Damn.

I still like my oatmeal lumpy. As for getting busy in a Burger King bathroom, these days it just means I had lunch at Taco Bell.

And here is regarding that dad in that clip:

Kevin Joseph Aloysius "Chuck" Connors (April 10, 1921 November 10, 1992) was an American actor, writer, and professional basketball and baseball player. He is one of only 13 athletes in the history of American professional sports to have played both Major League Baseball (Brooklyn Dodgers 1949, Chicago Cubs, 1951) and in the National Basketball Association (Boston Celtics 194748). With a 40-year film and television career, he is best known for his five-year role as Lucas McCain in the highly rated ABC series The Rifleman (1958-63).

Tells you something about the quality of the nba in those days, "Gee, I think I'll try a little of this", not to mention the MLB , "or a little of that".... "no, I think acting is where my real talent lies!"

If a guy today tried dabbling, he wouldn't sniff the G league.
I imagine Tim Tebow could have been an all-star forward in 1947!

All but one man died,
There at Bitter Creek,
And they say he ran away ...

Branded!
Marked with a coward's shame.
What do you do when you're branded,
Will you fight for your name?

He was innocent,
Not a charge was true,
But the world will never know ...

Branded!
Scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded,
And you know you're a man?


And wherever you go
for the rest of your life
You must prove ...
You're a man!

Never knew of the show.
I'm about 13 years younger than you.

So, let's hear the little boy potty lyrics...

Trump probably won't either. "I have a dog?" Possibly "Don't refer to Melania that way!"

Melania cried twice as hard when Bo died as she will when the Orange tub of guts seizes up on the 18th green after swatting away a 40 foot gimme and drops dead in his tracks like a diseased elephant.

In 2002, she clown stomped her husband, Chuck Finley, so bad that he missed his pitching start with the Cleveland Indians. You kind of have to respect a woman that can apply a beating to a pro athlete like that.



* Kitaen had an affair with O.J. Simpson while he was married to Nicole Brown Simpson. Wikipedia. Hey, at least she lived to tell that tale.....but had he tried anything she would have kicked his arse as well.

A co-worker was married to Julie's mother. I attended her mother's funeral, Julie was there. Her step father had several Julie stories, she convinced him that OJ was innocent; evidently Finley had a nick name, white snake. A lot of stories about Julie (Tawny) were circular; when you got back to start, the story stayed the same but the names kept changing. There was more than one ex-USC football star in her life. Her mother died of lung cancer, even though she never smoked; my friend told me at the time I was lucky, my wife was still attractive, five years later my wife also died of COPD and lung cancer, at an even younger age. Oh and my wife's daughter's name is Julie. The carousel is starting again...

I knew him a little bit. Fantastic person and the world is a better place for him having been in it. Sad to hear he passed away.

*I saw Lee Evans and his SJS Speed City teammates, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, compete a couple of times at Edwards in the late 60's. He was a wonder.

I saw him run at Edwards in, I think, 1972. Might have been the Kennedy Games? There's an article on the MercNews site with a photo of him wearing a Bay Area Striders that looks like it was possibly taken at that event. Those meets at Edwards were sure fun! I'll think about that rather than the sadness of yet another great athlete from our past dying way too soon.

Yes, the Kennedy Games were a good time. Think I went to a couple of them. I do remember being there in 1974 for the big attraction which was Ivory Crockett running the 100M race. IIRC, Donald Quarrie beat both him and another 100M heavyweight (I don't recall the name).

In May, 1969, the National Guard occupied Berkeley. The Kennedy Games went forward and my dad and I were there.
