    It’s been fun, but even if they change the name of the airport, they ain’t gonna change the airport code.
    ORD, ATL, SNA, IAH :geek:

    MCO FTW

    technically, that second one is Fort Worth - not Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), but Fort Worth Meacham International Airport, which is a general aviation airport that does not offer any scheduled services.

    Had I not grown up in LA, I'd probably be a Pirates fan via mom. She use to talk romantically about listening to the 1960s world series on the radio in her bedroom at night (some games). Either she was listening to the radio or watching on TV when Mazeroski hit that homerun.

    As a yoot in LA, loved watching We Are Family Pirates including the '79 Series. There was a great hot dog stand near the house and my mom would bring home chili-cheese dogs after work, and we'd chow down.

    Several years ago here, Pirates were giving away Mazeroski HR plates, cheesy as all hell but had to have them.

    Pieter and Ria were laughed at for their masterful plan: 'Of course this is never possible'
    Pieter and Ria Stellingwerf's home is as special as it is hallucinatory: a colossal farmhouse balancing upside down on the roof. It is not for nothing that no less than 20,000 kilos of both steel and concrete have been incorporated into the construction. We take an exclusive look at their 'Lânskip'. And the good news: from August you can also stay in their B&B. 'We also thought: how will this last?'

    This is both hilarious and gross. Don't watch/listen if you have just eaten.

     
  19. Swimming at the highest level without a swimming diploma in his pocket - 24-year-old Sean Niewold did it. He has several titles to his name, such as Dutch champion. In between the preparations for the upcoming World Cup in Singapore, he eventually got his A-diploma.

    It's been decades since I thought 20 year olds were hot. I'm pretty much the living embodiment of that joke about professors standing around on move-in day and one of them says "you know you're getting old when you start checking out the mothers and not the freshman girls moving in."
