I was the youngest and can relate to that.

Now I need someone to get up and change the channel and adjust the rabbit ears.

I cannot - which is why I asked what it was like. I am still waiting for them to start broadcasting the games on channel 29 again.

From the radio - hard to tell - did Sano almost collide and crush with Eddie or is Gladden being over-dramatic?

I wonder if it still has the big government cheese block. I wonder how much second hand smoke I took in. Even eating pizza at Leaning Tower -- people were still smoking in restaurants. I used to vote at the Jefferson grade school. Do Ember's exist anymore?

I did like living there - walking distance from Liquor Lyle's and Leaning Tower. Title Wave became a Hollywood Video and is now fine dining. Actually there were three video stores within a block and a half -- times change.

It has been a busy year so have not posted as much (and as the this thread suggests - the threads have trended more negatively), but will try to participate bit more for the rest of the year (hopefully deep into October). Semi-related -- am adopting 1.5 year old dog tomorrow, part of my posting will be if she is understands the importance and quietly listens to the game as I post While they are fun -- you always forget how much time and energy younger dogs can take up.

Hey - been awhile since I posted - but have been wondering who did Squirrel used to be? I missed the name change, or did the real Rally Squirrel recently joined the forum and has simply had the time to post over 24,000 times in a few weeks? And if it is the real Rally Squirrel - is it true you are trying to sabotage TC Bear so you can be the primary woodland mascot for the Twins? I heard you might have spiked his honey with something that made him act inappropriately at some fan event and is now taking sensitivity classes. I am starting to think the early part of the season might not have been a fluke.

Plus where I lived two of those channels were the same station (10 and 13 were both ABC). Every once in a while we would get channel 2 from Thunder Bay where they had a Captain Kangaroo type show, but he was a giant who lived in a castle - so that was exciting. Remember when the stations would actually sign-off (before all-night infomercials or commercials for 1-976 numbers) and you would see one of these two screens: http://s3.amazonaws.com/opa-photos/photos/photos/000/060/737/original/RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.jpg?1469575890 Then when they started broadcast in the morning, they would first play the Star Spangled Banner.

Yes - I graduated in '86, and anyone who had a car, it was far from new, whether it was technically their car or their parents let them use the "second" car.

I used to love those games above... We also used to play a paper version of battle ship in the car. Speaking of battleships - this was the car: Also old enough to remember when the remote control was the youngest person in the room.

Back in my day it was harder to take a selfie with your phone. instead you used something called a camera and had to drop off something called film to be developed before you saw your pictures.

I watched the first season of Dark -- last summer I think. I might have even posted about it on this thread. I remember thinking the first episode or two were pretty creeopy, but was more annoyed by the time it ended. I haven't decided whether to watch season 2 or not. Good to know about the subtitles, it might be more effective hearing the real voices -- some of the dubbing seemed a bit off emotion-wise.

Was he carrying gift baskets? [i feel creepy just typing that.]

I remember listening to the Twins on WELY. If you were lucky, you could hear some good Polka music beforehand. This team has a little bit of power... And then some - WOW!

About anything - there could be a story about a collie saving a boy from a well - followed by a bunch of negative comments, half of them somehow working a gripe about the Vikings and Twins in there even though it was not a sports story.

There was noting to worry about, as expected. That was the first time CC has lost at Target Field?

I seem to remember it being decent for awhile - not so much by the time it was pulled. I would occasoinally go to the KFAN boards if I wanted to feel very toxic, altough their Twins board was light and happy compared to the Vikings board. I believe that is also no longer in existence. I have a feeling that last play lost something in translation on the radio.

Hmm -- some of the between inning things - mascot races - quiz shows could use some spicing up - might be an element to add to freshen things up.

I don't suppose the Yankee bullpen is similar to our in quality. I could live with that.

This reminds me of tings I learned to do in my high school computer math class using Basic on the mighty Apple 2e. Skill that did not lead to a lucrative career in computer programing. This is not exactly a pitcher's duel.

I don't have cable, so am usually listening on the radio. My downstairs neighbor watches every game. I often hear him shout a good 30 seconds after I heard the play on the radio. This is kind of a strange game - but am not complaining....

Glad they listened to you.

Is that a crack about Chief or River Brian?

Maybe the spider clip is misleading and she is really friendly like Charlotte. She was probably just going to give him directions out of the swamp.
