Jim Ochsner's Comments

When they do those kind of videos, they could at least reveal what % of those interviewed had correct vs. incorrect answers. Editing obviously can skew our opinion of those folks being asked.

Back in my radio DJ days, vinyl ruled. Not much beat cueing up album cuts and segueing one tune after another on two real turntables. Hated when we began the change to CD's. I still do some on the internet. Digital music is as close as it gets with software such as DJay.

I worked one summer in a factory operating drill presses. Some of the higher speeds had metal chips bouncing off my safety glasses. Drilling very hard mollyB-steel required slower speeds with oil to lubricate the drill bits as they did their job.

Funny to see Marlboros advertised as they were years ago, a woman's cigarette. The Marlboro man and all that came later as the tobacco company figured out a way to promote filtered smokes to men.

If I recall, we had experienced quite a stretch of sub-zero temperatures and the river was frozen solid already. The freezing rain put a smooth layer on it. Then again when you're that age, you never think of anything going wrong.

The skating on the frozen river reminds me of the time there was a freezing rain when I was at the U of Maine. The Stillwater River had a layer of glass smooth ice on it. We put on our skates and skated down to Orono to Pat's pizza for some pizza and beer. Fun times.

I was a DJ at an FM station when Purple Rain arrived for us to preview. It was on clear purple vinyl. There was a backwards message on it. We'd put the turntable into neutral and spin it backwards as best we could at 33 1/3 rpm to listen to any of them. The one on Purple Rain had something to do with the "coming of the Lord" if I recall.

Always told my high school students about the sisters who could crack their toes making rapping sounds of "spirits" during their sessions. My younger daughter learned that she could do that and would duplicate the sounds at our dinner table. Not to the amusement of her Mother.

Retired high school and college football official of 40 seasons here. Some coaches are always trying to game the game, coming up with trick plays like this. Almost all of them are illegal for one reason or another. Most officials are wise to this and flag them.
