My Alma Mater (Northern Illinois U.) won on one of the strangest muffed FG attempts I've ever seen. Cent. MI. is in position to win the game with just seconds on the clock and the FG would be a chip shot. The snap is a turf burner, but should still be handled by the holder. Instead, the ball goes through his hands and between his legs in full Bill Buckner mode. NIU falls on the ball...BUT WAIT - there are flags everywhere and both penalties are on NIU. But both occurred after the play was blown dead. Ball goes over to NIU and they win!

I used to allocate apparel to stores in that area. They complained when I sent winter coats there because the winters weren't as harsh as Chicago & the stuff just sat on the rack. I get it's an acclimation thing, but still, a couple weeks straight in the 20s F and you'd be out in a windbreaker in the 40s.

40s F isn't exactly "cold". FYI - they're calling for a wetter winter in that area because of La Niña.

Graham Kerr was an Aussie chef, having a cooking tv show long before most anyone else. He pretty much swilled wine the whole show. I never saw or heard of Keith Floyd until I tried looking up drunk chefs to find Kerr.

Grew up watching Graham Kerr (I never saw Keith Floyd), so you might be on to something.

Not sure. Probably tickets to a Blackhawks game.

OH, Boo Hoo. This was my childhood... ...but at least the fries were better then.

He who?

Sad to see him go. 13 Rules

Not true...they just know how to keep things quiet...what happens in Waffle House, stays in Waffle House or... For example

FFS = For Fleury's Sake!

They're not fooling anyone with those old Shatner toupees.

It'd help if I had something to add to the thread...like a win, maybe. I'll bet teams are already lining up to open next season against the Hawks.

Happy Birthday, BegunTribop!

Nope, not being "disingenuous", it just wasn't "grape" I heard it about, it was "orange" (from Central Illinois Farm kids in 7th grade). Either way, it's an insufferably stupid stereotype, but what do you expect from a town that had one Hispanic family, one Jewish family and no African Americans?

I never heard that about grape.

Got me thinking after my last post. What if you dropped a cube of dry ice in before the ice cream? You'd get that smokey fog pouring over the side of the glass, making it look even more mad scientist concoction-y.

If you like that, how about...
