  1. I recall reading in multiple books regarding the case that there were two white Ford Broncos. The one Simpson was in possession of was actually owned by Hertz, and was the vehicle found parked outside of the Rockingham house by police when they arrived to inform Simpson of his wife's death. That Bronco was supposedly exhibiting evidence of blood on the interior, which prompted police to impound it. The other white Bronco was indeed under the care and control of Al Cowlings, but I do not recall if he owned it, leased it, or had some deal with a rental company or car dealership over using it. This was the vehicle involved in Simpson's flight and low speed chase. The article's author might want to check this, but it's the internet. The facts aren't important. 🤨 ********** "O.J.’s Bronco — the one parked outside his house, with the blood, had the license plate number 3CWZ788. Jeffrey Toobin’s “The Run of His Life,” which inspired the FX miniseries, tells us that Cowlings’ Bronco had the license plate number 3DHY503. The Bronco featured in the miniseries has a different license number to either Simpson’s or Cowlings’ Broncos, because it’s Hollywood. Toobin’s book also reports that when detectives first checked the plates for Simpson’s Bronco, on the night of the killings, “they came back to the Hertz Corporation, whose products Simpson had long endorsed.” Additionally, the real-life witness on the show who saw the Bronco racing from the direction of the murder scene on the night of the murders remembered the license number, though she was slightly off." - From the article 'OJ Fact Check: Two White Broncos?', by Tim Molloy, The Wrap, February 9, 2016.
  2. Further to this, I passed by some reading last week that revealed Flaherty was actually Jayne Eastwood's brother in law. When I first met 'Bride the Second', Ms. Eastwood lived in the same Hamilton Ontario suburb, and was often seen shopping at the grocery store on Wilson St. Her husband was researcher and screenwriter David Flaherty, Joe's younger brother.
  3. At least that analogy is far better than the one that got him in so much trouble last year. 🤔 Maybe someone teaches McDermott to speak Tamarian? "McDermott, his eyes uncovered! Benford and Elam at Met Life!"
  4. As a discriminating consumer, I demand that Merrill Reese be forced to dress as Carmen Miranda for this broadcast, as punishment for starting the 'Ertz to Buffalo' story a few years back. 🤨
  5. Beane in disguise, subtly influencing the other 31 teams. 🤔
  6. I recall the group stopping by WZIR FM's morning show (I think 🤔). Jim Nowicki I believe was the morning show host, with George Prentice as the news director. Jim died a few years back, George is still in radio at Boise State, Idaho.
  7. SCTV's parody of 'Goin' Down the Road'. Jayne Eastwood reprises her role from the original movie. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0065788/
  8. Any WNY media trying to tie in chicken wings and the eclipse? 🤔🤨
  9. The original recording > the remastered recording. * Probably the only vinyl I wore out.
  10. Either falls down the board, or falls down ON the board. 🤔🥴
  11. If it's in direct proportion to what Jim Lahey could hold, you're going to need Punching Bag's special reserve he was gifted. 🤔
  12. 🎵JOE! Buscaglia 🎶 🎶JOE! Buscaglia 🎵 🎵JOE! Buscaglia 🎶 🎶oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo🎵 🤔
  13. Geographic and nautical factors aside, Al Martino never sang about Sacramento, did he?! 🤨 * 😁
  14. Should have arranged an interim placement in Sausalito. Closer than Sacramento to Oakland, and an Al Martino tribute band could have played at home games.
  15. Bisons Baseball, Pilot Field, 1988-1993. Kids got older, and the Peace Bridge got busier.
  16. 'Water draws water'. Now I have to take a leak. * I half expected a Fraggle to jump out and start singing their theme song.
  17. WATCH YOUR DRINK. BEANE! You're not looking, Schoen drops something in your glass, and the next day Schoen shows you the 'Danny Dimes' for Allen contract you signed! 😳
  18. If that was 'The Horror of Fang Rock', it was indeed a Louise Jameson (Leila) story. Over the years, there have been both amateur and professional reworks of the special effects.
  19. Still doesn't equal the poster who referred to 'Edmunds' as 'Edwards'.
  20. Classic Who had some of the worst special effects, but the cliffhangers were 'da bomb'! * City of Death, part II to part III: The Doctor: "You! What are you doing here?!" Captain Tancredi: "I think that's exactly the question I ought to be asking YOU...Doctor."
