  1. It's likely a throwback to the days when Pepsodent was a powder. And what the fuck are you doing in my bathroom?
  2. I wonder if LaRussa is cool with this.
  3. Complete opposite of TOOTBLAN.
  4. Motherfucker! I told you all of this a couple of years ago. Why can't you remember shit? Are you stupid or something?
  5. I'll be goddamned if that isn't the longest gif I ever watched. I don't know why it wasn't cropped to a couple of minutes.
  6. Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions. I don't know where they will end up but wherever it will be a nice step up from what they had been thinking. Thanks again
  7. It's a long story but the short part is that Patty lost her mother to covid 30 days ago.
  8. Well, "Woman Hollering Creek", of course.
  9. The kids will be with them so driving isn't an issue but this looks good. Thanks
  10. My Son-in-law's parents will have their 50th Anniversary Saturday. They live in Keller. They are planning to go to Outback to celebrate. He would like to get some suggestions from Surly so that he can take them someplace better. Help me help him. As my daughter told me, "Patty deserves to go someplace where Dan has to put on long pants at the very least". $100/person is not too much.
  11. But... was he shooting lefty?
  12. Before anybody actually travels to KC, God forbid, to see these airliners and such let me correct something. This is NOT the TWA Museum, it is the Airline History Museum. Separate organizations within 1/4 mile of each other. https://www.airlinehistory.org/
  13. This is fucking beautiful.
  14. Scofflaws!! A pox on the lot of you!
  15. Dammit. We had a low cloud bank that obscured it here.
  16. The Wu in Wulaw stands for Washburn University, doesn't it. Whether it does or doesn't, that how I always see it.
  17. Can anybody explain to me how the PTBNL works? Boston is still waiting for 2 players from the Royals for the Benintendi trade. Would they normally have been offered a fixed list or does that the pool of players change as the roster churns? I haven't paid much attention to these things but it seems like the trades are usually finalized before this much time has passed.
  18. A few more pictures from inside the Connie. These are the rear First Class seats with the sleeper berths. I was standing by the bathroom door when I took these but I should have taken a picture of the johns. They had a His and Hers, unlike the one-size-fits-all approach of modern airliners. There isn't any overhead stow space but there was a lot of room underneath the seats.
  19. CSB, the folks that you see climbing the steps to get in the Connie were there with their two boys. They were in line to get in and the creditcard reader ways having troubles. The staff was taking cash only and they didn't have enough. They were going to leave to get cash but my wife took some money out of her purse and paid for them. The kids followed us around the rest of their time there like we were grandparents. Hope we built up a little karma.
  20. I went to the TWA Museum in KC Saturday. They have a DC-3 and a Constellation that are both operational but both are currently grounded due to a lack of funds for some required maintenance and inspection. It is in a small hangar at the old Downtown Airport and stuff is really crammed in there. It made it tough to get any full shots of the display. For @Armybrat The last three pics are the last surviving Northrop Delta, a De Havilland Dove and a Martin 404.
  21. We postponed that because of the rain. We spent extra time in KC doing some small museums including a TWA museum. They have a restored Connie and a DC-3 that is waiting on engines. I'll post some pictures in the airplane thread when I get a chance. I know you're a fan of those planes.
  22. My weasel lore is weak. Does twice count?
  23. Yesterday was our 48th anniversary. Mrs themonkey and I are leaving for KC in a little bit to take in the KC/Det ballgame tomorrow evening. Going to spend a couple days afterwards at Lake of the Ozarks. Might rut like weasels but probably won't. You never know.
  24. While it may not be a museum by the strictest definition, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is is one of the best "living museums" I have been in.
  25. The MIT Museum, Cambridge, MA, Has lots of cool egghead stuff. The kinetic sculpture display was a particular favorite.
