Big Blue Huddle

A young Chinese couple gets married. She's a virgin. Truth be told, he is
a virgin too, but she doesn't know that.

On their wedding night, she cowers naked under the sheets as her husband
undresses in the darkness.

He climbs into bed next to her and tries to be reassuring. 'My darring,'
he whispers, 'I know dis you firss time and you berry flighten. I promise
you, I give you anyting you want, I do anyting - juss anyting you want.
You juss ask. Whatchu want?' he says, trying to sound experienced and
worldly, which he hopes will impress her.

A thoughtful silence follows and he waits patiently (and eagerly) for her
request.

She eventually shyly whispers back, 'I want to try someting I have hear
about from odda girls... Numbaa 69.'

More thoughtful silence, this time from him. Eventually, in a puzzled
tone he asks her....

'You want...... Garlic Chicken wif snow peas?

 Not that being old enough to remember some of these people is great, but the times we lived thru, first with Elvis and then the Beatles, to put it simply, there will never be anything like that ever again. Swift has her millions and millions of fans, but the craziness that surrounded, first Elvis, and then the maniacal fans towards the Beatles. There was nothing, and will ever be anything, to compare with that --- EVER.

That is not to say, as the thread asked, who was bigger in their time, but again, the Beatles are still big today, over 60 years later.

I'll make this short and sweet

I HATE cats. PERIOD.

No particular reason, so leave it at that.

Not to change the meaning of this topic, but some of the great 'quotes' and other meanings remind me of things.

As we get older, especially myself, there are times when I just sit back and try and recall the decisions of my life, good or bad, and think how things might have been different if I did something a different way.
You know, shoulda, woulda, and coulda.
But what I do try to do and have tried this my entire life. is no matter how stupid or messed up I might have acted or did, to keep doing that same thing is just ridiculous. As we say, we need to learn from our mistakes and hopefully improve on them. I have tried to live by this. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes, either stupidity, or just plain stubbornness has prevented me from doing this, but over the years, I have learned and I'll be damned if I do those same stupid things again.

I'm not doubting you but the way I see it, the Pats need a QB in the worst way.

a few 'new' ones

Hey Rich, glad you can join us over here. We are just a small percentage of who posts on the main board, but we are a great group who share many things that just don't go on the other boards.

Nice post.

Some of my favorite words of wisdom

We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing. George Bernard Shaw

Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it. Albert Einstein


And, I'm not sure who said these, but I have always tried to follow them

It's better to do nothing than to work on something that doesn't matter.
It's better to rest than to climb the wrong mountain.
Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end

 I get these lists also, 10 food items that will likely kill you and I eat maybe 6 of them. Boo, I'm done.

But the next day I get another list, 10 items that will make you live 10 years longer and I eat maybe 6 of those, so they balance each other out and I'm going to enjoy myself while I'm here. I am NOT giving up my wife world famous (at least to me) cheesecake, and certainly, I will always enjoy my Cold Stone Ice Cream. At least I'll go happy.

Quote from: Rosehill Jimmy on April 16, 2024, 08:44:15 PMActually I think Gifford complaint was refs denied him a first down with a bad spot.  It was a third down run on which Gino Marchetti broke his leg on the tackle and Gifford believed the commotion on the field led to refs marking him short. So instead of a first down, NYG punted the ball back to Colts with a little over 2 minutes to. Unitas leads them to a tying FG with seconds left in regulation and the rest is history

You are correct Jimmy. I remember Gifford always said there was a bad spot, and as you said, I got it a bit backward.

I think this was the first time ever I got all of them without a miss.       

They should do it without the commercials.

I do have Paramount+ and we watched the end of that. Gosh, it was only about another 3-4 minutes.

They really must have butchered this concert up also. Running time is about 90 minutes and 30 minutes of commercials. I have been to one of Billy Joel's concerts and believe me, he sings for a good solid 2 hours, all the time. They eliminated so many of his hit songs just to fit into this time slot and they still screwed it up.

 Lets hope for the best Squib and keep us in the know. I'm sure it will help, it has to.     

 I know it is a hundred years later but we were jobbed in that game. Gifford swore, till his dying day, that they gave the Colts a 1st down when they never should have and it kept the drive alive.

Just another, woulda, shoulda, couldda.

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on April 15, 2024, 01:57:20 PMApart from the low points: Cuban missile crisis, the Bay of Pigs, the assassination of our President, Martin Luther King Jr., Sen. Robert Kennedy, and Malcolm X, the hippie revolution, rampant drug use (three main musicians died at 27 yrs old - Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison), the Vietnam War and tens of thousands of deaths of our soldiers, the magnitude of protestors burning buildings and creating havoc, kids on college campus getting mowed down by the National Guard, Charles Manson and his horrifying murders, there were some high points

Yankees were in 5 world series during the 60s 
Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's record in '61
Man flew to the moon, walked on it, flew home
And yes, the Miracle Mets had a year to remember (I doubt Billy Buckner sees it the same way) 

The 60's were a decade like no other in U.S. history

Ric

Those Mets were in the 80s if memory serves. The 69 Mets beat the much-favored Orioles.  Sorry.

From what I hear CBS has apologized (big deal) and is reshowing it on Friday.
