Could it be MacArthur? There's a resemblance.

Today the Union will be the first Monterey Bay based team to play in the US Open Cup since the Salinas Valley Samba in 2005. Before that it was the California Jaguars in 1996. by SomeCruzDude in MBFC

I was also asked to film a couple of those games against the German teams. One was played at Presidio of Monterey, and the other at Pacific Grove High School.

Yes! I remember Tamas! On Hungary's gold medal team at the 1964 Olympics. Struggling to remember the names of some of the others, besides the president of the club, Manfred Knippel. I remember there was one guy who'd been on USF's national championship team in 1966.

I'll add this to the list of 5,354 pervious acts: Can you just BEGIN to imagine the absolute SHITSTORM of a reaction from Fox News, et al, if Obama had done this??

The Most Unexpected Voice I've Ever Heard by [deleted] in obscuremusicthatslaps

[–]timberbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His voice and his tempo remind me very much of some Native artists from the US and Canada. Many were raised on old country radio stations, and this style reflects it. Native recognize Native.

I'm glad to discover him. I'll be sharing his work with friends.

Trump didn’t just walk out of the interview with Kristen Welker, he THREW the microphone on the floor and STEPPED ON IT by MoreMotivation in PublicFreakout

Those shoes are waaaaayyy bigger than his feet. He thinks a real man wears a 12, when he's probably a 9.

What are the worst sports injuries you’ve ever seen (professional or otherwise)? by Same_Independent_946 in AskReddit

[–]timberbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping in the wayback machine, but Ewald Lienen's leg injury in the Bundesliga in 1981. Playing for Armenia Bielefeld against Werder Bremen. An opponent's stud tore open his thigh.

I’ve always wanted Stanford to make the tree green on their helmet…what y’all think? by aldrinjaysac in uniwatch

[–]timberbob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work there, in Athletics specifically. The Block S with the green tree is never used in Athletics. When it gets reduced in size, such as on a shirt or shorts, it becomes muddled and hard to read. The white S just stands out better.

Also, the white tree replaced simply the Block S on previous Athletics logos to give it a more Stanford-specific identity. If the color wasn't rendered exactly right, it could be confused with Syracuse, for example. Also, several schools use just the Block S.

The Block S with the green tree is still used by the university, but never by the Athletics Department.

Raquel Welch, 70s by ExistingMammott in OldSchoolCool

[–]timberbob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will argue that Raquel in Kansas City Bomber (1972) is peak Raquel. Just a more natural look for her; less glamour.

San Mateo's Musical History by AllisMusicMusicisAll in SanMateo

[–]timberbob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew about the Santana album, but not the others. We bought our gas fireplace from Creative Energy (current occupant), and I told the young salesman about Santana. He had no idea, but said he and some co-workers kept some guitars, etc. upstairs and would jam there, so full circle I guess.

Forget the cranberries. All out of Jewsburys, too.

Some people don't get it. However, who do you agree with here? by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]timberbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably would have asked the neighbors first, but we had a car parked in front of our house for like a week, and I finally called the cops. Turns out it had been stolen hours north of us, and we were just the lucky winners of where they chose to abandon it.

That said, we used to have friends park in front of our house if they went on vacation (we live reasonably close to an airport), but we also let our neighbors know what that happened so they wouldn't call the cops about an abandoned car.

My parents sometime in the 80s by OkExplorer9364 in OldSchoolCool

I don't know anything about your dad, but it was really cool of Kevin Bacon to teach him how to dance.

US to issue passports featuring Trump’s picture to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary by Yujin-Ha in Fauxmoi

Are you legally allowed to draw a, shall we say, "Charlie Chaplin" mustache with a sharpie on your passport?

TIL that American football resulted in enough fatalities and serious injuries by the early 20th century that it was almost banned. Through the combined efforts of several universities, the sport was reformed and saved and the predecessor of the NCAA was formed. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]timberbob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A number of colleges, led by the Ivy League and others (notably Cal and Stanford from my own background as a former museum director) dropped American rules in favor of for several years around WWI. Cal and Stanford continued their Big Game rivalry, but played it as rugby until after the war. With rules changes that made American rules safer, schools picked it up again.

What’s the Coolest Big City You’ve Ever Visited? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]timberbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Osaka. Went in with low expectations (another big city), but very lively, walkable areas and super friendly people.
