August 16, 201610 yr I was confused what exactly you were asking.That's not the first time, and it certainly won't be the last!
August 16, 201610 yr I was confused what exactly you were asking.Glad I wasn't the only one. That was like backwards trivia. What is the Yukon now known as that it wasn't known as before but actually was.
August 16, 201610 yr What is known as what? The Yukon Territory is still the Yukon Territory. Do you mean the Klondike? The Klondike Gold Rush?I was going to say Dawson City.............because I didn't know what the hell he was talkin' 'bout!

August 16, 201610 yr Great intro Brian. Got me thinking about rare events and golf. About 30 years ago my dad was driving through Iowa on his way to a family reunion. He had some time to kill so he stopped when he saw a sign for an estate sale at an old farm house. The estate sale wasn't supposed to start for another hour but he walked in anyway. While browsing the house he overheard two old ladies talking about a golf ball. One of them said. "it looks like someone signed this golf ball". The other woman said, "who signed it"? The other woman said, "It looks like someone named Babe Ruth". The other lady replied, "wasn't he a baseball player"? The other woman said, "I think so"... So my dad walked over and said, "what are you ladies looking at". They said, "it's a golf ball signed by Babe Ruth. Wasn't he a baseball player"? My dad said, "I think so, how much do you want for it"? They said is $10 ok? He said "ok". The way my dad explained it to me, the worst thing that could happen was he would own a $10 golf ball. He gave it to me when he got home and I held onto it. Fast forward many years (through college, marriage, kids, job transfers, etc.) My wife and I were living in Philadelphia and I was cleaning out some closets. I found the golf ball and decided to find out more about it. Turns out one of the biggest Babe Ruth authenticators was about 20 minutes from my office. I decided to call him and explain what I had. He said to stop by so I did. He looked at it for about two minutes and said it was the real thing. Imagine that! The old man found a real Babe Ruth autographed golf ball. Unfortunately my dad had passed away a few years earlier. He would have gotten a good laugh about that one. Still have it today. It's worth a good amount of money but I keep it more for the memory of my dad more than anything. True story.
August 16, 201610 yr Platoon is right. Let's all stop the fussin and a-feudin, and head over to the Olympic Volleyball thread for some civil conversation.
August 16, 201610 yr Van was confused also!That happens a lot. Especially when multi tasking during the day!
August 16, 201610 yr Just say no. I don't think we are supposed to. But I still don't know why Chi doesn't like VB?
August 16, 201610 yr Platoon is right. Let's all stop the fussin and a-feudin, and head over to the Olympic Volleyball thread for some civil conversation.No shame with plugging the thread. Love it!
August 16, 201610 yr Just a moment for thought; July 2016 had the highest global average daily temperature of any month in recorded human history. More thought: the A/C at my office has been broken for over a week now. The repair company has been waiting to get a large enough crane to lift the new motor to the roof of the building. Small is beautiful.
August 16, 201610 yr That happens a lot. Especially when multi tasking during the day!I'm not sure surfing TD and Klondike Wikipedia at the same time qualifies as multi tasking.
August 16, 201610 yr I'm not sure surfing TD and Klondike Wikipedia at the same time qualifies as multi tasking.What would a Vanimal do for a Klondike Bar?
