ask him what he's got, Mary. What have you got, Jake? He says he's got singers, dancers, musicians, jugglers. Tell him to mix them up. Mix them up, Jake, and send them right over. Goodbye. Thanks, Mary. We'll get some real talent up here without pinches. Play, Jake. I mean Don. Don Bester and his orchestra. They married. Did any of that talent get here yet? Not yet, Jack. Say, Don, I hear you're doing fine at Lowe State having a big week. Yes, Jack. Thanks. How's everything up in Boston with your show? Oh, fine. I'm having a lot of fun in Boston. And besides, I'm learning to speak English. What do you mean? Well, I was at a party the other night and told a story about my aunt. And somebody corrected me. You see, in Boston, Don, it's your arms. You see, they use the broad A there. Well, that's the proper English, Jack. Whenever I go to Boston, I ask for a room and a boss. Oh, well, you can have your boss. I took a bath this morning. You look just as good as you do. You know, Jack, I love the way they talk in Boston. That's right, Mary. You were there, too. Did you have any trouble with the boss and bath? No, I took a shower and everything was all right. Well, that was smart. You know, I played in Boston a few weeks ago, and I can't say I had any trouble. You can't? No. You see, I just walked into the restaurant, ordered harmonies, and everybody understood me. Oh, sure. And you know why? I like their bacon, beyonds, and ketchup. Don't you like that? I have no complaints to make about Boston. Up there, jello is jello and it tastes twice as good as ever before. Again, we're getting no plates. What kind of a program is this tonight? There's somebody at the door, see what it is, Mary. Come in. Who is it? Jake sent me. Well, thank heaven I'm glad you got here. Well, what do you do? Fine, and how do you do? No, no, I said what do you do? What's your specialty? Well, I tell jokes and juggles. Jokes and juggles, that's a nice combination. Have you had any experience on the air? Yeah, I fell out of a balloon once. Well, don't worry, that can't happen here. Well, anyway, let's hear your jokes. That's what we need on this program. See, that's why I sent for you a real good joke. All right, my father's hair only grows on one side of his head. What side is that? The outside. That's fine. That's fine, that's very good. We can use you on one side of this program. What side is that? The outside.  You must have used a fine comb. What else can you do? I sing, too. You sing? Have you got a good voice? They tell me I'm a second Frank Parker.  Jack's having trouble with the first one. Now! Am I modified? Hot shot, shot, shot, shot. Well, now look, do anything, will you, and get it over with. Yeah, I'm in a hurry, too. What are you in such a hurry for? I drive a truck and a pinch. Oh, you too, eh?  What do you want to do first? I'll juggle. I'll juggle five plates at one time. Wait a minute, what good is juggling on the radio? How can they see you?  I know, but listen, I mean, how can they appreciate your juggling? Nobody will believe you. I'll take an oath I'm doing it. Oh, well, that squares things, yeah.  By the way, what's your name? W.C. Jones. What's the W.C. stand for? Fields. Oh, W.C. Fields, I get it. Well, get started. Do you want a little music with this? Yeah. Don, give him a little juggle music. Don, I said juggle music, not jungle music. Oh, pardon me. Ladies and gentlemen, five plates and very, very good too. Such jugglers. He is now juggling four plates. I mean three plates, eh? Well, even three plates isn't bad. Ah, how marvelously he handles one plate. Faster, just a minute. Boy, give me that plate, will you? Here.  He is now juggling no plates. Carry him out, boys, as there's no plates like home. How's the new talent, Jack? Don't worry, you didn't start out so good either. And now, folks, come in. Who are you? Jack sent me. I can imitate a dog. And in a pinch, I can do a rooster. Mary, slam that door, will you? And now, ladies and gentlemen, Frank Parker, number one, will sing One Night of Love. Is that right, Parker? Yes, but I can sing Blame It on My Youth in a pinch. All right, all right, sing. Mary, Mary, what are you laughing at? I don't know, I'm tired. Well, that was Frank Parker singing Blame It on My Youth. And now, my anxious public, we are continuing our series of breast-stopping, tear-jerking, hair-raising dramas. And for the first time on any air, we are presenting that thrilling play of the Mexican border, the Rose of Rio Grande Street. This play had a longer run than a 20-cent pair of ladies' stockings. It ran three days in Trenton, and then the cast ran from there to Philadelphia. And unlike ABC's Irish Rose, they are still running. This play will go on immediately after the next number. Parker, you get some cactus plants and some big sombreros.  Where can I get that, Jack? Any chili parlor, Mary. Play, Don, and give us a chance to get to Mexico. That was Don Besser and his hot tamales playing la cocorochia, or cucaracha. And now for our play of the Mexican border, the Rose of the Rio Grande. Atmosphere, Don. Now, Rose of the Rio, you are to me my only daughter, and I am to you your father. That sea-signor, sea-signor. Sea-signor.

I love him and he loves me. Chiquita, you shall never marry gringo so long as I leave. The quicker you leave, the better. Hmm, three o'clock Mexican standard time. Chiquita, I am very tired. I will go to my room and take one big nap. Okay, Sr. Chutz. Oh, Carioca, Carioca. Ah, come on, Sr. Rita. I have terrible headache. Bring me two castanets. I feel like dancing a fantango. Ah, fantango, fantango. What is the Sr. Papa doing? The scenery, scenery. Ah, fantango, fantango, fantango. He makes me sleep. He always happens to sleep. Ah, if you see him again, my hony, Carioca quick, he thank you a lot for too. See, Sr. Rita, I show you. And tell my Dave Caballero to come up down stairs. See, Sr. Rita. Come in, white grass. Quiet, my love. You will wake up the Sr. Papa. Ah, Rose of the Buick Rio, I love you. Ever since I have come to Mexico, I can't eat, I can't sleep.  Who was that, Rose? Papa, he always talking he sleep. Ah, Sr. Rita Rose, for the last time, will you marry me? I would like to, yes. But are you rich? You mean rich? Rich, rich, as long as you're wealthy. Well, I own plenty of oil. Yeah, it's in his hair. Papa, he's still talking he sleep. I don't care for you sleeping. Where did he say my oil was? In your hair, your hair. What was that? Hair, what's on a monkey's face? Look in the mirror and find out. I wish I could dream of an answer. Don't wake up Papa. Ah, Rose, for the last time, will you marry me? No, no, Papa hates gringos.  He will, eh? Well, there's nothing left for me to do then, but steal you and take you across the Rio Grande. Oh, I am so afraid. Afraid of what? Afraid that you will change your mind. Ah, Rose, my beautiful black-eyed Susan. Ah, Frank, my Mexican hair was popped. Hmm. Come, Rose, let us away. Where is your horse? Outside. Come along, Rose. It is seven o'clock. Chiquita, Chiquita. Rose, where are you? Oh, you know, your daughter has just a look with Franko. They are a grind across the Rio Grande. Oh, you know talk, eh? Well, I find them. Nobody can say this to me. The great Rudy Villa. Come on, you peons, follow me. We are headed for the Rio Grande.  Not that way, men. That is the Hudson River. This way. Look, Rose, we're being followed. Get these horses. They are hard. We should have taken a taxi. Get the axe. After four hours, we must hurry. Now, Cavaliers, we must cross the Rio Grande. Come on. Stay under me, horse. I can't swim. Ah, here we are. We make it all right. They will not get away from us.  I think they stop in this cabine. We shall see what we shall see.  C.C., Senor. Either way, you watch the road. Sanchez, you come with me. And Lopez, you play the piano. C.C., this is Lopez speaking. All right. Frank, it is a senior papa. And he is some type of hombre between my friends. No. Don't worry, Rose. I have a pretty tough gang myself. Come on, men. Make a fight to the finish. Come out of that cabine. Don't do it, Franco. Stand by, men. Don't worry. We will have faith in us. That was best of all. Come on out, or I will shoot. Little man, what now? Well, I guess we better go out. We just moved in here. And I don't want to cause any trouble. Ah-ha, another victory for me. People are friends. People are vagus. Time for the Mexicans we got here. Say you feel my daughter. What is your name? Don Franco Parker. And you gats? Who are you? Don Jose Betz. What's the Jose for? In a pinch. Say you tough guy over there, what they call you? Don Jello Wilson. That's three Don and one to go. I see you in New York, eh? What you do here? I'm selling Jello. Jello is just as good to pop off a Mexican meal as any other kind of a meal.  Hey, just one minute. Who is that hombre hiding behind you? Hey, tell me, who are you? Jake Sensen. For heaven's sake, what are you doing in Mexico? Are you a Mac? Sure, Mac Flatterman.  What else? What you do down here? I just came down for a bowl of chili. Say I tell my friend, are you from Mexico? What? Are you from Mexico? Mexico and I'm from Brooklyn. I know that. That must have didn't fool me.

Oh, you gotta brought their Jello, eh? Ah, senor, stop clowning. I would like to marry your daughter Rose. I love her too much like anything.  Well, you will have to ask her yourself because she will have to leave with you, not me. Then the rest is a cinch. Ah, Rose of Grand Street, for the last time. Will you marry me? I am healthy, young, and rich. No, never. I will marry Jello. Jello? Why? Because Jello is twice as rich. Hooray! That's all I want to know. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Play Don Emmanuel Umberto Bestaro.
