Hacker Trivia!!

Sorry Balaam, I believe it was gone before you arrived.

No. Sauzers was there when I came. That was the name, wasn't it?

DING DING DING!!!  We have a winner!

Just remember the corner at 41 and 30 where Wal_Mart is now. There was a pancake house on the corner and little else.  Look at it now. When we move to NW Indiana there was nothing across from South Lake Mall. Now there is probably more there than South Lake Mall. And I used to have long beautiful hair! And I could run the mile in under 20 minutes! And I owned a Ford Pinto! And gas was 69 cents a gallon! And I still believed that FBCH was the answer to all the problems of the world!

Yeah, but did you ever take your kids across the street behind (formerly) Stracks to Sauzer's KiddieLand?

I am going to present this in an easy way:

Identify this location and explain its significance to IFB.

Is this in Dallas where Jack's dad hollered at him?

C'mon........you can get more specific than that.  I even gave you the street names!

Okay, Is this the infamous, "If you're going to be a blankety blank preacher go out and build the biggest church in the world" street corner?

Nicely done.

It happened on a New Year's night.  If you can name the hotel, I will even show you the interior of the very bar where the incident began before being continued onto this very street corner.  (And you don't even have to have the most visitors to win this portion of the virtual Trip of a Lifetime)

I would hazard Larry Haygood for the longest student award...

He spans decades, for sure.

I thought he was staff.

...which reminds me of a student relative of mine. For years he struggled with the academics at HAC (I know, I know) but he excelled in the bus ministry. On the flip side, he couldn't hold a job to save his life. Finally, out of desperation and pity, his division leader got him a job driving a bus for City Baptist. He promptly called up everybody in our home church and informed them he was now on staff at FBCH.

...and here I thought I missed out on all of those. (Though, of course, you can watch them on youtube. Scary stuff, actually).

This is the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, TX where Jackie-boy's father kicked him and shouted: "Hey everybody!  My blankety-blank son is going to be a blankety-blank PREACHER!  Well,  If you are going to be a blankety-blank preacher, go build the biggest blankety-blank church in the world!"  Which, Jackie-boy would later do.

The Adolphus Hotel is actually quite elegant.  I had always imagined it as a dirty, worn out barroom.  There is a bar, but most of the hotel is a very fancy place.

What did Dave Hyles once purchase that his dad was against?  After being calmly reprimanded he returned it.

Now, play nice on this one. 

A motorcycle!

If you remember, Dr. Hyles was not a fan of motorcycles.  Dave purchased one and his dad called him in his office and calmly destroyed Dave's logic.  Dave said, "After my dad was done I walked out of his office under the door."

"In the early/mid '80s there was a disagreement between two groups of students.  If escalated to the point that Dr. Hyles came to the college and met with the two groups.  What two items caused the issue?"

I love stories like this.

After my time but it was all about the wearing of pink shirts. JH, I am told, took the side of those wearing pink.

Who was the HAC student that could do a Elvis impersonation that Elvis would have envied?

I heard about the pink shirt debacle.  The other item would have then been horn-rimmed glasses.  I would have thought this was earlier than the date given.  If the story is right, Some MOG wannabe preached against such trendy items.  JH then smoothed over the issue and even bought the items in question from the HACkers in the "wrong."

Would that be Larry Weeks?

Pink shirts and pleated pants

There was a group of students (several from California) who wore pink shirts and pleated pants.  Another group of bus ministry Hackers (led by the Esposito brothers) begin to say that the shirts and pants were "gay".  It reached a point of contention To cause Dr. Hyles to meet with both groups after a chapel service. 
There are two things I remember from their meeting.  Dr. Hyles asked one of the Esposito brothers what was wrong with pleated pants.  He said they looked "gay".  Dr. Hyles said, "The pants that I wore as a paratrooper were pleated.  Was I gay?"  I wish I could have seen their faces.    Secondly, to calm the storm they "outlawed" pink shirts.  In turn Dr. Hyles agreed to pay (I think it was $10???) for every pink shirt that was turned in. 

Nice job on getting half correct, Fish and Binaca!

In the early '80s Bill Pennell preached the Valentine Banquet message at HAC.  What was the name of his message?

Was there a separate incident with horn-rimmed glasses?  These too, were outlawed.
