Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

If it was the Flyers, then that would have been the Spectrum. Which in itself would have been pretty cool to see. Lots of history behind that stadium as well.

@cosmic mouse and @TribbleFeeder, have either of you ever been to a game at the Vet? What was it like back then?

I wish. My dad used to go all the time but he only took my sister with him. My aunt has a couple of the seats though! A little piece of history.

Everyone was pretty bummed when they tore it down. I’ll never forget the demolition.

I might have. I went to a Flyers game and a horse show in a stadium in South Phila… not sure where I was (or if it was the same building both times).

The horse show might have been at the turf club, it’s right up the street from where the vet was!!

I have two seats from the old Yankee Stadium. I think I'm going to put them in my kitchen.

I'm out now. Highly irritated throat.

Apparently missing a toe.

I'll be here a few days.

Sorry about the toe, but I'm glad you're OK, and that you got that resolved before it got much worse and harder to fix.

As for the rest of the thread, I can't really contribute much. This is the closest I've been to Philly, sorry:

Have you noticed that when people say they'll call you it usually means that they won't?

You're right. It was the Spectrum... the façade of the building in the wiki link jogged my memory.

possibly.... it was def in South Philly somewhere.

Not at all.

That depends on the country. If a German or Austrian says they'll call you, they'll inevitably do so. We do use what we call 'emergency lies' to rescue ourselves from impending doom but we lack the American tradition of what I might call 'social lies' (aka 'white lies').

Yes, Operating Room.

{{{{{{{Scribble}}}}}}} I'm so sorry they couldn't save it. Still, better a toe than the whole foot.
The irritated throat is from the breathing tube. It'll take a few days to heal, I'm afraid.
Is there anything we can do to make you feel better?

No such thing as coincidence. I might never know for sure, but I suspect I have been the butt of a really mean private joke.

Either way, I’ll place my trust in karma to sort this one out.

To what are you referring?

Estranged family seems rather well informed, and interested, in a dubious personal setback.

 

[auntiehill]

Estranged family are generally "estranged" for good reason, no?

When you buy one and get one free, who's paying for the free one?

Nobody ever makes creamed chipped beef anymore, do they?

I have it like once a week! They call it Shit on a Shingle here

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ My grandmother used to make it all the time when I was a kid. I'd call it heaven on toast!

 

[TribbleFeeder]

I like her name for it better!

 

[auntiehill]

It's more accurate, too.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

might we have the recipe, please?

hence the nick Butters? *ducks and runs*
Sorry, I just can't resist a really bad pun. I agree with auntie - they are sure to be estranged for a reason. It's a pity that RL has no ignore button.

When you buy one and get one free, who's paying for the free one?

As always, you are. In order to be able to give one for free, they rise the price for the first one (or for another article you need).

This is what I like about the forum, not the quality discussion of all things Trek and similar, it’s the googling of interesting eats that I can add to my food bucket list.

They don’t have that here.
