However, ...This is <B>so</B> great, no wonder I love you. However, now I am sad about my little old cooler: not named, but loved. We'll call him Beigeboy. I don't know if he was an Oscar, but he was the same shape, and I think a Coleman. Obviously, he was beige, and his lid was maroon-ish. He went camping with young Abram & me on all the trips: Macedonia Brook, the Green & White Mountains, and best of all, Fundy National Park NB, Bear Creek NS, and beautiful Prince Edward Island. Then, in a very exciting turn or events, after serving as the Mom & Boy Camping Trip Food Box for several lovely years, Beigeboy made the band! Yes, tall and narrow enough to fit ever so nicely between the two front seats of the Dodge Van, like no Playmate has ever even dreamed of, and a flat top to boot. I think that's when he developed a drinking problem. No yogurt or cheese or milk... just 12 icy cans of St. Louis' finest. The beautiful design meant no fumbling around for the Playmate push button latch (why is it always on the other/wrong side?), just flip the handle and voila, there you go, here's your Bud! So, he saw the country and lots of cool bar dressing rooms, I'm sure, for several good years; rocked out from here to the Mississippi and then some. I don't know where he is now. Maybe down cellar? I can't think where, and if he was there, we would be using him... I think the non-pack rat in the family threw him away when he eventually (probably) broke, but I can't really be sure. After all, it's 2000 something, and you can't really expect a hard-living cooler to keep going forever, can you? But your post reminded me that he was a loyal friend for lots of years and good ol' Beigeboy is still remembered ever so fondly. I think I'll go look for pictures!nightowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282098720079627340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-57484637197057939832008-06-23T13:42:00.000-07:002008-06-23T13:42:00.000-07:00I like this post.
