  1. If she's like most regulars, she's probably found a familiar parking area where she's comfortable and goes there for each game. Following your advice, Cindy would forever have to be on the lookout for these clowns and start parking somewhere else.

    Cindy was parking in a different area than she normally does. If she wants to explain why, she will, it's not my place to explain.

  2. Does Hammers lot have security?

    His attendants stick around during the game to watch the vehicles. That's one reason we have our Annual TBD Tailgate there every year, is that we don't need to take everything down and store it while going into the game.

     

    As far as I know, no one at our Tailgates has had a cooler stolen (old timers will remember Heitz and his story of woe).

  3. She said Simpson was “very complimentary” to the city.

    “He asked questions about Niagara Falls and was very impressed by the golf course. He thought it was absolutely beautiful.”

     

    Asking question because he's looking for hiding places for the "real killers"?

  4. Thank you for the backup. I guess it was a bad idea. I just figured since this is such an opinionated board, get a contest going. No matter how much anybody gives, you can always find room for more. I thought if we had enough people pledging on each side of the record, it could work. I didn't look at it as not donating, I looked at it as betting, and getting someone with the opposite opinion to pay you off, which you then donate your winnings.

     

    I officially withdraw my cruelhearted offer.

    Don't take it back, just do it differently. Say you'll give HH $50 for every win during the regular season. If they run the table, you'll just owe $650 at this point.

    : : Does anyone know where the phrase "Holy Toledo" came from?

     

    : Don't know if it's relevant but Toledo steel was used in medieval swords - renowned for it's quality - which may have been used in wars against the Infidels.

     

    "holy Toledo! - This exclamation of surprise refers to Toledo, Spain, which became one of the great centers of Christian culture after its liberation from the Moors in 1085. Its thirteenth-century Gothic cathedral, one of the largest in Europe, is the seat of the Cardinal Archbishop of Spain." "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988).

  6. I forged hall passes and the like, complete with the forged teacher's or administrator's signature of your choice, and sold them to fellow students. 

     

    Never got suspended; never even got caught, the forgeries were that good (even when they figured out what was going on, they still never traced it back to me).  But I sure as hell would have gotten a week or so if I had been caught.

    I didn't bother with forging signatures, I'd sign my own name. Beginning of every year the school would give us the rules/regulations. I noticed my senior year that under Hall Passes, it only said you needed one, not who was authorized to sign them. So it was easy enough to get a pad of them off a teachers desk.

     

    My only detention story is lame compared to everyone elses. I got Det because I did not dress out for gym class one day because I forgot my gym clothes at home. Turns out we were doing wrestling that day and several other people also did not dress out either, so we were all sent to the principals office to get detention.
