    No. I don't remember what I purchased or what I did with it. Sometimes I think being old and forgetful is a blessing from the Lord.

    i think it was one of those vintage miniature cars, if i'm not mistaken

    so when someone as immature as i am sees something like "Vibrator HO Scale Slot Car," using words like vibrator and ho to describe something that was purchased leaves my mind no other option than to take a swan dive into the gutter

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    I have a lot of family and friends who are gun owners.

    Suffice to say i'm glad that I am friendly with them and not vice versa. :D

    We had scammers on here every now and then. All of them got caught in their web of lies. Thinking one was resealing and got caught buying wrappers. It was when Or before Steve started his business. We had a lady on here given away great gifts. Something happened with her but can’t remember. She was outed as a man or we thought she was a man. Can’t remember exactly.

    Felicia. Was a man and a complete fraud but I don’t remember him scamming people out of money or cards, there were a few loose ends.

    You would be surprised how many people are accused of being plants just because they have a different opinion from the masses.

    I was once called out by a prominent member because I didn't politically or socially fall in line with " the rest of us". I was disturbing the peace I suppose.

    I’m sorry Mark but I did laugh when I read this 😂😂😂. The mob mentality was pretty out of control back in the day, I mentioned it a few posts ago about the piling on and I wasn’t joking as your well aware.

    All is good. I laughed as well. I'm sure a lot of us have patched up walls where we once banged our heads repeatedly.

    Today's forum is less stressful, more fun and less exciting but far less drama. ( still gets a little spicy)

    I will say the way they staged the moon landing back in 1969 was quite remarkable.

    The desert landscape in Arizona really made it look like they were actually walking on the moon.

    However that empty beer can in the background gave it away.

    Congrats on hitting the rare ST trifecta with this one!

    “Do you know this for sure?”
    “Still got the shovel out back!”

    Can you name the movie quote by one of the greatest voices in Rock?

    I didn't google it.

    I'll guess Pink Floyd. Probably wrong.

    It’s a movie. Fits into the conspiracy thread

    Do you have a link to the conspiracy thread, or is this it?

    So far we've got 9/11 was an inside job, the moon landing was staged, FBI plants in gun forums, and a double agent CIA/KGB. I think you've found it.

    It’s changed but in my opinion I’d say it’s pretty much right there with the best of times right now, I’m totally serious too. The regulars we got here now are all very good to banter with, I think the rivalries between Sox and Yankee fans were pretty intense back in the day and both sides got pretty snarky at times. There were always debates that got out of control as compared to now where they stay civilized. Good times

    one of the biggest thrills of my life, when I was a teenager, was going to a game at Fenway Park. A dream come true!

    This is off topic, but any time Fenway is mentioned , I have to say... Please, I never want it replaced. I read so many people, even Boston lifers, say they can't wait for a new stadium. But we have sooooo many new ones. Leave this one be. It's a treasure. Yes, the seats are small. All seats were small back then. Sight lines are sometimes less than optimal. No way to maximize corporate revenue with endless suites.

    But walking into Fenway, when you get that first glimpse of the grass, is magic.

    Fenway park will be there FOREVER...any viable talk about a new stadium would cause such an outrage that the Boston Tea Party would look like a joke. C'mon, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, the list goes on and on and on, pick a name, pick a team. The place is a baseball legend and a treasure. Unless it gets condemned for structural issues, its there to stay.

    A tip for those who visit...DO NOT get seats along the 1st base side up to the bullpen area near the 420' sign. The Spring/Summer sun will blind you for at least 3 innings. The sun sets almost in a direct line from the right field foul pole to the left field foul pole. And, if you're there in July/August, the hot will turn you into a french fry. The BEST seats are the Monster Seats, or almost anything along the 3rd base side. Monster Seats will probably take about 6 layers of plastic off your credit card, but, if its a one time visit...go for it!!

    If you haven't been to Fenway, you've never been to a baseball game. The preferred match up is Yankees/Red Sox, lots of smack, mostly in fun, but I've seen it go the other way after the game. If you're a Yankee fan, be cool about wearing your pinstripes and trash talking!!!

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.
