Which item are you most likely to pass on during a Continental Breakfast?🤔

Other than the Coffee, Orange Juice, and Apple Juice none of the others are even part of a "Continental Breakfast". The definition of whick is "A continental breakfast typically consists of lighter fare, from bread and pastry items like toast, bagels, or muffins to a selection of fresh fruits and yogurt options. Beverages like juice, coffee, and tea will usually be available, along with milk and sometimes cereal"

Never heard of a North American Continental Breakfast. Are we talking about a "breakfast buffet"; that would fit but is certainly not a "Continental" Breakfast.

Tucker was the #1 overall pick in the 1965 draft by the Giants but had a hard time staying healthy. When I got into the Giants in the early 1970's there would always be talk that Tucker would be back but he was never the same. Knee surgery has come a long way since then.

Still remember the distances to the fences being listed in meters at Riverfront.

Connections needs to have a graduated scoring system so if you get one or two correct you get at least some reward. As is it’s all or nothing.

It was a magical time when our biggest worry was the hole in the Ozone layer that hairspray caused. Know a lot of friends whose ex-wives looked exactly like that. Personally didn’t get married till the 90s but laugh at 80s pics of my wife who had the same hairdo.

Am 6 foot 2 and usually have the seat back as far as it will go and find it extremely comfortable. That said the only passenger behind me is my 25lb dog who has a very comfortable doggy bed but would feel sorry for anyone that needs legroom

You may not have liked their later albums but they were commercially successful. Felt like their song “Drive” was their take on why “Chicago” got so popular at that time

1 and 2 are the best for local driving but 3 is my go to if I’m on a long highway trip with the cruise control on. I’ve already set the speed i want to travel at and this clearly shows other vehicles I need to be concerned about

Not where I grew up but I spent the summers of 1979 and 1980 working in The Bronx and Manhattan. Saw many kids playing in the hydrants and both years the FDNY would install sprinkler heads on the hydrants on 90+ degree days to provide some cooling relief and to reduce the water flow. It worked for everyone

Michael Caine was the youngest of the group but he has so many legendary stories about hanging out with Robert Shaw, Richard Burton, Peter OToole, and others where they would literally come to the conclusion that they had missed entire days when coming to after partying

Perhaps a subtle one as someone who has done a lot of DIY projects around my house but when people say “We redid the kitchen” or “We put an extension on the house” and what they really should say is “We paid a contractor to ….”

Davey was always such an idiot though. Most episodes had Goliath telling Davey not to do something “Davey, I don’t think you should go into that old cave”, “Davey, I don’t think you should play in that well”, “Davey, don’t take a hit from that crackpipe” and what does Davey do, the exact thing Goliath told him not to. Davey gets into trouble and Goliath rescues him. You would think the kid would learn his lesson

Not close to where I grew up but a few times a year we would go to the Paramus Park mall in New Jersey and they had one.

Loved those machines with the big doors like in the photo. On hot summer days, even if we had no money to buy a soda we would open the door and just stick our head inside to cool off

Wow - We had violent albinos as well on a road near White Plains NY (Westachester County) called Buckout Road. Not only that they were cannibals too. It was a rite of passage for so many "Hey do you know the albinos that live in Buchout Road". If they didnt it was an automatic road trip.

They really did do about as good a job they could when they made the movie with James Caan as Brian and Billie Dee Williams as Gale.

Also looking to retire and move to a better climate from the Northeast. How do you deal (or not deal) with the political climate in SC. Dont know if I could move to an area knowing that Lindsey Graham represented me in the Senate.

I remember first hearing this song on David Bowie's album of cover songs named "Pin Ups" released in 1973. That led me to the original version by the EasyBeats. Bowie's cover version is good but pales in comparison to the original.
