Cheers to the guy who started this little shindig. You realize how many people passed through here over the years? Thanks for starting something good. Best wishes on your special day.

You wasted your breath. All episodes are on Hulu.

Actually this thread does have some merit. I was suffering from insomnia. I started reading this thread, and three lines in, fell asleep like THAT! 8)

Just after midnight on New Year’s Eve as 1984 began, MTV premiered “Jump” and Van Halen became THE band. They were already big, but this moment put them in the stratosphere. Overnight, every kid in high school wanted to form a band and play like Eddie or sing like Dave. (Just hinting you played...

You now the least expensive meat in the world? Deer balls. They’re under a buck! 8)

The Peanuts strips were always good. They were slightly edgy for their time. But the character’s personalities really came into bloom with the specials and movies. Nothing will ever top”A Charlie Brown Christmas”, although the little-seen “He’s Your Dog, Charlie Brown” was a wonderful showcase...

I’ll go to Ireland with you. My roots are there too. Way up north in County Donegal.

You’ve got to reach 30 before you can even think about getting old. You still have your whole life in front of you. If it helps, I’m 52, and I do NOT feel old.

This used to be me. When I worked at Toys R Us, my normal shift was 3-11, and I’d often stay later and pick up overtime. I liked working nights. Come home and sleep while the rest of the world is scurrying around. I’m still a night owl to some degree. Bedtime is usually midnight, and wake up...

One last word on pizza from a few pages back. The national chains are okay at best. They all had their ups and downs. Many seemed to be better in the past. Out of the chains around here, here’s how I would rank them: 1 Pizzeria Uno 2. Dominos 3. Papa John’s 4. Pizza Hut 5. Little Caesar’s...

Exactly. A religion teacher teaches there are many different faiths, maybe teach how Christianity sprang from Judaism, how the Bible formed from influences of Roman, Greek, and Hebrew cultures, No different than a Philosophy professor teaching about different thinkers, from the ancient Greeks...

Life isn’t about getting through the storm. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

There have been a couple accidents in the past, but usually because of high winds. Even if a balloon does get damaged, nobody has ever got hurt. I don’t like balloons popping either. That used to be my big fear when I was little. But those parade balloons have multiple chambers, so if one...

When you understand why a round pizza comes in a square box and you eat it in triangles... you’ll understand women.

On this day in 2000, my wife Sharon said “I do” and we were hitched. She’s been by my side through several moves, job changes, more times in the hospital than I can count, three car accidents, and a hurricane or two. But we also had some wonderful trips to Nashville, Niagara Falls, Disney...

What goes around comes around. Eventually. There was a thing a few years back of some clique of high school girls ignoring a new girl in the cafeteria. Then some time later the leader of the clique got ignored by the others. Sucks to be you. I had a similar experience ten years or so ago. I...

Well said. If you’re a little kid, and you break something, and your parents ask “Who broke that?” It is best to fess up. But kids being kids, they’ll still try and shift the blame. It’s easier to do if you have siblings. If you’re an only child, the dog can only rake the fall for you do many...

My favorite “new” kind of pizza (it’s been around for at least 15 years) is chicken bacon ranch. Or one that has no tomato sauce at all, just broccoli, provolone, and olive oil. I’m not as adventurous with Mac and cheese, but grilled chicken works. Pizza is like a blank canvas to paint your...
