Foxy, lovely to see you again. Missed you.
Thanks Panzade. I've been around. And I miss all you crazy people way too much to stay away for too long.
My grandfather was a three pack a day man, and his health suffered terribly as he got older. I knew he quit cold turkey when I was a child, but never knew the reason why. Well, his sister, who had money, promised him $1000 dollars if he gave up the habit, a handsome sum at the time. He was motivated, and did indeed quit. It sounds like you are doing great though!
I fear for O'Bill. His Packers got ambushed. I'll bet he snuck one in the fourth quarter.
I thought O'Bill was in Flordia. He's a Packers fan? Sheesh. Don't smoke. Just switch to the Cowboys. They played one of the ugliest games in NFL history today, but they won.
Next week The Boys will most likely play another one of the ugliest games in NFL history.
*I* almost snuck one.

Don't youdare Sozobe. If you're talking about cigs I mean.
So, how about them niners?
(I have never lived in the bay area and don't know the lingo, but I always used to like them. My immediate neighbor in LA/Venice was and, I presume still is, rabid. I'd be disappointed if he wasn't. Though he and wife split and live not next door to our old place anymore.
But - this will creep you out - I was in love with Paul Hornung before either Bill or Soz were born. Take that!
It's true, it was when he was at Notre Dame I was a gaga teen, but I followed him for a while after that. Pftui.
But this reminds me of Alex Karras. Alex Karras was a funny guy. He was nabbed with Hornung in some skulduggerous stuff which I don't remember much about. But before all that, I think I saw - could it be? Alex Karras and Burt Reynolds on the Tonight show with Carson. I remember it was hilarious. Certainly the best I have seen of Reynolds re having a brain. And I know Karras had one.
I suppose no one else has heard of these people.
Ok, I see they were both on the Tonight show in 1971, but the link doesn't show them together on it. And I remember it as one of the really funny riffs I'd seen.
Ah, carry on. Avoid cigs.
Dear Osso...what would A2k be without you?
No smokes, just tears. Tom Rossley must go. Disgusted.
Easy now Bill! One fumble doths not a season make.
Hold your dominion as they say here.
I've had a smile etched on my face ever since the Packer's loss.
I'm gonna run out to the tool shed and grab a crowbar -- see if I can pry this thing off.
guffaw...when you're done with yours, can you pry mine off?
