Turns out "Hollyweed" did happen in 1976, but the sign has been altered a number of times beside that. Pretty cool, I had forgotten about who donated to fix the sign when it was deteriorated. Alice Cooper donated the cash for one of the O's - in honor of his good friend Groucho Marx. And of course, Hugh Hefner donated the money for the "Y".

I think someone did change the sign (beside the original "Hollywoodland") for some other purpose beside this one. My memory is that it was some sort of protest, but I'll have to check.

Bears losing as usual, but just pulled a sweet decepetion play for a TD. RB Langford goes out to the right as a WR. QB Barkley in the backfield motions him back behind him like he misunderstood the call in the huddle. Barkley then moves up to the line and moves to the right behind the line, gesturing like he's changing the play. As he does that, the direct snap goes to Langford. WR Meredith swings from the left to behind Langford as if it's a WR end around. Meanwhile, Barkley has gotten behind the defense in the endzone to the right. Meredith (a former ISU QB) throws to Barkley for a TD.

Knew that. Thanks.

Knowing corpthink as I do, I would guess one of the questions asked was, "How much revenue are we generating off the boards?" and when the reply was given, either the follow up was, "How much could we make?" and/or "Why do we even have it then? Kill it".

That's easy for you to say...

Some guy who became a "star" by repeating the same 5 lines, over and over and over and...

I might order a pizza...maybe.

I had my drink. I did just see some "singer" called "Silento", so I may have to have a second. Yeesh, what happened to music?

Don't forget your threads - they're toxic.

Go hunt up "friendzone - chris rock". "'Cause you never know."

The good ol' bad ol' days - (referred to during the first intermission interview) -

Mostly polite applause as Blackhawk alums were announced (except for Pang & Aucoin - both well known in StL). Nothing but boos for "Carbomb".

"...and THEY'RE HUNGRY FOR HUMAN BLOOD!"

I'm going to stay here and see if they figure it out... "Template Parse Error! It seems something has gone sour on the forum with the template system.

Looked like it wasn't going to be anything for a bit there.

Like this?

It had LSD in it.

Oh...ok....

Awww, come on. You guys aren't that bad.

I think their point was the absurdity of it all. The DJ on the radio joked that it was a plot by the "laboratory animals" to make it look like everything causes cancer.

I remember when they were cool...in the 60s.
