Nice find. Very interesting photos for sure.

Back in my moonlighting/bar tending days I made a cocktail called the brain. Bailey's spooned careflly to the bottom of some liquor. Add a little Grenadine on top and it was a Bloody Brain.

Nice article.

I worked as Maintenance Director at a Boy Scout camp in the Adirondack Mountains of NY. Bears were a nuisance at the least. We'd tell the boys not to keep food in their tent, but of course their were times when they ignored us. I remember a cookie tin ripped apart by a bear's claws. I would use it at show and tell to new campers.

Very funny. I will pass it on to my daughter and son in law who are here visiting with our identical twin 18 month old grand daughters.

I'll never forget an incident in college. At the U of Maine, every Saturday night dinner was hot dogs and beans. A college chum was noted for his ability to produce gas after such a meal. We wanted to see if we could ignite the methane. One night he ate a lot. We sat around playing cards and waiting for the go ahead signal. He said he was ready. We turned off the lights and he bent over to let loose. At the same time a BIC light was positioned. A blue flame about a foot long shot out in the dark. We all were rolling on the floor laughing. We forgot to place a mirror so the gas producer could see it. Too bad it was before cell phone cameras and U-Tube. True story.

I think the Jets may rule in a small point in Cortland NY. I remember in pre-expansion days, when I was at the U of Maine, all the folks there were NY Giants fans.

Good luck. I bought a "cocktail tree" a few years ago that had branches for: ruby red grapefruit, Persian lime, tangerine, navel orange, Honeybell tangelo, and Meyer lemon. Last year I had a dozen or so Meyer lemons, two limes, two oranges, three tangelos, two small sour grapefruit, no tangerines. This year I have quite a few Meyer lemons, no limes, 4 grapefruit that look normal so far, a couple tangelos, the orange branch died, and the tangerine branch looks like it is next. I guess those things don't work out like you wish they would.

Back when I was a DJ on FM radio I played a lot of "heavy metal" including a band from Japan, Loudness. Fun times.

I saw the old cartoon strip Terry & the Pirates as an influence. A young man, an adventurer, a princess, and Big Stoop instead of Chewbacca. Anyone else see that?

No comfy chairs or sofas? I used to just plop down in one and catch some Z's.

Smash cakes. Some bakeries make them for kid's birthdays. Our twin grand daughters recently celebrated their first birthday with us last month. MrsO baked a couple small cakes for them. Needless to say chocolate frosting especially provided many photo ops.

During Hurricane Hazel which passed over Syracuse NY in 1954, it blew down the marquee of the Elmwood movie theater. Playing that day was Gone With The Wind.

I don't even care for green beer on March 17th. Reminds me of an old psychology study from years ago with odd colored foods.

I always inserted a fictitious author/reference into every paper I had to write for college. No one ever questioned it. My prepared answer was that I did it to catch anyone plagiarizing my work. Sure.
