Back in my day we played Root Beer Tapper and didn’t need those fancy vending machines!

The games against Detroit and Chicago don’t count.

Since it was the Twins, we have to dredge out the time Dave Kingman hit a pop up in the HHH Metrodome and the ball disappeared through a drainage hole in the roof. Ruled a ground-rule double. (5/4/1984)

Iceland starts their World Cup qualifying campaign on September 5th against Ukraine. Two months to work on your Huh claps.

Where are the hoverboards?

This year the winner was Clyde the Lucky Frog.

In at least one episode of The Simpsons Treehouse of Terror, Flanders was the devil. Last one expect.

What about Chip?

Trogdor?

There’s a Seinfeld episode that centers on the English Patient. Given the number of times Seinfeld gets repeated, I’m thinking it gets thought of a lot.

Where’s the Jill St. John in the Robin suit figure?
