Gerry Sandusky is a sports guy in Baltimore and also does PbP for the Ravens. Someone I know married a guy named Chris Brown.
There was a Will Smith who used to work at Crew games 20 years ago. Also at Crew games, I met a Susan Hunt and her husband Michael. May I die a painful death if any of that is a lie.
Why, I do believe he did. Keep in mind this was in the 00s and I haven't seen him in a long time, although I do occasionally run into Susan.
I went to college with a girl named Judy Goering. Amazingly, she did not find "any relation to Hermann?" at all amusing.
I went to school with a guy whose last name was Bonner. Boy he had a rough middle school (and some high school)
I've got the winner. Literally yesterday, at work, a co-worker told me that a friend of hers knows someone (I know, I know, decide if this is true for yourself) who named her daughter... Chlamydia. Seriously. Apparently, her husband cheated on her while she was pregnant, gave it to her, and she decided to name the kid that to... I don't know, remind him of it every day for the rest of his life?
https://thecatdish.com/musings/did-they-really-name-their-baby-chlamydia/ Check out the names there. As @Bill Archer has been known to say, "Lighten up, Mango." And yeah, I've heard the Chlamydia thing. I doubt it's true, but maybe it is.
Actually there's a book about a US WW II Bomber Pilot with a similar situation--he thought he was related and there was correspondence pre-war between his father and Fat Hermann (that did not survive). It's pretty good book. My cousin gave it to me. The bit about "who one is related to" is always interesting. I have a number of conflicts represented in my family tree: I'm both orange Irish and Irish catholic in my heritage, Revolutionary War vets and Tories, and folks on both sides of the Salem Witch Trials. The latter two are not unusual for those who have New England roots--there just weren't that many people who came over early on. And, of course, my grandmother had a first cousin who served in both the Austro-Hungarian army in WW I and the German army in WW II, while her only son was bomber crew on a B-24. I'm sure a lot of folks here have similar stories.
They stopped the stop the steal campaign for now. The replies are a bunch of cincy fans An Update on the Challenge to the 2024 Nordecke Board Election.#Crew96 | #VamosColumbus https://t.co/KAi4b6huq2 pic.twitter.com/VFubGfMW7Q— The Nordecke ⭐⭐⭐ (@Nordecke) February 13, 2024
It's simple and obvious: the imbecilic responders there just need to pony up the $299 and prove what they claim. In fact, here's a deal: go ahead and put your money where your mouth is. If you're right, myself and my BS brothers-in-drunkenness will reimburse you. (We'll let the unimpeachably honest @Ch(Elsey) hold the money). If you're wrong you agree to stand in the Plaza for the hour prior to the first game wearing a sandwich board that says "I'm an asshole and a sore loser"
Well I'm glad this is all behind us and everything is going to run smoothly with the Nordecke for the future.
The operative phrase being "for now." https://www.facebook.com/share/p/yF6Bk6yQGUQQwwCb/?mibextid=oFDknk Someone else has agreed to pay the $299. If the election was fair, Tim can't post in the group or run for a board position. If Tim is right about it being dodgy, there'll be a full-page Dispatch ad.
I've been gifted a couple tickets to a match in March, so I'll be making my maiden voyage to the Nordecke. So, whose palm do I have to grease for protection?
Bold move by the Nordecke leadership and VIP fans to post the rumors of the Charlie Brown kit to deflect the election lies.
I know that someone had named their kid, seriously, it is pronounced "shi-thee-dah". Yep, they named their kid literally Shitheada.
