Post a Random Fact About Yourself

[oberth]

The very point of a reaction video is that the person is recording themselves as they watch and react to something.

may be i'm just to old for that sort of stuff

Complete with hanging man..

After watching/listening it a few times I caught that frame. But wouldn't that be more apropos to "Hang 'em High"?

I never got to go to a summer camp as a kid, but my older sisters went to one several times. I've always been a little jealous that I never got a chance to go.

We were too po' for that. I just got weekend camping with Girl Scouts. (Yes, I was a Girl Scout.)

what happens to twinkies in vacuum

As of last week, I went two full decades without ever needing stitches. And then….

OUCH!

Tessa Thompson caressed my face once on the set of Men in Black: International........

I was a Boy Scout, but not a very good one. I wasn't really into the whole "camping" thing with sleeping in pup tents and cooking on an open campfire and communing with nature and all that stuff.

Funny thing is, our troop's sponsor and meeting place was Temple Beth Hillel in North Hollywood. I'm sure at least half the kids in the troop were Jewish.

We did backpacking, and laughed at the Boy Scout gear. They had rucksacks, canvas and rubber tents, we had frame backpacks and waterproof nylon. (This was the mid 70s)

I went to Saskatchewan Roughriders games at the now-demolished Taylor Field as a child.

One hopes you were not the reason it is now demolished. :P

On a similar note I attended a Detroit Tigers game in 1968 the first time they won the world series. (It was a regular season game) At an also now demolished Tiger Stadium.

I saw Pope John Paul II during his visit to the UK in 1982. Camped out at the roadside with my family and we saw him in the Popemobile. I was five and I remember it being cold and wet but lots of blankets so it was exiting.

You're lucky. I never got the chance to see a game at Tiger Stadium. I bet it was awesome.

Damn shame how they let it fucking ROT for 10 years before tearing it down.

Blankets make everything more exciting when you are five.

I have two degrees of separation to the Pope. I'm not even Catholic.

They had to let it rot, there was nothing wrong with it, just no sky boxes. Crying shame, one of the best fields in the American League. Now it's a corporate named cookie cutter like everyone other corporate named cookie. Never mind you have to sell a kidney to take a family there.

You had to be there.

I've been a military/commercial pilot for over 30 years, and a DnD player for over 40.

Only forty? Sadly I had no chance at pilot, my eyes sucked.

By "let it rot" I meant they just let Tiger Stadium sit abandoned. FOR TEN YEARS. I have absolutely no sympathy for that. Once the Tigers moved out, they should have immediately demolished it (or at least find another tenant, like the Rangers did with Globe Life Park). Put it out of its misery.

I fucking HATE it when buildings are left abandoned. Far as I'm concerned, that should be illegal.

Now in the interest of full disclosure, I really have nothing against Comerica Park. I have been there, and it is very nice...

I'm not disagreeing with you. Tiger Stadium had a lot of life left in it.

The time span between my last visit to Taylor Field and its demolition covers decades. So I'm reasonably confident that your hope is not in vain.

i wouldnt think i was going to say this...

I remember being equally pissed off when Seattle demolished its stadium, and built two in its place, one for baseball and one for football.

For crying out loud, just build one. Is it really that hard?!

Cookie cutter stadiums sucked. Multipurpose stadiums just don’t work.

Thankfully, we’ve (except for fucking Oakland ) moved beyond that kind of brutalist, generic, 70’s-infested, concrete-poured ugliness.

Field shape differs enough to make that a bad idea. In the dark ages the Lions played in Tiger Stadium, and it was an awkward fit at best. Each has their own now and long for the best.
