    Easter Menu.

    Warrington Farms Meats bone-in ham (possibly the best we've ever eaten) Baked Sweet Potatoes Green Bean Casserole (our home-grown beans that we canned last fall) Martin's Sweet Dinner Rolls (a MUST!) Dessert (the wife hasn't finalized this yet)

    Moving to Pennsylvania and hoping to become a Penn State fan

    Are you certain that this is what you want to do? If so, we can schedule your orientation classes and then the initiation process. FYI, the initiation has many challenges...

    Good luck Artemis

    Space picnic? So, what's it like spending 10 days whizzing through space in a small area with three other people? There's no bathroom! WTH?! I don't know about you but after eating a pile of mango salad with a side of couscous and beef brisket I just might become a tad fragrant. God bless them!

    Name a player who represents Penn State at its best

    I thank God regularly that there are too many names to list in response to this question. We have been truly blessed.

    Moving to Pennsylvania and hoping to become a Penn State fan

    Mississippi to Lykens? 1. Buy some warm clothes! 2. Spring in Penna is like bi-polar disorder: one minute you're freezing, the next you're on fire. 3. Entirely different accent. 4. The food is really different. Good luck finding fried chicken you will like as much as in the South. 5...

    Tiger Woods in another car crash.

    I was just going to post this myself. Shep, where have you been for the last 20 years? The 'average Joe', multiple DUI arrested drunk is still out there driving along with the rest of us.

    2026 Pirates Thread

    Skenes is at his best when he's pitching a little mad. He seemed way too relaxed today. I suspect he'll have a better outing in a few days.

    OT: Pa Snack Capitol

    Boyer being missing from this list is a major omission. The Malo Cup is a PA candy classic. I grew up 10 miles from Altoona and they were a childhood staple. Someone asked about Clark bars. Clark is now owned by Boyer and they are making the bars again in limited numbers. There is also a...

    OT: Favorite rock lyrical couplets, 2 lines max. What you like?

    I saw a werewolf drinkin' a piña colada at Trader Vic's And his hair was perfect. Warren Zevon I changed my hairstyle, so many times now, I don't know what I look like. David Byrne

    OT: Robots are being used to challenge balls and strikes during spring training games!

    What a steaming pile of crap! Get rid of this and the designated hitter nonsense. Bring back real baseball. And while we're at it, what happened to 'small ball'? You know, hitting behind the runner, choking up and making contact with two strikes, etc.? NO, now we're all just a bunch of...

    Your way too early season prediction?

    That seems quite reasonable. I was thinking that 9-3 would be a very good season, 8-4 acceptable, and 7-5 a disappointment.

    Tips for a golfing newbie

    1. Play as fast as you comfortably can. 2. Take a score card with you when you start for course directions, etc., but NO PENCIL. No need to keep score right now. 3. Don't try to take on Torrey Pines this week. Pitch and Putt courses are fine for beginners. 4. Have fun!
