  1. My mom had one about 15 years ago. Lip and lower leg went numb for a few minutes. No long term problem, just on warfarin since then.
  2. You spent most of the time in the water because if you stood around on the deck, the a-holes with the red dodgeballs tried to nail you in the balls.You walked slightly turned to the wall so you didn't present a target. Our pool was from 1960. The gallery doors were locked except for swim meets. Three gym teachers. The youngest seemed gay. The middle one was playing with his balls all the time and the oldest one (late 50s - 60years old) was a hardass. Nervous Guy was in my sister's class (2 years younger)and would remember Mr. Fraiser. He would yell at the trouble makers : "You guys are the same guys who don't spay their towel fee". If that isn't around any more, a towel fee was the $10 or so that your parents had to have you pay for the cost of laundering the gym towels for the year.

  4. They've been using the bomb range for years. The local media has had announcements for years for Dublin, CA (where I used to live and the bomb range is) " If you hear explosions near Camp Parks (the reserve base where the bomb range is), do not be concerned. It's Mythbusters filming an episode". When they are at a local FD , it is the Livermore-Pleasanton training facility in Pleasanton, the town south of Dublin. I like watching the episodes and trying to figure out where they filmed it locally. The quarry they used to blow up a cement truck was near Auburn, CA, in the Sierra foothills. I figured it out from seeing the FD on the fire truck. the car and truck myths are tested at the runways at the closed Alameda Naval AIr Station.They are based in Hunter's Point , near Candlestick Park.
  5. They do that at the South SF gun range, at a shooting range in one of the regional parks (SF area - probably a few miles south of Chef Jim) or for big stuff, the county bomb range a few miles from where I lived until a year ago. The cannonball oops happened on the other side of town.
  6. Tory and Grant from Mythbusters were in that terminal and are tweeting about it. Said they were in the Virgin Lounge, heard shots and were herded out on the tarmac by the cops. watching NBC from LA on the web. Gunman reported killed.TSA agent shot and killed, another wounded.
  7. He's paid to play football, not be a TV entertainer.
  8. I think of Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera.
  9. Tasker almost always was double teamed covering punts. He was on AM Buffalo Monday mornings. He had blocked a punt Sunday and pulls up his sleeve Monday. He still had the imprint of the laces on his forearm.
  10. Last time i was at an Oakland-Bills game (live out here), we were with Pinto Ken. Offering fans by us in the lot bowling ball shots really helped. About 30-40 of us were in the upper deck above the black hole and there were no Raider fans (no fans basically) for at least a section on either side. I took BART and didn't wear my Bills gear until I met up with our group. Also, talking knowledgeably about their positives while waiting in line for the porta-potty, stopped them from tipping it over while I was inside.
  11. 219 is EAST of the stadium and Hammers.
  12. My friend's parents got a free month of HBO about the time it started ( late 70s). Thing is, Adelphia never came to turn it off for many years. On a Saturday nights they would start with a hard R movie after HBO went off the air (about Midnight or 12:30) and the third or fourth movie was an X. I remember a few had Harry Reems.
  13. Obama Lied! Health insurance died!
  14. Nobody in their right mind is going west on BTR between the stadium and 219 after the game.
  15. A while ago, there was one in the Buffalo area that was sending people downstate without telling their families.
  16. The Greta Society decimated the Black family.
  17. Dork should retire like Tim McCarver is. After Fred's TD, he says the "The Bills are coming out for the FG". Gumble says "It's an extra point, Dan."
  18. I remember the Monkees. I was about 11. During one of the songs, my brother, who is now 45, was about 5-6 months old and was bobbing his head to the music. A lot of people say the Beatles started the video, they played the songs from their movies. Actually during the 40s, they had "Soundies". He is a clip from the Blockbuster site. Synopsis Of Soundies: A Musical History Soundies: A Musical History collects a number of short musical films that played on a film jukebox called Panoram in the 1940s. Many consider these films to be the very first music videos, and this documentary includes appearances by some of the most beloved musical artists of all time including Louis Armstrong. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi Complete Cast Of Soundies: A Musical History Faith Bacon Dorothy Dandridge Yvonne De Carlo Michael Feinstein - Host Ceepee Johnson Les Paul Trio Leonard Maltin Mitchell Ayres Orchestra Kay Starr Wynton Marsalis Count Basie and His Orchestra Jimmy Dodd Peggy Mann Merle Travis & Carolina Cotton Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra Mel Tormé & His Mel-Tones Dick Robertson International Sweathearts of Rhythm Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra Les Brown & His Orchestra Cyd Charisse Doris Day Frances Faye Hugh Hefner Spike Jones and His City Slickers Liberace The Mills Brothers Sally Rand Fats Waller Duke Ellington Orchestra Cab Calloway and His Orchestra Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five Nat King Cole Trio Will Bradley & His Orchestra Martins Lois Collier & the Glamourettes Johnny Messner Orchestra Claude Thornhill & His Orchestra Gene Krupa & His Orchestra Lawrence Welk & His Orchestra
  19. If you watch closely, the woman on the left elbows the "fainter" (probably missed her cue) and duh One turns a little too early.
  20. Too old - I was in my 20s when Video jukebox came out on HBO and then MTV Started.
  21. Fish fry-any hole in the wall bar that is packed on Friday at 5-7 PM.I like Town Shanty at Clinton & Harlem in Cheektowaga.
  22. Albany had a mayor, Erasmus Corning, that served from 1941 until he died in 1983. That included his his service in the army in WWII. He openly lived in the suburbs and not in the city.
