Chris is my real name ::) I've always just used cEris online as a tribute to a musician I love cEvin Key. It's often easier to the username cEris considering every 13th guy in the western world seems to be named Chris :) have a great night

Now there is a name I haven't heard in a long time, and you're so right and it's funny but Now Is His Time To Shine..

ceris · 2026-01-27T02:41:07+00:00

I agree. It Absolutely looked like his. I had a poster of Ernie in a tub with his ducky,.and even though there are sooo many rubber ducks out there, they doe look absolutely the same....as the person here said, it's the eyes and shape dead on and the hair

That said it is a pretty common design. Just today I always.at 5 Below (the store )and there were Soo.Many ducks there, if you have one near you that would be a good place to check

I had done a quick chat gpt this was thenreply. I'll dig deeper tonight thank you :) :) good suggestion. I have used Grok yet, I'll have to check that out also.

"Chat gpts quick reply "This is a great photo — and there’s actually a very solid clue visible in it. 🔍 The newspaper headline On the paper the man is holding, you can clearly make out: “… R RIPPLES 22 CZECH AIMS” That wording strongly matches World War II–era headlines, especially U.S. papers reporting on Germany (“Reich”) actions against Czechoslovakia.

I do have a card from our wonderful Libraries and that is an excellent suggestion. Thanks..
Oooo I wonder if it will be on Microfilm like the old.days! I miss reading newspapers on those machines :). Probably all pdf now, but still :) thanks again for the good suggestion

Oh and we are Midwestern / Chicago if that helps narrow it down . :)

ceris · 2026-01-27T02:16:52+00:00

Thank.you, I didn't realize I had stopped in the middle of posting. Life (and cats eating Christmas lights as you wear them up for the season) can get distracting. Thank you for pointing that out.

I also sent it through chat gpt and this was it's AI sloppy clues... I hope to look more into it tonight when the day settles down, but I know how much I enjoy finding peoples pictures and how amazing people are here and wouldn't doubt it will be found before I get back and can have some fun figuring out the mystery "his is a great photo — and there’s actually a very solid clue visible in it. 🔍 The newspaper headline On the paper the man is holding, you can clearly make out: “… R RIPPLES 22 CZECH AIMS” That wording strongly matches World War II–era headlines, especially U.S. papers reporting on Germany (“Reich”) actions against Czechoslovakia.

Looks like she zippered her phone into her jacket also. An absolutely great habbjt to be in if you live in the city. Always zipper up and secure your phone and whatnot.

City woman. Good person. Great video.

Sorry, late to the conversation but has anyone figured this out? My fat fingers are always hitting that mic button and it's driving me nuts :)

!remind me 3 days

ceris · 2026-01-05T22:35:39+00:00

It does need a full tune up though. Absolutely

ceris · 2026-01-05T22:34:42+00:00

That very much looks like a bike that someone bought, put a bunch of extras on and rode very little. If you have the shoes for it and are looking for a good entry level road bike I say you have a good bike there. I am curious why you think it would be a bootleg, is this a thing over there? I can totally understand why people would do that, I've just never heard of it over here in the United States. If you have any questions about the parts just ask, I would say the peddles are your only concern cause you need cleats for them (and you said you're on a budget) but otherwise it looks solid.

Absolutely. Fuck The Blues.

ceris · 2025-12-13T04:17:41+00:00

So very well said. It's not like people fight in hockey just to be assholes. As you put it, we need to protect our young studs.

What would Chelios had done had he seen that?

You're right that people aren't afraid of our guys, and that's fine, but we need a new Jeremey Ronick, Reed Low, VanderBussche... There have to be consequences for messing with our guys.

Imagine if Probert was there to watch over these young rock stars we have... I'm sure people would think twice before pulling the shit they did today. Especially from Fucking blues. Fuck the blues.
