I remember listening to The Joker (space cowboy) in the early 70s on WLS after dark on my trusty am transistor radio.

I used to get these portable transistor radios from Kmart..I would always tear them apart and even today can smell that smell..heck probably even licked it..lol

Always wondered how they worked, but could never could put them back together..musta went thru 5 of em..lol. Heck Dallas probably modified his and got it to pick up Cuban radio at night.

Never be worth more dead to someone than you are alive. Words to live by.

**Especially if that person has insane hormonal fluctuations on a monthly basis, to where she hates everyone around her for a couple days straight. The 2 above conditions...combined with nearly unlimited "motive" and "opportunity" is a recipe for "fatal home accidents".😆

My buddy and his significant other were fussing lately before i got over to his house apparently. She came out and jumped in his SRT Durango and took off. He muttered under his breath " I'd cut your brake lines, but you're driving MY truck." Lmao. We had a good laugh

My insurance agent’s wife tried to kill him, I’ll always be worth more alive than dead.

@McDad, I see you survived yesterday because you're still around to like posts. The great thing about that practical joke you played on McRib yesterday is that she could possibly misuse the word "precipice" for months or even years before someone calls her out on it. Of course, that also increases her odds of eventually cashing in on your life insurance policy whenever she finds out about your deception.

He’s hanging on by a precipice.

I heard in the offseason that Miami paid Beck $4M this year. Only the QB at Michigan who they stole from LSU that was the #1QB in Gmacs 2025 class was rumored to be making similar money to Beck. That dude is as weird as he looks. Each season at UGA he was the same...would just have a TERRIBLE game from time to time where he couldn't hit the side of a barn. Louisville had ZERO sacks on Beck and he still threw 4 picks to 4 different people. Wow

Lol. No. Discrete transistor amplifiers aren’t really in my wheelhouse to me they’re an art form. I’m much more an op amp guy. Much more room for error.

Georgia tech just got called for delay of game when one of their guys slapped his defensive lines bass a couple times trying to get him to move. They called that disconcerting signals. Pretty dang funny

Lmao. I told my daughter Vandy was gonna beat LSU probably 27-24 or so. Vandy bout to beat em if they just get a FG on this drive

...and the Candy WR drops a perfect rainbow pass by Pavia that would have put them in FG range by far and won the game outright with a 10pt lead. Lmao

This is the 1st time Vandy has been favored to beat a top10 team in 77 tries. Granted, they were favored by 2.5 when v3gas gives 3pts to the home team. So on a neutral site vegas says LSU plus .5
