I'll watch if there isn't a college baseball, Texas Rangers or NHL game on TV. The basketball and college track is over, NHL could be over today. Could watch a CFL game over it, but I'll probably watch some soon.

I guess ole Freddy fooled JJ Watt. JJ has probably never been anywhere but Houston. So gullible. Obvious pandering Friend.

Glad the US won, but I didn't watch it.

I was in the outfield at the Rangers old Arlington stadium when Nolan Ryan had a no hit game for seven innings.

I yelled at Barry before the steroid issues were common knowledge. I was a Ranger fan and more of a Griffy guy.

I yelled something stupid like, "Look out Bonds, it's coming your way!", at the beginning of the bottom of the 1st inning of MLB's 1st regular season Interleague game in 1997. Sat with a friend's dad in his seats three rows from the field in center/left field. They were just to the left of the yellow sign next to the out-of-town scoreboard.

They had Do the Right Thing, now Reality Bites, Later Slacker, River's Edge Reckless and Oxford Blues.

They're calling it "Boomer's Suck" Night.

I did a Warner Brothers studio tour with a friend who was an SMU grad. An SMU film school professor set the tour up for us. It was my buddy and I and seven French directors, camera men and other film professionals. We got to watch them adding road noises and birds chirping to the wrecker truck chase scene. We also got to go into the Foley Room and saw and heard what noises were made from each little compartment.

When we got to the street front exterior that they use for movies shot on the lot, they were painted with bright trim in red, yellow, green and blue. They told us the buildings were painted for the Dick Tracy movie they had just finished shooting. They said the same street front had used with different facades in movies and TV shows since the 40's.

They showed us another outside area where they had shot scenes for Christmas Vacation. This was just mockups to shoot from outside into different rooms of Clark's house window. One of the windows had a Dominos sticker on it. When I saw the movie in the theater, I never saw a damn Dominos sticker. It really pissed me off.

I remember him in 'The Virdict'. He was Kevin Doneghy, the brother-in-law of the lady who had been made a vegetable by the tired doctor. He lashed out at Paul Newman's Frank Galvin character for not taking the settlement that the Archdiocese of Boston offered.

Kevin Doneghy: You guys... you guys are all the same! The doctors at the hospital, you... it's always what I'm going to do for you. And then you screw up, and it's, "Ah, we did the best that we could, I'm dreadfully sorry." And people like us live with your mistakes the rest of our lives.



I think L.A.'s picture is of him when he was mad at Galvin.I couldn't find that pic except for an encripted version.

Damn, I'd forgotten Norv Turner lasted six years as the Chargers Coach.

You drank coffee as a kid?


Been a coffee drinker since I was about 6 years old.

My mom let us have it with milk in elementary school. Someone gave my dad four mugs with "For my coffee break" written on them. After you finished your coffee this message was stamped on the bottom of the inside of the cup: "BACK TO WORK" We got them. We always said "Back to work" when we finished them. They had us trained like little seals at an early age.

Mowed yards down the street for money in 5th and 6th grades too.
