Through the years

We expect this to be a historic year for the Playaz, in The Year of the Playaz.

While we plan our strategy for world domination, we also reflect back on some of the historic moments the Playaz have been involved in, some recent, some many years ago.

We all remember when The Guv'na was shot while visiting Washington D.C.

You also remember the contest, and the Playaz Missile Crisis that followed shortly thereafter. But many of you have never seen the photo taken of me at Playaz Headquarters, agonizing over the decision of whether or not to invade Washington. Below, for the first time anywhere, is that photo.

There have been many memorable moments the Playaz have shared over the years we've been together that have never been published on this website. I now give you a glimpse into some of these rare, but intriguing photos of our past:

Back when the South was much more conservative than it is today, the Playaz were often denounced by local pastors and clergy as "children of the devil". They made every effort to warn youngsters to stay away from the temptation of the Playaz and their taudry affairs.

This is a rare photo of the time Tac challenged John F. Kennedy to a nationally televised debate. No, Tac was not running for office, he just thought Kennedy was a phony and didn't care for him personally. Tac was viewed as 'threatening' to the viewers, and many sided with Kennedy and his boyish good-looks.

Wayne wound up getting the best of Kennedy, however, as he is photographed here at the Presidential Inauguration moving in on Jacqueline Kennedy. Here Wayne is seen pointing JFK to a seat towards the back, telling an upset Kennedy "you know the name of the game...your woman chose me. Now go get me a cheeseburger."

This photo shows a meeting between former President Nixon and The Guv'na. Nixon often consulted the Playaz on ways to manipulate the law, how to pick locks, etc. (the Guv'na being one of the best). Guv'na was once known as "The Gentleman Burglar" in his younger days.

Bon and I when we were members of the Black Panthers. J. Edgar Hoover called us "the biggest internal threat to our country's national security". During this time, Bon & I killed 3 members of the British pop band and Saturday morning TV show "the Bugaloos" (specifically, "IQ", "Courage", and "Harmony").

Letters from the President

I was going through some of our old
files and dug up these letters we received from former Presidents JimmyCarter and Ronald Reagan. Brought back some old memories. Take a look:

Little did President Carter know that the Playaz were Republicans.
Also, little known trivia fact, it was President Ronald Reagan who
coined the anacronym "Laugh Out Loud" (LOL) before email and internet
were even popular.
