Name some everyday things that remind you of Emergency!
*It's been so long, I forgot who thought of this. I think it was Pam.
The Captain rides the
front of the tandem, the Stoker is the rear seat on
the tandem.
My dog, Gage, eats Ol' Roy biscuits
Sometimes when folks
go to the bathroom they refer to it as the "John" or the "Johnny
Ol' Roy dog biscuits. I feed 'em to my rats as treats. :) I think Audrey
mentioned them first.
Big Red chewing gum for a certain fire engine.
Stanley tools
Wasn't there a car called a DeSoto?
There's a kids series of books called "Hank, the Cow Dog." The lanky dog is head of "security" at a ranch.
One of the new books
we got at the library I work at is "The encyclopedia of TV pets." Did you know
that Station 51's basset mascot's real name was actually "Henry"? Also, Henry
was also on another show--Columbo. He was Columbo's car-riding companion. (Just
a little trivia.)
Any time I see the number "51."
There's a fast food place just across the parking lot from where I work. It's
called *Johnnie's Top Dog*. They sell Italian beef, gyros, hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage, fries,
etc.
The Stanley Cup Hockey trophy. :o) ( answer added 04/27/03)
The flashing red lights on the school buses are referred to as Big Red's. Make's me think of Engine 51.
And the last two digits of the bus I'm riding, 51, makes me think of Station 51.
And when the
firetrucks roll by I'm looking for the guys. LOL!
I taught a class last year that had two students who were named John and Roy. John was tall, skinny, talkative, goofy, with shaggy brown hair, and was pretty darn handsome for a high school kid. Roy was a little heavier, much quieter, and blond. Do I hear the Twilight Zone music? Or maybe the klaxons?
*Kelly* green paint and *Stanley* tools.
Driving by a fire station, seeing a fire truck, every time I make clam chowder at work :-)
There is a night club here in town called DeSoto's
Today, a man came in to work and handed me his resume. Guess what his name was, John Roderick ........., no not Gage, I couldn't believe my eyes. Only bad thing, he wasn't no comparison to Johnny Gage...
Every single time I go by a fire station, see a fire truck or ambulance go by, see a police car go by, or see a man in uniform.
My 4 year old's 'firetruck'
t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Every time I see a fire truck or hear a siren.
When I see the red '51' medic unit from a neighboring town.
Every time I start my
van, I get a little light that comes on and it says to "Check Gages." Guess what
goes through my mind? LOL
We had a contractor here that redid the decking at the apartments and his name
was Brent Mantooth. Well, I could hardly talk to him and keep a straight face.
And of course, every time I drive past our local fire station my mind starts to
wander. :
Ways to Spell paramedic:
Well, according to the
AmE!rican AbridgE!d Dictionary, there are several acceptable spellings. The most
widely used is, of course, j-o-h-n-g-a-g-e, but also frequently used is
r-o--y-d-e-s-o-t-o, with a few less common variations, d-w-y-e-r, b-e-l-l-i-n-g-h-a-m,
and the least acceptable spelling, c-r-a-i-g-b-r-i-c-e. This last one has fallen
out of favor in recent years. LOL
