  1. Get a snake, bring it home to the wife, and then have her watch while you feed it a kitten. That'll get her on the snakes' side. Then turn the snake loose to take care of the mice while flashing your wife a knowing leer and sing a line or two of "Crawlin' King Snake (lyrics here: http://www.justsomelyrics.com/1785773/Muddy-Waters-Crawlin%27-kingsnake-Lyrics should they be needed) Win-win. Always go for the win-win.
  2. Guess who?
  3. As I get older, I taste the salt more and like it less. On anything/everything. Go figure.
  4. I hope they made it just a tad less salty.
  5. "But Beautiful"?
  6. Looks pretty damn coherent to me. Congrats!
  7. How old of a man is he now? (and please, nobody say young at heart, wise in time...)
  8. I don't know 'bout all that, but I do know happy food when I see it!
  9. The bread is smiling at itself for being so damn good. I love it when that happens!
  10. It was Grant.
  11. That's him!
  12. Anybody remember this guy?
  13. True, but before the Giants & Dodgers moved west, the Cards were as southern or as western as the major leagues went. That's more than half the 20th century , albeit the slow half.
  14. I'm old enough to very well remember catching Caray w/Jack Buck on KMOX on nights when there were either no Astros games or else the Cardxs were on the coast and the Astros weren't. In fact, the first team I tinstinctively think of when I hear his name is the Cardinals. But then again, I'm old... The thing a lot of people forget is that for a looooong time, the Cardinals were as close to a "Southern" team as there was, and even after the Braves came to Atlanta, the Astros to Houston, and the Senators/Rangers to Arlington, it took a while for any "regional identity" for those teams to "take" among fans. Well into the 1960s, I'd find older folks in Texas who didn't give a flip about the Astros, but they still followed the Cardinals. Truth be told, I still have a gut liking for them, based on the youthful imprinting of Bob Gibson (to this day, still my ideal pitcher, a total badass!), Lou Brock, Tim McCarver, Ken Boyer, Curt Flood, that whole crew. Quite the team, and KMOX came in just as well as anything after the sun went down...
  15. This is about as fast as you can get w/o warping into Sunny Murray Land:
  16. No, that's correct! Walter Lantz was featured often enough in the Woody Woodpecker TV shows that a lot of us saw back in the day that I figured that somebody would remember. Guess not!
  17. heh-heh-heh-HEH-heh
  18. The Seeds The Planter's Wife King Harvest
  19. One more Harry Kallas/Astros clip, this one the first Astros' hit in the Astrodome, a triple against Mel Stottlemeyer, in an exhibition game against the Yankees on 4-09-65. Roger Maris gets mentioned, too! http://www.astrosdai...dio/65Brand.mp3
  20. Why I Love Adrian Beltre (courtesy of a LSB poster)
  21. It's from eating so much chicken. I'm a living (for the time being) witness.
  22. It was called "The Pavillion", remember? $1.50 for adults, 50 cents for kids. The first year the dome was open, the old man would take us in once a month after church & that was where we sat.Hell, I didn't know about cheap seats or sight lines or any of that. All I knew was that it was pro baseball and I was in the seats at the game. 50 cents to see a major league game, and to have Willie Mays right in front of you. Hell yeah.
  23. heh-heh-heh-HEH-heh
