So I'm reading this Hamlin fellow is showing good signs, conscious and interacting. I didn't see the collision, but heard it wasn't unusually brutal. There's discussion on my Giants board about an increase in various athletes' cardiac occurrences these last 2 years, and documentation of that in young males who were vaccinated.

I heard Anne Wilson's unusual cover of Immigrant Song last night and randomly though: I know Heart and Rush have great raps on Zep, I have seen Billy Joel talk about seeing Zep and it changed him, I wonder who else that is highly successful has the mighty Zep as their #1 band???
Zep changed Billy Joel? That's a hot one...

Oh, I miss a lot, believe me. Things have changed since pandemic 2020. Three of my favourite seafood joints have closed since then. Fresh seafood seems to be harder to come by in the local markets and I don't have time to go down to the fresh fish markets at the beach. I don't go out to restaurants as much as I used to do. One of my faves has reopened and they had great scallops, but I have yet to visit as they are kind of out of the way. I should rectify that soon.
Things have definitely changed, even with the places that made it through that. Having lived in the same area all my life, it's heartbreaking to see some things that had family activity memories gone now. Seems down by the water is the most hard hit.

The NFL and most other sports had archaic TV rules back in the 1960s and 1970s before cable sports TV changed everything. The owners and leagues thought that fans wouldn't attend games in person if you broadcast them on tv.
The game that Chuck Hughes died in wasn't a Thanksgiving game. It was on October 24, 1971. I remember seeing quite a few empty seats at the Detroit Thanksgiving games in the 1970s and 1980s...at least until Barry Sanders showed up.
Funny that the owners didn't think PSLs would keep fans from attending games, and the league gave one of the worst attendance draws an annual Thanksgiving game.

What do you mean "nobody"? I have heard several people mention Chuck Hughes...and Howard Glenn, for that matter. The difference is that that Lions-Bears game was a regional broadcast with very few viewers compared to the national Monday Night Football broadcast last night, when everyone in football was watching it live.
Something Bonger brought up - I can't fathom why a team's broadcast would be blacked out, especially if the game sells out. Do the Lions sellout every Thanksgiving?

Damn. You guys are making me hungry for scallops.
You don't seem to miss much, whether it's good food or music. I don't think we've been out for seafood, since early last year. I'm sure the wife would jump on that, maybe I'll treat her soon.

i kept spraying the bark at the 4 hour mark every time i filled the chip tray however next time when I hit 160 internal temp I will remove and double wrap with quality butcher paper and stick in oven at 250 until we reach 195, I just didn't have the paper but still came out pretty good
I only have a gas grill, but put a tray of soaked wood chips right over the burner and a smaller size brisket off to the side. But still got an impressive "bark" and the center was nice and juicy.

Not sure I know? I like scallops but the bay scallops are of course not as good, and nor as expensive
Bay scallops used to be very plentiful and super cheap. Usually we breaded and fried them, not bad. But fresh seared Sea Scallops - that's gourmet eating...

It always used to be but the wife does not eat it. I love lamb chops with mint jelly. I bought these lobster ravioli I will use with white clam sauce. I also bought these spinach and cheese ravioli with alfredo sauce. If I get anything special for New Years Eve, maybe some clams or scallops? Not sure. Crab legs are off the charts. As are Lobster Tails for what you get and Alaskan Halibut the same. Happy New Year.
Scallops are my favorite seafood, but not at the price they are lately. They keep trying to re-introduce seedlings to local waters, but it looks like they'll never recover.
Do you use Rana pasta products? I've been finding them to be a nice variety and almost always on sale.

Sounds like the 1870s.
Well, we're close to the bay, high water table... then they built a lot of new houses on watershed areas with underground streams.

My next door neighbor raised ducks as his daughter was allergic to chicken eggs. As if the smell wasn't bad enough in the summer, the flies that infested the neighborhood was worse!
Ah, memories of the 70s. When no one had sewer connections yet, cesspools regularly bubbled up, smells and poop eating critters were abound, and someone falling into a collapsed one was an annual event.

so whats going on with the nfl these days? couple weeks back Falcons rightfully bench Mariota and he leaves team and silence from coach and gm and now reading where coached has benched Carr on Raiders and he's leaving team, well wth is going on, how bout get on practice field, bust your ass, help your replacement prepare, etc... and if you think of leaving well your fired and you won't get paid! not sure why this is happening but I long for the return of a Landry, Poll, Shula, Lombardi, etc...
Especially with football being the ultimate team sport, I always hope for those who think they're above that to fail miserably. Unfortunately, not enough do and many even get praise for "sticking it to the man". No, you're just ruining it for us fans...

Back in the 70's there was 3 story coop right next door to my house. All day long chickens were all you could hear.
Our neighbor back then was "the egg man", he delivered them in an old station wagon. All night long you could see him in his basement, checking each egg with a light bulb.

Of course! And for New Years I've got a nice rack of lamb - your favorite, right?

Supposedly, politics are not allowed here. Conservavtives are now in the same situation the gays used to be with: OUT OF THE CLOSET........OUT OF A JOB!
Just watched 'Downton Abbey: The Movie' and they had to push the poofter agenda in that too.
Wasn't there a purely politics thread here, long ago? I don't see an issue with having just that, and keep it there for the most part. "Random Thoughts" should be just that, something for all to ponder - not obsessions and condescention from both sides.

Nothing like hot matzoh ball soup on a cold rainy night.
Kosher delis are great, we have Bens here on Long Island that does a nice job with the comfort foods.

I don't recall how many years ago I had stopped posting on this forum, but looks like someone hasn't missed a beat on hounding me. No mystery as to why this place became a ghost town, but I tried to give it a second chance...
