The first time I yelled that chant.  We were packed into the lounge/TV room on the 3rd floor to watch the US beat the Soviets.

It's one of those moments in life that you remember exactly where you were decades later.

I've ALWAYS pictured you looking like Apollo Creed.

and of course, Magnus is Uncle Paulie.

 

My kids get their first lesson on what happens when the sparkly part burns down to where your hand is tonight.  Stocked up on ointment!

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm a free thread.

Story One: "Blank the Alligators" (LINK)

A man. An alligator. Texas. If you think this story won't end well, it won't.

Orange County Justice of the Peace Rodney Price told CNN affiliate KFDM that Woodward ignored verbal warnings and a posted "No Swimming Alligators" sign and seemed to mock the deadly creatures before going in the water. "He removed his shirt, removed his billfold ... someone shouted a warning and he said 'blank the alligators' and jumped in to the water and almost immediately yelled for help," Price said.

In the dude's defense, the sign said "No Swimming Alligators," which would lead one to believe that there are only non-swimming alligators, at worst, so it should be relatively safe in the water.

Story Two: Trump endorses Michigan (LINK)

I think Michigan's an amazing place, by the way.

Did you hear that, Jersey recruits? Enough said.

Rock over Traverse City! Nothing says Independence Day like a good old-fashioned Warbird. I'm a Navy guy but these Air Force dudes are alright.
