Tea with Hungry Lucy #87 (Would You Like Some Coughy?)
In this slightly long episode, HL cover a lot of ground. Topics included Prince acting a fool, Howard Jones answering a question of War-N’s on the HoJo Podcast, another mention of the upcoming Pittsburgh show and attention is put to a blog comment on the GlideCam 2000 Pro. War-N’s OPM of this week is Evan Bartholomew and his new CD “Borderlands” (also of Bluetech) and Christa has more to say on Twin Peaks and Rome. A direct shoutout went to Tyim from CB on his mad design skills. Thanks, Tyim! Also, the duo chat aboot their recent day out photographing at Spring Grove Cemetery here in Cincinnati. Christa would like to apologize for her coughing throughout this episode. So there.
Did you have a Big Wheel as a kid? We did and they were great! Remember when kids went outside to play? Oh how times have changed. Those same Big Wheel drivers now appear on shows like Pinks. Maybe, someday, CB will too
Comments, thoughts, suggestions?.

Yes I had Big Wheel, and do I have a story about my Big Wheel!
One day I was riding it barefoot (as we seemed to do too often) and my friend jumped in front of me. I slammed on the brakes (which is just locking up your legs for those that did not have one) and my big toe went in between the wheel and the fork that holds the wheel in place. After a few days the toenail became loose, I remember it flapping up and down when I got into the bath tub. My mom or dad finally just pulled the nail off. My parents had me put the toenail under my pillow that night for the Toenail Fairy, she left me a dime for my toenail.

Oh my word!! Any mention of flapping skin, teeth or nail is enough to send me shivering under the table!! Wow, what a story. Well, at least you got a dime out of it!
I had a very bad experience on that damn red bike I was talking about. Basically, I slid on a gravel patch and landed on my face! Yet one time of many where I had an enlarged forehead due to injury as a child. It’s a wonder I can still speak!
Thanks for sharing
Take care,

This is a bit of a stretch of the Big Wheel story, but what the heck ….. my Dad made me this great little bike …. a miniature motorcycle with a wooden frame and metal wheels. He added this little metal flap that rested on the spokes and gave it this great “engine” sound. Needless to say the wheel didn’t last very long! And it’s amazing I survived …. the bike had no pedals or brakes. We lived on a steep hill and a ride from the top of the hill was breathtaking

So funny that you mentioned the Incredible Hulk after talking of the Big Wheel…
As that was who was on my Big Wheel!!!
Of course, I only got it after a neighbor had thrown it away, but dammit, it was new to me!
I also ran mine until the treads were non existant.
