Shirley Temple (Black) came to speak at our high school in No. Cal. in 1968, when she was running for public office. Me and the boys patched in a tape recorder to the PA system behind the stage curtain with a reel of tape that contained several loud, gross belches on it, towards the middle of the reel. I turned the volume on the recorder and the channel it was plugged into up to "11", and took my place in the audience next to my crew. Sure enough, when Shirley stopped to take a sip of water about 20 minutes later, the series of belches roared forth from the auditorium speakers. The last belch was "spoken", and it said "Vote For Me Or I'll Hold My Breath". She HATED it, and consequently lost the election to the incumbent. I like to think that we had something to do with it. This is only one of many ratf**ks that we perpetuated in the 60's, 70's and 80's. One of the pranksters and myself are writing a book about this stuff and this looks like a great forum to try some of the material out. Let's hear from ya! More later.
