Cork Knocker

[Citizen B]

He gave the commencement address when I was supposed to graduate college. I didn't graduate so I missed it.

Guess who came to speak to us when I was going through the Texas DPS Academy.

Prepare to be hypnotized:

It's 1976. I don't think Hugh Hefner appeared on the Captain Kangaroo show. Even the swinging '70s weren't that swinging. There is only one other famous pipe smoker from that era worth mentioning---and I am not talking about Gerald Ford.

Speaking of which, President Ford kept an ashtray with a cork knocker on his desk in the Oval Office. It was a gift from a foreign dignitary. I forget which one but you know it was better than a wine cork glued to the bottom or the off-the-rack pipe ashtray that I have that is branded with Savinelli. It was a bespoke presidential knocker, one-of-a-kind, suitable for a head of state.

I remember this show fondly!

I've read the the Captain and Mr Greenjeans were quite bawdy right up until the camera came on!

Out of curiosity KK, what did he speak about?

Also, Cork Knocker sounds like terrific British insult!

"That bloody Wanker is a regular Cork Knocker, he is!"

No, The Captain did not address our academy class.

Justin Wilson came and gave a talk about law enforcement of all things. Turns out he was a reserve deputy sheriff in his parish. We were more interested in his hilarious stories. It was fun.

The speaker at our graduation was the governor. Go figure. lol

That's better than Bunny Rabbit, who is who I thought you were talking about based on the photo.

I play his records and Mrs. King can't understand a word he says. And, we live here!!!

Cajuns do not live in the city and Justin Wilson was pure Cajun from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Creoles live in the city. Cajuns live out in the swamp in Acadiana.

God bless Acadiana:


So much for talking about cork knockers. This thread is all over the map and we are only on the second page!

Cork City? It sound cockamamie to think of such a place where there are cork knockers on every street corner.
