[quote author=lenny board
They call me Tarzan because of the similarity between me and Johnny Weismuller even though I am age 62. ][/quote]
there was no pic attached -- actually he looks a lot more like elmo lincoln

Nice to meet you as well -- I see that you were a Parkchester girl -- Other than the Dollar Dry Dock/Emigrant bank (where in their cheesy parking lot I conducted the business of buying my first car (1981 Ford Futura) from a woman who worked there(friend of my ex-Bro In Law who also worked there)) I dont know a whole lot about it...

Hi Joan, Welcome to BCS, I grew up in the Bronx but have lived in the same house in Oakdale, LI, NY since 1968. We are in Suffolk county on the south shore. As far as Tarzan goes , don't pay him any mind, he lives in his own little world where every thing revolves around him. Every once in a while he hits a nerve and the Janes give him what-for and goes quietely into the clouds he calls home. He's harmless.........

Hi Joan, Welcome to the best Candy Store. Lots of nice kids here. I just know you will like it.. My name is "Carol". I come from near Tremont Ave, but closer to Prospect Ave and Clinton Ave. By 180th St. As for Lenny, the picture really does not look like him, because when I met him a few years ago, he looks much older, He must of has a face and body lift. But his wife looks so much younger then him, and she did not need a face lift. I guess he is tryimg to keep up with Mickey. Poor Lenny, he just will not give up. [glow=red,2,300]Welcome aboard Joan[/glow]

Hi Isabelle, As I said to Joan, this is really a great group of kids. You will have a good time in here. [glow=red,2,300]Welcome[/glow] Hope to see you on more, and the same for Joan.. Don't pay too much mind to Tarzan, it's just that someday he starts to feel very down, and this is his way to make himself feel VERY YOUNG.. Right Lenny? LOL

Carol, How did Lenny get the name "Tarzan"! I think it's cute with the Tarzans and the Janes, but was curious how he got his name and did he start it!

Joan, As Mike said he gave it to himself.. Now it has gone to his head.. He thinks all woman are Janes and he thinks that they should be doing as he said.. (NOT) He is really a nice guy, but the mind goes CRAZY on him sometimes..LOL. You will understand more as you read his postings.. Poor Mickey (Wife) do not know how she puts up with him. She is a Sweetheart. He is an Ex-Marine, so he is very mind controling, and thinks everyone goes along with his ways.. LOL Sorry Lenny, You ask for it. You started the war on JANES..

That did it...............Tarzan want divorce from all Janes on Candy Store! That's bull.............the ladies of the Candy Store gave me the name Tarzan because when they look at my Marine Corp picture I remind them of a macho man like Tarzan. C'mon ladies, admit it.......you all just drool when you see my picture. If you ever saw me in person, you would lose control of yourselves trying to be the first one at me like women at a basement firesale all clawing for the last item left on the table.

:)Hi Lenny,
Thanks for explaining to us why you are called "Tarzan"!!! Since you were a Marine, that explains it. My husband was a Marine, and was in Viet Nam. He, too, is in good shape. I've never met a Marine that I didn't think was "fit as a fiddle". I guess it was all that training, etc. that you went through. Also, I think you guys take "pride" in the fact that you were Marines. I know my husband does - he says "Once a Marine, Always a Marine". You never call a Marine - ex-Marine! He has hats and shirts which have 1st Marine Division on it. He was in "Mike" Company. He also has a Purple Heart license plate.
Also, from what you wrote, you still take good care of yourself so that you can "swing from those trees"! I love swimming too - that's a criteria for me when we move anywhere - must have a swimming pool.
Well, have a good day. Sounds like it will be a "busy" one.
"Semper Fi"

Tell your hubby I was 3rd Marine Division, 3rd Shore Party Battalion, Viet Nam 1964-1965. Danang, Phu Bi, Hue, Mai Cong Delta.
Boot Camp at Paris Island, then Camp Geiger and Camp LeJeune.
I enlisted from the Marine Corp Booth up on Fordham Road and Grand Cocncourse after the men in dress blues came to my high school at Samuel Gompers Vocational.
Yup...indeed......once a Marine always a Marine but I am not half as bad as these ladies on the Candy Store make me out to be.
MEOW !

:)Lenny, I told my husband about you and where you were when you were in the Marines. He said to tell you he was at boot camp at San Diego. He was in Viet Nam in Chu Lai from 1965 to 1966. Also, his association (Mike Company) is on the Internet if you want to look it up.
He said "Semper Fi"!!!
