wow.. these are really good...I think this topic is already HOF material
There isn't a lot we know about Hutch but boy, oh boy, did old Hutch have a lot of records, I tell you what. I think we all knew that. There were other things we knew about Hutch, ancillary things: the square footage of his house, his kids names, his wife's name, what year he graduated from UofR, lots of things. But this isn't the time to bring any of that up. No sir, not right now.
Pardon my digression but there's a movie that always makes me think of old Hutch. It's called Drop Dead Gorgeous. Maybe you've seen it; its about these girls who are trying to win a beauty contest. Anyway, Denise Richard's dad owns a furniture store and he yells across the store at this couple: "Tom, Judy: look here. You don't Jew me down too much on that dinette, and I'll throw in a hutch for free! That's my motto: you don't pay less, I give you more!" And then he turns to the crew who are making a documentary about the pageant -- did I mention the film is a mockumentary? No? Oh well, anyways -- and he says "the trick is, the price of the hutch is built into dinette!" And that's Old Hutch. The price of Old Hutch was built into the dinette.
Gotta address the elephant in the room: it was a hell of a way to go, in an explosive mishap while riding his wheat thresher. I guess when the Lord calls you home, he calls you home. I guess the Lord needed a place to keep all his little angel ferrets and other assorted domesticated angelic creatures. I don't question his ways, I tell you what, they're a mystery.
