  1. Was going to say that the coin on that is going to be huge. Any idea if it left the factory as triple black..
  2. Looked up 76 relay team because of his age. Knew the lead off runner was 19 but the third runner was also around 20. USA won the gold with three of the four runners barely out of high school.
  3. yeah I still remember one class my final quarter at AU in Chemical Eng. Without a curve no one would have graduated. First test was 140 points(yep - not 100 for some reason). Class average was 17 ( that is seventeen out of 140). Glad to have made around 30. Without a curve they would have flunked every senior.
  4. Loved his comment about the golf course he grew up on - Goat Hills. When they razed the course for future development he said the bulldozers proved you could take a divot there. All of his books were fun to read.
  5. Crap - was trying to post the exaxt same thing. The youtube link would not imbed for some reason
  6. I didn't do this but some people learned that you could redo the big Graddick billboards. Apparently if you cut out the first D and turned it over the color came thru so you could put it back on the sign as a B. Others replaced the G with an H and reversed the A and R. Almost drove into a tree laughing when I first saw that sign.
  7. As long as the PTB don't try to remove them from the voting rolls
  8. 1986 was an incredible year for politics in Alabama. Learned that just because you win the primary doesn;t mean you will be on the ballot.
  9. You could pretty much bet that either Rockford or his car or both was going to get the crap knocked out of them every show
  10. No one has mentioned Saturday Night Live?????? Or Monday Night Football??? And the fact that there were really only three channels - ABC, NBC and ABC to produce all this. Also Fantasy Island provided a nice place for actors to land if a series was cancelled.
  11. Have to add Columbo to make it correct. Four series and each was shown once a month
  12. Let's toss Rosemary under the bus for that one. The interesting part is that several people confirmed that Nixon was so uncoordinated that they felt he could not have figured out how to do this. IIRC the taping system was way more complicated that the reel to reel device you saw at the opening of Mission Impossible.
  13. The crony was Alexander Butterfield and he did not let it slip, he was asked the question by the investigating committee and answered it correctly. And I am pretty sure all the committee members did a double take when he said that. The game was changed dramatically
  14. I like the idea of outlets every five feet. You can't have enough. If I ever get to build my own garage it will also have some 220 volt electric heaters and lots of insulation. Spent two much time working on cars in cold garages.
  15. Did the rock/front wheel endo on hill of life. Unfortunately I landed groin first on a pointed rock and off the ER. Had some real interesting bruises on parts of anatomy for a few days. (luckily no pics)
  16. We had this discussion a few years ago on the old forum. I did post it and they had mixed opinions on that trigger. All I can say is that it has been in the family since the 40's and was probably last fired in the 50's. I know I never heard of Dad firing it. I was going to get it worked on but never got to it yet
  17. Ha - found out I could host my pictures on the domain I bought for email
  18. testing - found I could host on my domain
  19. Mine was early 1900's. sorry about photobucket but after reading the forums items I have no idea where to move photos to. Other sites seems to work and then not work
  20. Wasn't going to mention it but I do remember the KA's at Auburn having the Old South parade thru town. And NO it was not only at Auburn. Pretty sure every southern campus had it. Know Alabama banned it a few years ago
  21. I know a couple of fraternity brothers of mine that better not run for office - especially on any anti drug platform
  22. The Atlas was not "squat" which complicates the search. Two links - 50's and 60's. Maybe the Convair Atlas in 50's. If my Dad was still around I bet he knew that one since he worked there until moving to NASA in early 60's https://fantastic-plastic.com/1950s_concept_spacecraft.htm http://fantastic-plastic.com/1960s---spacecraft--missiles.html
  23. I like the way you sum it up
  24. Took a quick look at ebay and there are multiples out there
  25. Just an awesome movie. It would be real difficult to get that many of today's comedians in one movie. Plus Spencer Tracy.
