He said he'd have to charge her for extra cheese. I said I was entitled to cheese, and should not be charged double. I...

    Official PSU - SMU 1st Round CFB Playoff Thread

    How was everyone's experience with Peacock?

    No problems. Announcers were making calls even when game got out of hand. Network promos were limited to time outs and between quarters. Only complaint was 2 or 3 times cameras were late getting back to live action after replays.

    Deadheads: Cornell 2023

    The wildest concert I ever attended was Jerry Garcia and Friends, March 25, 1972 at the Academy of Music in NYC. My cousin in New York got tickets, and I drove in from the Lehigh Valley. It turned out to be the Dead, with Bo Diddly sitting in for the first set. Almost the entire venue was...

    Some recent threads have me thinking. What game do you think was fixed.

    Not a game, but the 1985 NBA draft lottery giving Patrick Ewing to the Knicks. Bent and possibly frozen Knicks card placed in drum, making it stand out from the other six cards. The auditing firm running the lottery also had Knicks' owner as a client.
