Bet this gets more bumps than his vanity threads.
(Editors Note) This thread was formerly called Mudbutt sucks the big one thread.
I changed the title. Now you can debate if it is wisdom or unwisdom.
Shy bookkeeper Henry Limpet loves fish with a passion. Rejected by the U.S. Navy and feeling downcast, he falls off a pier into the waters near Coney Island and finds he has turned into a fish. Since he never resurfaces, his wife and friends assume he has drowned.
I used to go to Coney Island a number of times in my youth. My grandparents lived near Sheepshead Bay and we'd somehow make our way to Coney Island when visiting. I rode the Cyclone back when it was famous. Is that World's Fair (19??) parachute ride still standing? I don't remember ever riding it, I may have been too young or it may have been too expensive.
Thanks for the Wiki link...I just perused it. 1939 World's Fair...somewhere I have a 1939 key ring that either my granny or grandpa gave me knowing that I was a young packrat and would hold on to it.
Hey, I just found it! It's nothing fancy and I still have keys on it.
I just found something old too...maybe me talking about my Uncle Punk brought some good karma out...
When we moved Mom up to Michigan back in 2001, she gave me her mother's silver which I brought up here and then promptly "lost". It just turned up this AM. Uncle Punk was Grandma's baby brother...
Ill see what I can do about posting a more current pic, if you really want one.

I've got a few pieces of family silver that were handed down to me. Not silverware but a pitcher and a sugar and milk/cream containers. I just took a gander at them and they need some serious cleaning. No wonder silver is no longer a popular item, at least from what I've seen.
While I was reminiscing I googled on the few sets of Topps complete sets of baseball cards I purchased about twenty years ago. I think I paid more for them then than they are worth now. Bummer...
About seven of the horses on the list are running this weekend. I think I'll run my money up to the track on Sunday. I think I'll blow off All Others and go for luck and value on about 3 or 4 of them.
I started buying Topps complete sets when my oldest was born in 1981 [1982 was first set] and continued to do so until he was about 13. I had a coworker in the late 80's who had a sports memorabilia store and he told me about a new company, Upper Deck, and I bought him a few sets of those as well.
He sold some of them a few years ago when he and his wife bought their house and he was able to buy some furniture. But 99% of the cards were crap.
IIRC, and I'll call him later to ask, one of the years had a quirk to it; someone did something bad in the background or something, and he had that card and got some decent coin for it.

Well...was I as fucking wrong as wrong can be...he sold all the sets [there were 20 he said] to one guy and got about $300 bucks [he thinks] and the card I thought he had he didn't....

You and me bofe. With cold temperatures the snow we got last week is still on the ground with more coming. The temps are supposed to hit 35 F on Thursday for the first above freezing in I don't know how long.
We watched womens curling at the tavern yesterday, Japan vs US. I told them I've seen this 'sport' for about 40 years and I still have no idea what the rules are and how the scoring works. It was fun to watch anyway. US lost by 1 point and they got out this high tech gadget to score who was closest to the bulls eye at the end; Japan was.
