Was there ever a sport you tried you weren’t good at?
RichStadiumGuy replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall
Yeah... we did those underwater laps too and we also did them in the buff. Not at the same school but I'm thinking that was the routine most of the "athletic directors" used back then... maybe that kind of stuff was in their Teacher's Manuals? Although I loved being in the water swimming wasn't one of my favorite things... just splashing around and playing water related games was always a blast for me. Anyhoo... you would have blown my doors off in the underwater thing! I could make it all the way to the other end holding my breath... but just barely. Now I'm in my 70's with chronic COPD from smoking for more than 50 years... just thinking about holding my breath makes me hunt down my puffer just in case :) -
This recent article in TMZ just posted this morning stating it was suicide... apparently he hung himself in his bedroom and was found by his landlord. https://www.tmz.com/2025/04/14/dazed-and-confused-actor-nicky-katt-suicide-hanging/

Then you'd hate the hell outa me I guess? Back in the olden days of school in the mid 60's our gym instructor made everybody climb the ropes and the poles all the way to the top and touch the metal hanger up there before they could come back down. At the end of the week he'd hold races that I always won because I'd just go hand over hand all the way up and never used my feet. I could get all the way to the top, touch the metal hanger and be back down on the mat before almost all of the other guys got to the top. NOTE: I'm not bragging here... that's pretty much the only "great" accomplishment I ever made in gym class during junior & senior high school :) -
Deshaun Watson suffers 2nd achillies rupture
RichStadiumGuy replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
And the ONLY reason Huntley made it there was as an alternate after our Unicorn Josh Allen opted out. -
I have no idea but I doubt it. If the old man wasn't willing to give up the Pontillo name when he sold the business I have serious doubts that he'd give up the Pontillo recipe.
-
You're not mistaken... the original one is still on East Main St in Batavia but it's not owned by the Pontillo family anymore. The new owners couldn't talk the old man into keeping the Pontillo name when they bought the place so it's called "Batavia's Original Pizzaria" now.

A LOT of makeup and I might give it a second look?

There's a long standing "joke" about Ohio that I heard for the first time WAY back when I was a youngin....... Q. Why do all the trees in Pennsylvania lean towards the east? A. Because the entire state of Ohio blows!

The wife and I did a 3 day "weekend getaway" to Cleveland a little over 15 years ago to check out both places. We arrived at our hotel in Cleveland late Thursday evening so we hit the R&R HOF early Friday morning thinking it would only take a few hours to see everything of interest and then we'd head on to Canton afterwards and spend Friday night there but the R&R HOF is WAY bigger than we'd imagined it to be so we ended up spending the entire day there on Friday and we still didn't see everything. There were several areas we couldn't access as they were in the progress of changing the displays around for several groups which I've heard is a regular never ending process there. We had a nice dinner in the restaurant of the hotel we were staying at and our waiter overheard us talking about maybe checking out a Comedy Club that wasn't very far from the hotel and he told us the hotel provided free shuttle service to anywhere in the downtown area so we jumped on that opportunity and went to a comedy club (which was also something we both wanted to do.) By the time we got back to the hotel around 10:30 Friday evening there was a message from a family member notifying us there had been a death in the immediate family Thursday afternoon so we ended up heading back home Saturday morning instead and we never made it out of Cleveland. Maybe we'll make it to Canton this summer now that the Boss will also be joining me in retirement pretty soon?

I guess I'm a super-mutt as not one of my grandparents were born in the USA. Both of my grandparents on my father's side were born in Poland and on my mother's side one was from Ireland and one was from Wales. As a matter of fact my father was born in Poland too but they all came over here when he was only 3 years old. I remember my grandmother from Wales regularly ribbing my grandfather that he was just an "Irishman wannabe" because his parents moved from Ireland to Wales shortly after he was born.

RichStadiumGuy replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall
Okie-Dokie... thanks Augie. I'm gonna have to guess it's a browser issue then? By any chance are there a lot of graphics on page 2... like "X" or F-Book entries? -

RichStadiumGuy replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall
Every time I open page 2 of this topic my browser completely locks up and I have to force a close on it using Task Manager... is anybody else experiencing this? It's not my computer for sure as I'm having the same issue on my wife's computer too. To be clear... this is only happening on page 2 of this topic... nowhere else. -
Who on TBD has been married the longest ?
RichStadiumGuy replied to LewPort71's topic in Off the Wall
We're fairly close on the family thing... both of my parents were married twice, both of my two brothers were also married twice and so was I. The only one in the family that was married only once was my sister. It makes a big difference if you find the right one though... I've been with this one for 48 years now and we've been married for 43 of them. I swore I'd never get married again after the first one but after dating my present wife for a couple of months I found out that some of them aren't moronic lunatics! -
So much for the National Weather Service
RichStadiumGuy replied to Roundybout's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Are you really that stupid or have you just spent your entire life in a snow-free environment like your son? "No unnecessary travel" is pretty much self-explanatory... it means don't go out on the roads unless it's necessary. If the big wheels want to create a "travel ban" due to the weather then that means there's no driving at all... anywhere... for any reason! A "travel ban" would mean you could get arrested for driving to work... "no unnecessary travel" means stay off of the roads unless you have a valid reason to be on them... as in going to or from work! I spent 18 years of my life as a Professional Truck Driver running the entire east coast from Maine to Miami... anywhere east of the Mississippi river actually... and both of those meanings meant exactly the same thing in every state I've ever driven through. Strike 3 Dude... I'm done attempting to educate you!
