Bob puts downtown Hollister on sale
Reading this column can save you 50 percent off at these stores
in downtown Hollister. These are some of the stores who advertised
in our 1958 Hollister High yearbook. As we are about to celebrate
our 50th high school reunion at Paine’s which was in Hollister 50
years ago I talked most of the following into giving you a 50
percent discount. All are right in downtown Hollister.

Speaking of our yearbook, I was the sports editor for the 1958 edition. I really had a lot to do but was talked into it by one of the greatest teachers I have ever known. James Hoffe. Mr. Hoffe knew how to get kids to do things they never wanted to do. At that time I was involved in so many clubs and organizations, football plus after-school jobs that I had to say no until Mr. Hoffe appealed to my weak side. I would be the only guy on the paper’s staff. I was triangled by beauty. Rosita Cox, Alberta Clark and Jo McPhail, who made going to class a teenage boy’s dream come true. Thank you Mr. Hoffe. Aye chee waa waa.
Movies with nothing but a message are boring and that is why so many well-intentioned movies on racism flop at the box office. So yesterday I pop in one of my favorite westerns, “The Magnificent Seven,” and in the first five minutes has one of the great anti-racist messages ever and it lasts but a few minutes. The scene is where Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen drive a Hearse carrying a Mexican peasant to Boot Hill despite death threats from the good citizens who don’t want no stinkin’ Mexican stinkin’ up their cemetery.
With Elmer Bernstein’s magnificent score in the background it does in five minutes what most do-gooder movies can’t do in two hours. Pop quiz: who is the only actor who played a Magnificent Seven in the original “Magnificent Seven” still alive? Yul Brynner, Robert Vaughn, Steve McQueen, Brad Dexter, Charles Bronson, Horst Bucholz or James Coburn. Answer next week. The winners will get, if I can pull it off, an additional 50 percent off at those downtown stores listed above. One-hundred percent off. Aye chee waa waa.
I love watching women’s volleyball because I just love the sport. The skimpy outfits and gyrations and camera angles you expect to see on a soft porn channel mean nothing to me. But I do love the hypocritical women’s movement who wail against porn but say nothing about why we watch women’s volleyball. Oh, you think we watch for the sport. Okay, just put the women in sports sweats and watch the ratings fall faster than Queen Elizabeth’s royal ta tas when Prince Phillip removes her royal bra. Aye chee waa waa, I just went blind.
Have you seen the print ads for “Mamma Mia” with the warning “THIS FILM CONTAINS DEPICTIONS OF TOBACCO CONSUMPTION.” Made me so nervous I had to go to the lobby for a smoke.
