  1. Not really NFL... BUT Amos Alonzo Stagg pops into my mind: 1862-1965 (102 years old) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amos_Alonzo_Stagg Basically invented the game. Oh... HFBD Marv!
  2. You are obviously too young to remember this guy! ๐Ÿ˜†
  3. This one stuck in my head all day. Hope it's now in your's too.๐Ÿ˜‰
  4. Best comment: "He (Pee-Wee) was the least cringe worthy." ๐Ÿ˜†
  5. Thank God the dark nights are drawing in again'cause high summer has got me down I'll wait till the end of August and get off this merry-go-round
  6. It's in the NYPost... Its gotta be real! ๐Ÿ˜‰...
  7. Gets weirder: https://nypost.com/2023/07/31/man-who-dresses-as-collie-dog-bites-back-at-online-trolls/ I can think of something even worse! ๐Ÿ˜‰ 1:14-1:40... "...want me to hit him up with the tranquilizer gun?" "Ah, it's New Year's, let them have their fun." "The black one must be the female." ๐Ÿ˜†
  8. Everybody, everyone Everybody, everyone (can you tell me what a Wang Chung is?) Everybody, everyone
  9. Welll... How about a collie? https://nypost.com/2023/07/28/toco-the-human-border-collie-steps-out-for-first-ever-walk-in-public/
  10. I guess punting for the Jets is off the table now. RIP PeeWee!
  11. It was purposely built that way. Because of the protests and campus turbulence of the 1960s & early '70s. I think the University President had a secret elevator to their office. ?? Everything was purposely planned with the brutalist design. Anyway... In recent years that design is being wiped away for more inclusive designs... Like adding a student union, etc... BTW... BA, '90.
  12. Still arguing about this? Children, if you're paying attention, does this teach you to make better choices than Mr.Araiza did? People will wield power over you when you associate with the wrong crowd. Have a nice life "PuntGod."
  13. Yup! Early March '76 was ice storm. I remember that better than Blizzard. I was only 8 in '76. I remember '78. We were stuck in school bus... BUT Blizzard is a distant 3rd. Probably because basement was on verge of flooding in '76...
  14. My inlaws and now my mother inlaw still use the oven to warm up the kitchen... /smdh... AND my father inlaw was a welder for NationalFuel! ยกAy, caramba!
  15. Sure. Why not. ๐Ÿ˜
  16. R.I.P... What's the "real L.A. sound?" 1963: The Mamas & the Papas 1967: The Doors...
  17. Same with semis or big trucks. Last thing I need is a stone on the windshield!
  18. And if it can't be self-sustaining, then we as tax payers should be forced to make it self-sustaining. The PO is the cornerstone of free society. Like somethings... ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰... It's inherently governmental. You can't get rid of it and let the other two non-governmental companies be the only show in town. I think you missed my post above about NOT becoming a society to the elites. The USPS serves a public check to the other big two. All a fruitless effort... It ain't going anywhere being it's the cornerstone of society.
  19. The PO is funded only by price of stamps. NOT your tax dollars. A first class letter to my neighbor OR Point Barrow, Alaska cost the same. Of course it's gonna lose money. Should a letter to Alaska from the Lower 48 cost $40? Once again... You have roads because of the Post Office.
  20. No. It's constitutionally mandate. The roads you drive on are basically free because of the P.O. It's the first thing we do when we nation build. Build a P.O. Unless you want to live in an elitist world... Libraries and Post Office aren't going anywhere. They are the top 2 institutions in a free society.
  21. Great "WaterPark" in Montpelier too! I hear the flume is a heck of a ride! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜œ Too soon???
