My non-employed buddies and I would pull up to the window, and he\u2019d give us a fast food bag filled to the top with french fries free of charge. We called Roy <em>Lord of the Fries<\/em>. We usually arrived close to midnight after a football game and pizza at Shakeys or an evening of mini golf and an hour or two imagining that four guys in Ray\u2019s Ford Falcon might chase down some hot chicks in a GTO. We actually did that once and cornered the girls in a cul de sac. We had to let them get away because there were four of us and just two of them, and none of us had the guts or the know-how to smooth-talk them.<\/p>\n<p>Our other best buddy, Paul Jimison, was our secret agent. He was a good guy and always available when we needed him to put on his old man pants and head into the mom-and-pop grocery in nearby Rio Linda to buy beer for us.<\/p>\n<p>The store was named Shop-and-Save. It was little more than a rundown liquor and convenience store in a sketchy part of what passed for a town in Rio Linda. We called it the Stop-and-Rob because it was more accurate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\">\n<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg 1456w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizing-normal\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456%2Cc_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cq_auto%3Agood%2Cfl_progressive%3Asteep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg?w=622&#038;ssl=1\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg 1456w\" alt=\"\"   data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/702d9c9f-56e9-48be-a30a-7a15cd37d943_500x375.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:375,&quot;width&quot;:500,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:622,&quot;bytes&quot;:59507,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false}\" \/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"image-link-expand\">\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset\">\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>(You may remember Rio Linda as the Sacramento suburb made famous by <a href=\"https:\/\/davewilliams0806.substack.com\/p\/the-rush-limbaugh-i-knew\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">my late friend and colleague Rush Limbaugh<\/a>. He spoke of every yard in Rio Linda being adorned by a car on blocks and a broken-down washing machine on the front porch. Rush said he went there each Memorial Day to place a six-pack on the tomb of the unknown bowler. It was an apt description, and the folks in Rio Linda loved the notoriety.)<\/p>\n<p>Paul Jimison was our age, but while the rest of us looked every pimply day of our 17 years, he already looked thirty-something in his little league uniform ten years earlier. When he let his beard grow out a bit, for four hours or so, he would put on his legendary \u201cold man pants\u201d (loose-fitting khakis, accessorized with muddy work boots and a too-tight flannel shirt) and could easily pass for one of our grandpas. He was never carded.<\/p>\n<p>We were good boys\u2014we really were. We loved our parents and respected our teachers. When we were lucky enough to go on dates, we kept our hands and our dirty thoughts to ourselves. At the end of the evening, we were available for a polite good night kiss at the door but didn\u2019t insist on it. We were all Richie Cunningham years before the TV show Happy Days premiered.<\/p>\n<p>None of that stopped us from occasionally being the bad version of good boys. That\u2019s really part of the journey, isn\u2019t it? Like our parents before us, we experimented with cigarettes and beer when we could get it, but that\u2019s all. Even though this was during the late-60s hippy era, we didn\u2019t do drugs, not even marijuana. All we wanted for a rowdy night out was a shared six-pack of beer and a pack of Marlboros to make us choke, cough, and feel manly.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why when we needed Paul and his old man pants.<\/p>\n<p>In 1968, a six-pack of Coors cost around $1.87, and cigarettes were 35 cents a pack. The four of us ponied up less than a buck apiece and sent Paul inside. He was back shortly with the Coors, the Marlboros, an assortment of Sugar Babies, Tootsie Rolls, and a pack of Sen-Sen. With 50 cents worth of regular in the gas tank, we were good to roll.<\/p>\n<p>We howled with laughter and high-fives. Paul was our hero.<\/p>\n<p>I have no specific memories of nights out with my buddies, just the still-lingering sense of camaraderie and fun of the great times that Ray, Pete, Jim, Mike, Roy, Paul, and I shared our blossoming manhood as brothers.<\/p>\n<p>Dear Jim Postak, who has been gone for years already, was the young victim of a hereditary bad ticker. He was a charming and talented singer, a friend everybody loved.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t seen or heard from Mike Worsham since we graduated. He\u2019s one of those special friends who seems to wander through your life and disappear. He was always smiling and laughing. I hope he\u2019s well and happy.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of us are in our 70s, waddling along on creaky knees as old men are wont to do.<\/p>\n<p>The Stop-and-Rob was eventually shut down after being busted for selling liquor to minors, but it wasn\u2019t Paul\u2019s fault. Word of our success eventually spread to dumber teenage miscreants who assumed the store would sell beer to anyone tall enough to put their money on the counter.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, they didn\u2019t know the secret of Paul\u2019s old man pants.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Today, June 20, 2023, is Paul Jimison&#8217;s 72nd birthday.
