Looks like Jack Benny on the left. Is that Jim Backus on the right? You know, billionaire Thurston Howell.

But he plays like #2.

It's deja vu. Sadly, it is no surprise. The same fat villain haunting our January dreams.

Wow, are you going to be in for a shock. Stay tuned.

The good old days - when Sattlers at the Boulevard Mall featured a music store which carried Vox amplifiers and guitars! It was the time of Beatlemania, and Vox was their brand of amplifiers. Especially the Vox Super Beatle amp, about 5 feet tall in it’s chrome stand! That was just the most fun place to visit in that era!

You can get this game on NFL channel if you wait until Sat 12 midnight ET Just do something else for a few hours so you don’t see the score anywhere.

Ouch. He has legit cause to legally get it changed.

Does it literally cost big money to pick a bunch of players from the portal? Didn't Sanders bring in 86 new players when he took over at Colorado?

Condolences for your loss. It is difficult to lose a loyal family member.

You Ain't Getting &^%$ for Christmas

This is probably posted somewhere earlier in this 200-page thread, but it has become a Christmas favorite. So, here we go!

This is a great story. Thanks for posting it. I spent one Christmas away from home when I was in the Army. I was in Germany during the Cold War, so I was never in any danger. Christmas greetings to all of our combat veterans on the board. Thanks to all of you.

It's the only beatnik Christmas song that I know of. Do you remember Edd "Kookie" Byrnes from the TV show 77 Sunset Strip? Like Yulesville, Daddy-O!

Our family had 5 kids, and 1 income from my dad. So there were a few gifts for each child, one major item and some smaller gifts. Our friend Richard, an only child, stops by and asks “Where’s your big stuff?” Sixty years later, that expression still pops up once in a while.

Same to you, Bad Things! And a Happy New Year!

Do they really chant “S E C”? Weird.

It surprises me that people have such an issue with wearing seat belts. Maybe they never saw the momentum demonstration with the egg strapped down vs not strapped down. I can understand teenage boys not wanting to seem unmanly, but adults driving without seat belts makes no sense. I have an adult step daughter who doesn’t wear them, and doesn’t make her kids wear them. It’s just a foolish choice to make.

I visited Hungary many years ago. Lovely place, but the language barrier was tough. I know some German, Spanish and French, but none it helped at all. In most tourist places, English will serve you pretty well.

The upcoming postseason? Golf in January probably.

This is how feel as well. I was drafted during the Vietnam war, but they sent me to Germany. The guys who saw combat are definitely on a different level. That experience can change your life dramatically. I give thanks for those guys.

Did you have to learn some new words like “splendiferous” and “amazicating”?

I think they are still fatigued from that stinking trip to Europe. Josh’s last words to the interview lady “Let’s go home”

I normally have my morning coffee during 10 AM Bills games.
