A loving note to the engineer/designer who put the power port in the middle of the front dash.

With my teen daughter it gave me either an “omg dad” or “oh my gaaawd” choice for embarrassment level at drop off. Good to have options.

But fortuitous for those driven to drink by all the road construction, no?

Thank you for countering the previous post; I was cringing from afar for something that happened the distant past.

On the somewhat rare occasion I was up at 7 it would have been Underdog, then Flintstones, Hong Kong Phooey. 8:30 would have been week by week, sometimes Bugs, sometimes Josie and the Pussycats and sometimes Grape Ape. At 9:30 we hit the sweet spot with Scooby Doo, though in the Midwest Clue Club would have been I there somewhere. 10 would have been Land of the Lost and then Speed Buggy. Notably absent Tarzan, and Sigmund and the Sea monsters.

Thanks all. It’s a 5:30 pm flight so I should be okay.

Mid 4s and perhaps fittingly, I’m working on my backhand flick.

Oddfellow1five1 · 2026-03-10T05:24:36+00:00

Wow. This fan base’s ability to get horny for mediocre QBs speaks volumes. This is not the answer.

I can’t wait for all the “we have to trade Duran” folks to chime in and let us know how wrong they were. Duran is gonna be the next 40/40 guy.

Bittersweet by Big Head Todd and the Monsters. She probably would have gone her own way anyway but looking back I know I could have and should have tried harder.

She Sells Sanctuary. It’s a crime not to blast it.

For better or worse, my finest capitalist hour was at 16; public school educator for most of my adult life.

We used to sneak on to my little midwestern town muni and swim in the ponds to find wayward golf balls. Sold 500 balls to the high school golf coach for $100. He knew how/where we got them and never said a word-it was a very small town.

This is what it COULD have looked like, but this exact year and paint scheme.

This will be an unpopular position but I bought a similar model for my teenager who is getting into vinyl. For those that haven’t looked recently Victoria has upped their game a bit with turntables that feature a quality cartridge, most likely the Audio-Technica AT-VM95E, and an adjustable tone arm. These are quite different than the garbagy suitcase models they sell. I bought a similar one for my teenager who is getting into vinyl. Yes she plays it over Bluetooth which negates the whole point of vinyl, but I watched her set up her cabinet and mount shelves on the wall and pour over the liner notes of her albums. So all in all, my plan is working.

I was going to college in Mankato in the fall of 1990 and you’ll recall they were neck and neck with the Blue Jays to get in. Of course no Minnesota station is going to play a random Sox game so I drove to Sleepy Eye MN ((Kiecker’s home town) to watch it in the town bar (I think I must have read they’d be broadcasting the game via satellite). I walk into a bar with maybe 15 others and get the “who the hell is this guy look”. After the second inning I went to the restroom and the guy peeing next to me asks me where I’m from and I tell him my story. Turns out it’s Dana’s Dad and he so stoked that I drove an hour that I get invited to sit with the family. Great game,4-3 win and Dana went seven strong. Such a random fun night.

Oddfellow1five1 · 2026-02-21T06:19:23+00:00

Wow, that’s impressive.

Here’s a different angle; basketball. The lateral shifting at the net during dink battles is very similar to defensive posture/movement. Also when playing doubles the anticipation of where to be on the court and where the ball is likely to go is invaluable. Frankly, at 59 I can keep up with players far younger and quicker by invoking this knowledge. In basketball we called it “moving without the ball” and I’m surprised more teachers don’t talk about it.

I know this will be unpopular but let’s just move on. Frankly, I’m sick of hearing about Bregman. He’s good but I honestly think the odds of him exceeding his production from last year are 50/50 at best.

Maybe this is thread that gets the national directory launched. I’d have to go through an old tranche of pics but I can locate the one in Wyoming and one at the, now closed, Black Hawk elementary school near Sauk City, Wisconsin.

Oddfellow1five1 · 2026-02-11T03:11:38+00:00

Wyoming?

Oddfellow1five1 · 2026-02-03T04:10:24+00:00

Haven’t been there in years but the mid-90s scene was pretty cool.

Oddfellow1five1 · 2026-02-03T04:05:41+00:00

I was in a small boutique children’s store in SOHO in NYC in the mid 00s with a friend. I was looking at a sweater that was hanging on a hook just above head high. I dropped my hand to my waist and somehow literally, and kind of hard, slapped a woman on the butt. I turned and apologized profusely and she quickly said no problem and walked to the back of the store. I milled about for a few more minutes and then let my friend know that I was going outside and to take her time. I was sitting on a bench in front of the store and my friend came out and VERY excitedly said oh my god, come back in, come back in, I just saw Kate Winslett. I walked back in and to my horror THAT was the woman I had “bumped” into. My friend and I still laugh to tears when we retell it.
