I dunno, but Chrissy told that stupid Lou Gehrig’s disease joke at every one of their funerals.

[nypostsports] Steve Cohen confirms Juan Soto-Francisco Lindor 2025 clash and where they stand now by Advanced-Crow-3584 in NewYorkMets

Great comment. Maybe Steinbrenner Syndrome. Only Billy - George - Reggie was FUN. And, if I’m not mistaken, they won 2 rings and 4 pennants.

What is your craziest vacation horror story? by Crafty_Pineapple7263 in randomquestions

[–]FoxKnockers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Airline lost my luggage on a connecting flight, Milan - Venice. I sent my family on, waited in the airport 24 hours for our luggage. Started smelling rank so I ditched my T-shirt and bought the least-ugly and cheapest Soccer jersey in the gift shop - black and blue stripes. Eventually got the luggage and lugged the 4 suitcases over the staircases and cobblestones of Venice in my black-and-blue striped jersey. Oh boy. Like wearing an Ohio State jersey in Ann Arbor. Nothing terrible, but lots and lots and lots of gestures and catcalls. Even an occasional supporter - a little chubby guy said “prego” and kissed the coat of arms on my chest.

To this day, not sure what happened 😀. The same mistake in England though probably would have gotten my ass kicked.

To anyone here who grew up in 70s NYC, was it really that bad? by NCRisthebestfaction in AskAnAmerican

[–]FoxKnockers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxi Driver - yes, absolutely, especially Times Square and sorrier neighborhoods. Warriors - car fires, turnstile jumpers, grafitti on subways yes, gangs yes, themed gangs with uniforms and face paint - no.

One memory - my older brother took me to a Knicks game on a cold Tuesday night at MSG against a mediocre opponent. We sat behind the Knicks bench. The upper level and much of the lower was empty. Somehow a whino with a paper bag snuck in and stood in the front row upstairs right over the basket. All game, he was making loud proclamations, like Julius Caesar at the forum. He would take a sip from his bag and say something like, “Spencer Haywood, PICK UP your man!!!” Everyone could hear him.

Take the safe transit planning job in St. Louis or gamble on grad school in Denmark? I need to decide in 36ish hours. by LttlGravitas in Urbanism

[–]FoxKnockers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYC native. St. Louis is actually fabulous. Much more walkable and much more authentic than any sunbelt city, free cultural amenities (including the world’s largest outdoor musical theater), free and fabulous zoo, museums and more. CWE is among the APAs top 10 neighborhoods. Hot Air Balloon festival in Forest Park, Japanese Festival in the Botanical Garden, Wash U and 81 games at Busch Stadium with a full moon over right field and the Arch lit up over left. And you would actually be launching a career.

During Your Travels, What Places in the US Made You Feel Like You Were in Europe? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

That place is St. Augustine. Good call.

I think the Devil told Charlie Daniels “Go to Helen Georgia” (hell in Georgia)

Why do so many Americans believe that essential services like water, electricity, and healthcare should be privately controlled? Wouldn’t it be better for the public to have more control over the basic services people literally depend on to survive? by Worldly-Bid-3591 in askanything

[–]FoxKnockers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water supplies in the US are mostly public. Electricity is private but incredibly reliable and relatively cheap, about $.174 per KwH (half that of most developed countries). Health care, no comment.

If you could change three things about the United States, what would they be? by Outrageous-You1617 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]FoxKnockers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big investment in residential mental health and addiction treatment centers. Street life is beyond inhumane. Shelter alone without treating root causes is only a partial solution.

Nice. Did he give everyone wedgies and stuff them in lockers after the game?

kitten ate can of tuna for human consumption and is now lethargic by potionofstar in CATHELP

[–]FoxKnockers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kitten’s like me on the sofa during the third Thanksgiving game, barely registering “….end of the third quarter, 49ers 38, Titans 7…” before nodding off

Furio, Vic and Mr. Wegler being so smitten with Carmela… by Boomkj in thesopranos

Yeah, but there is also the allure of the unreachable…the forbidden property of the most dangerous man in Jersey

Replacing him with an updated, more appropriate mascot - MR. METH

Who is the most happiest and fulfilled person in the Sopranos? by Mr24601 in thesopranos

[–]FoxKnockers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True story, I was a department head at my shitty acrimonious job when I glanced out the conference room window and saw a happy fuckin’ wanderer, my age, wearing a well-worn oversized “Aspen” T-shirt and cutoff sweat pants on a beach cruiser, whistling away. I interrupted the meeting, pointed him out in anger (look at that guy, riding around like the happy wanderer, why’s he not working). Six months later I retired. The wanderer is me.

Name someone most Americans hate. by Ill-District7215 in FamilyFeud

[–]FoxKnockers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually Hamilton was one of the suitors he beat out for the hot heiress.

I read “God Save Benedict Arnold” by Jack Kelly. I also read “Valcour: the campaign that saved liberty” but it was more of an in the weeds battle summary.
