We used to grease watermelons and see which team could get it to the other end of the pool first. We’ve had some punt returners look like they were fielding greased watermelons over the years. At least our “Punt Catcher” was pretty reliable, as I recall. One of the greatest quotes EVER!

Ohhh, that opens up the flood gates for all my glutinous wishes!

Did you play in that one, Mr Coot? Just how old are you? 😋 Funny thing, the program cover below the player photos is something I remember from when I was a kid. I bought about a dozen covers on line and had them matted and framed. They are in an arrangement on the man cave wall. Mostly 1962-64 I think.

But, but….he learned how to fall down now! I hate to joke about it because this is serious stuff about his health, but he just gets rag-dolled so easily I’m afraid for the guy. That first concussion was just a slight push, not a violent blow to the head.

It’s just what some people do. Everything always comes back to their pet peeves.

Bernie? Is that you? After a while I didn’t want any more water from his parents vodka bottle.

Sweet is the enemy of good, and to be honest if I had heard finger lakes first I probably wouldn’t have ordered it. It was a pleasant surprise.

We were in NYC recently and the hotel bar had a Chardonnay that I thought was pretty good. I asked the bartender about it and was surprised to learn it was from the Finger Lakes region. I knew they had wineries, so I don’t know why it surprised me, but it did. I forget the name, but I’d drink that on a regular basis. Side note: I asked why each glass was $22 since it said $15 on the wine list. They pointed out the fine print said $15 for a 3oz glass. Who on earth gets 3oz of wine? Would that evaporate before they get it to you??? I thought the 6oz was a light pour!

You know you’re rich when your basement has a basement.

But massage school enrollment would be WAY UP!

I mean, if you are looking for volunteers, I stay in pretty good shape and I’m available. 🤷‍♂️ That makes Powerball look like my best shot.

I have this little hole in the backyard I go to from time to time. It’s my TMZ-free hideout. 😋 But seriously, I guess I don’t look in the right places. We were in NYC a few weeks ago and I kept seeing Barbie stuff everywhere. It was on every bus or flat surface in town! It took me (sadly) a little too long to realize it was a movie coming up. If you said Oppenheimer, I would not have said movie.

Fortunately for Bills fans, I think the Brown wallet will be limited to paying the QB what they must, but then the surrounding cast will drop off as that takes a LOT of guaranteed money put in escrow.

While I agree with you 100%, by the time I’ve flown to London and spent a few nights in a well located hotel……I want to nail down a ticket in advance. I know, some people will buy them as the tailgate is breaking up, and good for them, but I’m not that guy. I’m glad my personal ticket shopper handled things in advance. It actually wasn’t too bad and the seats seemed fine. The virtual view from the front of section 518 looked just fine to me. Seems like very good sight lines but that could be my eyes being tricked.

What? You don’t have any hobbies? 🤷‍♂️ And… I assumed you would. I’d like to see some of her mischief! .

Hope you kill it!

We need to have serious talk after you finish your homework, young man!

Do NOT attempt to minimize the importance of these fine ladies!

An unexpected duck hook took out the beer cart lady. Charges may be pending. I smell Go Fund Me for bail.

We were in NYC a few weeks ago and it was impossible NOT to notice all the buses and digital billboards pushing Barbie. It was EVERYWHERE! This is the first I’ve heard of Oppenheimer. I’d be much more likely to see that.

Many years ago I was golfing with a guy from work. On the first hole, a short but tricky par four, he pulls out a 3 iron. He is decidedly NOT athletic in ANY way. He tees it up, hits it fat enough that I think the divot knocked the ball off the tee. Snaps the head off and on it flies into the lagoon we have to cross. Wow! So he pulls out another 3 iron. Who carries two 3 irons??? He swings and……the grip unravels and turns to dust and the rest of the club does that helicopter thing into the same lagoon. Well, I’ve never seen anything like THAT! I haven’t even hit a ball yet! So now Keith turns to me and asks “can I borrow your 3 iron?” 😂

This thread made me think of another dinosaur. We were in NYC recently and went to my wife’s office, a huge commercial enterprise. A MASSIVE floor with hundreds of people. We went by a large room that seemed to be a storage area. Nope! It was the “Copy Room.” Remember those? Everybody needed a copy room in the office, especially something that big. Now? Everything is digital. They still had copiers, but they were not really there to be used. We went to the museum later that day, but didn’t see any copiers. Yet. I had a couple friends decades ago in the copier sale/office supply business. I wonder what they are doing now? And when it had to change.

YIKES! When we lived in Florida I hated jet skis! Slamming along making you a little shorter with every ride. Shortly before we moved away a “professional jet skier”, whatever that is, was jumping a wake from a large boat and landed on another jet ski, killing someone. Shortly after we left, a bunch of my son’s friends were in a terrible boating accident resulting in countless surgeries, but no deaths. It all sounds so fun until you realize how dangerous and alcohol fueled much of this behavior is.

No news is the best news this time of year.

This is the time of the year when no news is good news. Nothing great happens right now.
