  1. Only WWII movie I can remember that had Peck in it was "12 O'clock High" but I have no idea who was in the supporting cast...Much less if any of them went to Wabash College...
  2. And none of them starred Gregory Peck... Just playing the percentages on the first guess...
  3. I always guess Brennen first because I think he won 3 of the damned things...
  4. I feel like Chief Brody looking at his appendix scar in "Jaws" during the USS Indianapolis scene...
  5. Did you play in the youth leagues in Indianapolis?
  6. Thanks...she was a bit of a lost soul...Very rebellious when she was young. We had an adversarial relationship that lasted into middle age (mostly dealing with her lack of responsibility and parenting...basically making our parents raise her 3 kids...) but we had reconciled at about 50 or so...She had been a CPA for Columbia House Records, but was made to retire because she was declared legally blind, got screwed on her 401k, and was living alone in Terre Haute on about 2K a month social security disability...her kids lived there too, but they didn't give her much time... Her nurse called me about a month before she passed away and asked me if I was aware of how she was going through 2 weeks worth of morphine in 4 days, and that the Dr just kept writing refills...I had noticed that my sister would call me a lot, and tell me some wild tales about people tapping her phone and whatnot, but, to be honest, I probably should have been more engaged... One of those see/hear something, do something lessons in life...
  7. Hats off to you, brother...Glad you've persevered... I'll second the knee replacement thought...not from personal experience but close...My sister (15 months older than me) had it back in 2016...They prescribed her morphine for the pain, and she never go off of it...She was abusing it toward the end...Took her in her sleep 3 years ago January 3rd (they think she passed on New Years morning but they didn't find her til the 3rd)...Accidental OD
  8. So now rather than predicting a loss in the first half of a game, we're predicting them before the game even starts?!?!?
  9. I think the knock was that the kid is like 5'10, right? Maybe we could do what Andy did with Barney to meet deputy sheriff physical requirements...
  10. God I love Golden's...they are the best...11 and still has that puppy attitude...
  11. Self induced pain will get you little love from old people simply wearing out, my friend... 😁
  12. I got worn out just reading that...I don't even like to drive 24 miles any more...
  13. Praying for her and your family...
  14. I never gave PT much credit until I had a knee issue a few years back...outside of my left knee was killing me...I was in one of my gym rat modes, but it hurt so bad, I went to the Doctor...assigned me PT, and the guy said there's a tendon that runs from the hip to the outside upper knee that was rubbing against a bone...he kneaded my thigh like bread dough, and voila! No more pain...
  15. I don't know, but I did hear a good joke on the subject the other day...and being we have a few lawyers on the board, I'll sincerely apologize in advance... What happens when you give a lawyer Viagra? He gets taller 😉
  16. I wish I could tell you it gets better with age, but I think we all know it doesn't... I get to undergo this little procedure (cervical disc replacement...two of them between C5-C6 which is ruptured and C6-C7 which is bulging) later this month...
  17. I think it's more they've ran into two of the best teams in the conference...
  18. I was gonna say the same thing. Wagner looks like his brother did, and Michigan is deep...and can shoot...
  19. I'm beginning to think that Northwestern doesn't guard well enough to beat good offensive teams...lost to Iowa and Michigan is up 10 on them midway through the first half...
  20. OSU ends up shooting 31% overall and 26% from 3...
  21. Maybe they're so use to that screwed up place they call home a regular arena freaks them out...
  22. Either Minnesota is better than I thought, or Williams Arena screws up shooters so bad it's gonna be hard to win there...Gophers up 19 on OSU with 5 minutes left. The Buckeyes only hitting 34% of their shots... Liam Robbins, big kid for Minny, can play...
