  1. I was just thinking how if it the article gave the height in "story's" how it paints a much different picture and then your comment defined it. Although I thought the rule of measure is 10 Ft per story.
  2. Thanks for the Sid and Imogene link. They were the king and queen of comedy during the 50's. A bit dated now but they were cutting edge at the time.
  3. For some reason a couple of other 50 shows have come to mind. Sgt. Bilko and The Life of Riley. And then there was George Burns and Gracie Allen. That show is timeless.
  4. 69 hours! Make sure you get up and walk every couple of hours. I am guessing it is not as hard to do on a train as it is on a plane, but it is good practice to stretch those legs.
  5. Good story. I had never heard of this before. Surprised it is not a movie.
  6. You forgot Princess SummerFallWinderSpring. I had the hots for her. The earliest show I can remember was Romper Room. They had a nice looking lady hosting that show, at least that is what I remember.
  7. Or, how about driving.
  8. I have never had a pina coladas. But the pina coladas Jelly Bellies are pretty good.
  9. My wife is 6 years younger. Doesn't mean much until you retire. She doesn't work, so when you retire and start doing Medicaid, things become a hassle. I don't believe in not having insurance, so there is a gap until she reaches the Medicaid age.
  10. Are they close relatives in terms of relationships? If not now maybe in the past? That is an awful long time to "just drop in." What is it that they have to come and stay for week for?
  11. I make lists all of the time, in my head. Unfortunately, I misplace them.
  12. What ever happened to root beers brother, birch beer? Something I haven't thought about in 50 years.
  13. I didn't think they let grown ups on the play equipment. What did you eat that caused your problem,?
  14. 4 minutes and 41 seconds. Most have cost a fortune to run. I thought it was a production of the times, especially the singing. And I don't recall it at all.
  15. I was looking for something new to try while in Walmart and bought a bag of Hi-Chews. Very addicting. When I can get them, I like Wine Gums, but there are so many companies that make them and there is only one brand I like. That addiction came while I was working in Sweden. I think the Wine Gums there were imported from England. I know I have found decent Wine gums in Canada in the bulk candy area of a supermarket but I can't remember which chain. Both of these candies seem a bit pricey to me. They can also be found in the duty free of some European airports.
  16. Thanks for the info. I have never heard about the VO2 numbers. Did they have any for Merckx or Hinault?
  17. I think he was just a better cheater with better technology at his disposal. And maybe he skipped the rest of the tour just to avoid more drug tests. I started watching the tour while I was in France in 1978. It was great to watch on French TV, especially when you only had 3 channels.
  18. I am curious. How many of these called their own plays?
  19. During the Stanley Cup, they don't coast on the ice. They pretty much go all out on each shift. They are spent at the end of the game. Soccer players are on the field more but they aren't going full out every minute. So each sport demands a different kind of endurance but I am sure at the end they are both equally exhausted. They must have had the wrong booking agent.
  20. A few pages back, I wondered how the bickering Bills would have held up with twitter, etc.
  21. Get your girlfriend to watch Nose Dive in the Black Mirror series. That might help.
  22. I'm late to the thread but that was the chippy-est game I have ever seen. Both teams were pushing the limit. And the goalie save on the 4PK would have to be in the running for save of the Cup.
  23. I'll watch anything she is in just to look at her. Of course, I like it better when she is not in anything.
  24. I don't know if you were the first to post that in this thread or not, but this is true. His receiver corp was lost to graduation so he did not have the targets he had in 2017. He was also the victim of many drops. As in any preseason article, when it is negative most everyone gets defensive and when it is positive everyone thinks it was a great pick. In reality all the speculation doesn't matter. It is extremely difficult to tell who will succeed or fail. When you get it right the odds are you just got lucky. On top of that, there are probably as many busts who lost their careers because of poor situations as there have been success's. So really, all this proves is we can kill time speculating about our favorite team. Nothing matters until they take the field.
