Willie's Crystal Ball - 2/26/26

Who says I am short for 197?


I bet only half of this board have any idea on this one. I am getting old.

Does the 197 watch cowboys and Indians on TV?

 

[Shifty15]

What does it say about me that I did not have to look this up:

Green Acres is the place to be
Farm living is the life for me
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan just give me that countryside

New York is where I'd rather stay
I get allergic smelling hay
I just adore a penthouse view
Darling, I love you but give me Park Avenue

And to think you had to climb a telephone pole to sing that to someone!!

Not surprised no one noticed those before, the sculptures are located in an odd place and not the most visible location. Imagine my surprise realizing what you used as your avatar. I have lived in the area for 23 years but only started to commute from that station as opposed to the one in Princeton JCT. small world I guess

The NJ Grounds For Sculpture is truly one of the treasures of the state that goes unnoticed and/or unappreciated by many people.

Let's face it, so many people are so focused rushing to and from work each day, the sculptures don't have time to register as quickly for a lot of commuters.

For those of you following this conversation, check out the website. If you live in NJ or are visiting, it is something worthy of your time. It has something for everyone: https://www.groundsforsculpture.org/

This post is flagged. Excessive use of the word “dice” in a single paragraph. Only dicemen99 can get away with that.

Or Grip220…

Or Grip220…

Me and Grip are now internet chummy, if you can believe that. Goes to show you, there is always some common ground to be found. Useful to remember in these times.

 

[BaccaFarmer]

I would bet on Arnold qualifying. Major upset if he doesn't.

I’m not understanding all this focus on an above average wrestler who has bounced around the Iowa program. This forum occasionally wanders to strange places.

Is Rats still there? I lived in Mercer County about 20 years ago and remember that place was really good.

 

[PSU Mike]

The only thing I remember about that show is that I always fantasized banging Mrs Douglas in their barn.

Is something wrong with me?

Then again you probably fantasized about banging Ralph Monroe, too …

 

[Reiterate]

Do you realize that you are the only poster that recognized the sculpture as an actual art form in over 10 yrs? GREAT observation. You SLAYED it my man!

I liked your jeans girl avatar alot more.

 

[Anon1683312534]

10 guys will qualify at 197, and the bottom six other than whoever goes for Iowa look the list below. I'd give Arnold an excellent shot to make the big show if he wrestles at Big Ten's. We'll just have to wait and see.

NCAA's will be far more problematic.

#8 Gavin Nelson (MINN, 3-5)
#9 Gabe Sollars (IND, 3-5)
#10 Hayden Walters (MICH, 3-5)
#11 Ben Vanadia (PUR, 1-4)
#12 Dylan Connell (ILL, 1-4)
#13 Alex Smith (NW, 0-8)
#14 IOWA Wrestler

Their records are irrelevant.

Yep. They even run a cooking class there.

Mikey, Mikey...don't go projecting your fantasy on my dream, I am strictly hetero. To be clear, there is NOTHING wrong with your homosexual dreams. It's just not my jam.

The vast and very cosmopolitan Altoona? /s

I'd think Williamsburg or Puzzletown would work a little better. Of course, they'd have to have internet to read the joke, so you may be right.

Altoona has its own variety of Pizza so it has that going for it!

 

[tullfan68]

any of you old guys remember the JAFFA MOSQUE?

 

[tullfan68]

I love beautiful women like Stevie Nicks but also wanted Janis Joplin and Patty Smith!not wrestling but still!LOL

 

[Tryingtodoitright]

Not trying to continue down this path, but Stevie Nicks is 78, Patti Smith is 80 and Janis Joplin is dead. I wonder if my view of ‘beautiful’ is slightly different than yours…
It’s a given that female wrestling fans Are the hottest of all female sports fans.

NWA and later WCW regularly made appearances there.

Between 78, 80, and dead, that's right in tully's wheelhouse.

well I am 76 so what's your point?

 

[SkiSkiSki]

Altoona has its own variety of Pizza so it has that going for it!

I was born in Altoona and spent my childhood years growing up 15 miles away. The only thing I would do with that pizza is let it dry until it is hard and use it to shingle my roof.

 

[Tryingtodoitright]

I apologize, with due respect I forgot who I was talking to, seriously.

 

[TwoJoints]

I too grew up 15 miles (in my case, north) of Altoona and I fully support your usage of those square pieces of pizza. I was more of an East End Pizza guy.

 

[Goggles Paisano]

I hope you don't think I am talking now I am 76 I mean in their prime!but stevie now yes!

I think his best chance is with Janis.

 

[District 4]

This is by far the longest ******* week ever lllleeeeeeets goooooo

 

[tullfan68]

I apologize, with due respect I forgot who I was talking to, seriously.

LOL

I think his best chance is with Janis.

that could be true I will be dead soon so again what's your point?

 

[Nitlion1986]

LOL

In appreciation of dark humor, I believe that was his point.

 

[tullfan68]

well I don't think that is correct at all dark or not!not humor I would put up!

I remember taking my son and a couple of team mates up to Camp Maple Lake for the Russ Houk wrestling camp around 1993-1994 and stoping in Altoona at the ONLY Sheetz that existed then. There was a sort of amusement area, go karts, putt putt etc. next door called The Meadows and we hung out there a couple of hours got some fantastic frozen custard and got back on the road. They always did Russ Houk and then Lockhaven Intensive the next week. It was a long drive from western WV but they learned a lot.

 

[PAgeologist]

The hogans heroes guard tower was pretty good too

They seemed to trot out an endless supply of hotties on that show. Especially for a show based at a POW camp.

 

[tullfan68]

I guess he could if the ref forgets to blow the action dead when they go out of bounds

true I am sure he will try to get to the OB as much as possible!
