rico Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I pride myself in being a self-proclaimed "vault of useless knowledge." Every now and again a fact is brought to my attention that I never knew until it was presented to me. Sad that it was right in front of me the whole time without me realizing it. I am a TV western fan and this was told to me today and I never made the connection. Robert Crawford Jr.(Andy Sherman from the show "Laramie") is Johnny Crawford's(Mark McCain from the show "The Rifleman") are real life brothers. Damn, I watch those shows almost everyday. Pitiful.

From the 1870s to Star Date 353578.88660578395 which is the actual calculated Star Date for June 3rd, 1969...the date of the final Star Trek episode... Gene covered a lot of ground!

What about a Coke ? Growing up in Gary, Indiana, as I did. And ordering in a restaurant. We would order a Coke. And always they would come back with whatever they had.... and never question what we were ordering. Even though they might not be serving Coke, instead of Pepsi. It wasn't till I got into the Army after graduating from IU, that I heard the term of soda. That was in Georgia. And seemed very strange to me. Another thing. When ordering iced tea in the South. The question was always ..... Sweet ? Heck, I never heard of that in Indiana. My son is like you, in that he hasn't ever drank anything with caffine in it.

milehiiu Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Talking about robberies, or robbers in Indiana. There is this. Dillinger Escape from Crown Point When I was a student at IU, I visited the John Dillinger museum in Nashville, Indiana. Later the museum was moved to Crown Point, Indiana. And subsequently closed.

I've never had a drink of pop (or soda as some of you communists call it) in my life. I'm the same way with alcohol. Which is really remarkable considering I'm an IU fan! I gave up pop about 5 years ago, and haven't had any since. Oddly enough, I still have random dreams about drinking pop. Had one last night actually.
