What it was, was football.

Speaking of old vinyl, my folks had this record when I was a little tyke. I don't remember what size vinyl, but a 45 makes sense. I wonder what the flip side was? I love Andy Griffith. He is still working some. When he wants to, I guess. We sure laughed our asses off at this one when I was little. He is a national treasure, IMO.

We had that one floating round the house too. My dad loved it. Mom used to just shake her head...

I try to catch "No Time For Sergeants" whenever it pops up on one of the movie channels. Always cracks me up.

"A Face In The Crowd" is another movie of his that I'll try to catch when it comes on, but he's hardly a nice guy in that one.

Yep...'ol Andy's alright.

According to this, the story was two parts, side A and side B.

I surmise that the illustrations used in that Youtube video are from the 1958 version printed in MAD Magazine.

Day and a half without a single post. What a buncha slackers!

Who's going to the Winter Nationals?

Who's watching on TV?

May be a sloppy one, if they get it in at all.

I've never been to an NHRA event. I'll watch it on TV if they don't get rained out.

Wouldn't that be something? As it is, the track's going to be very cold, so traction is really going to be an issue.

I heard the snow level up North with this storm is down around 500'.

I suspect we'll wake up Saturday morning to a white mountain-top surround. Supposed to get down to 1000' up here, and should be about the same down there.

What ever happened to Global Warming???

Here you go, folks...it's quiz time!

How Smart Are You?

I got 9 of 11. Should have paid better attention to the questions.

Good news is, I got 10 out of 11. Missed #4, the baseball inning question.

Bad news is, I have a mediocre love life.

Here's what I got:

I recently saw a commercial with Andy Griffith in it.

Y'all youngin's may be to young to remember in the early '60s Bill Cosby was a comedian...(And some of his stuff is obscene for it's time)

I need to go through all the vinyl we got out of a closed down old record store, we have about 6 crates full of vinyl from the '40s to '70s.
