Comments on: I Really Was the Eggman — Part 1 http://stevecotler.com/tales/2008/03/17/i-was-the-eggmanreally/ One man's squint at the metaphorical signposts, songbirds, soapboxes, street musicians, and hot dog stands of life. Criticism, lyricism, polemics, performance, and making change...all with mustard.

Nice site--I enjoyed reading about the Eggman. Your memory is much better than mine, but that looks like a Ford Parklane, not a DeSoto. And I thought it was Rosie Mendoza who called, "Hey, Eggman!" whenever she saw you. And wasn't there a fight with Rosie? I also remember one morning before Mr. Morse's class when you were recommending stocks: "Buy American Casket because people are dying all the time." Anyway, I enjoyed reading this story about the egg route and will move on to other topics. All the best to you. <em>[SC responds: Well done! Gene was right. Somehow, I slipped a Ford Parklane into the post. It has now been replaced with the correct auto. As for Rosie, I do not remember any fight…and if there was one, it surely wasn’t with me! She may have called out, “Hey, Eggman!”, but it was a couple of lads who tormented me on my route.]</em> Hi, Steve,
