    We have our mass killing thread, etc.
    How about a thread for good acts by good people?

    I'll start here.

    7-Eleven owner catches teenage thief. Asks why he's stealing. Instead of having him arrested, he fed him.

    I appreciate the effort.

    I’ll bet the owner and the kid conspired for the publicity.:devilish:

    The festive fancies of our foes will fade when Farmer Frank... flees Fulton County forever... :(

    We're the reason you ain't got the 2018 title, Energy Drinker.
    But we're not the reason you don't have any at all...

    Virginia is the national champion.

    Very good news for me. And for Charlottesville.

    Charlottesville? I hear there are good people on at least a couple of different sides there.

    You forget Farmer Frank fared frightfully for the first four fraught with fairly foul finishes. Finding fresh forwards would be fortunate going forward. :)

    All Pharmer Phrank needed was a dose of Revolution to cure all his ills.

    A few blocks down the road from this sign, you can watch some seventh division football played by Shepshed Dynamo...

    When I was in Little Rock in the mid 50's a group of us went to a club where he was performing. As we arrived we watched him being carried out the back door...ever so slightly inebriated. :coffee:

    I was at the Fan Fest at the 2006 WC and there was a Johnny Cash tribute band playing in the main square. He was singing "Ring of Fire." In German.

    Oh yeah, there were also about 6-7 (each) of white guys dressed like the Harlem Globetrotters and Elvis impersonators. One of the Elvises was French. And they were standing outside a Turkish pizza shop. Multiculturalism at its finest!

    "Elvi" is the plural of Elvis.

    Good news!

    This is the one thread that has not been infected with talk of College Sports or, ugh, Golf.

    (I am sure that I have just ruined this thread).

    The first 33 NCAA championship golf teams were from the Ivy League. The champions then became more open once Michigan won back to back in 1935 and 1936. The last Ivy League champion was Yale in 1943.

    Of course, everyone knows this.
