    Conversation at my home today

    Me: Son, I'll pay you $50.00 to power wash the sidewalk. Son (wearing nice Everton away shirt): Ok. Me: Take that shirt off though, I don't want you potentially ruining it. Son: I don't have any other shirts. Me: Yes you do. I don't want you wearing that shirt. Son: Well what do you...

    SR-71 pilot trolls fighter pilot

    Still one of my favorite stories about the famous SR-71 Blackbird: There were a lot of things we couldn’t do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact. People often asked us if, because of this fact, it was fun to fly the jet...

    My friend who introduced me to Everton

    I just found out a few hours ago that the friend who introduced me to Everton Football Club close to some 20 years ago passed away today. He had been battling cancer for the past five years. I'm pretty sure he was from Liverpool (Wirral) but he lived and worked here in the USA. When people...

    Commercial Airliners

    Ok, so I'm a huge airliner nut. Love looking at pictures of airliners, watching Youtube videos of take offs and landings. Fascinated with air traffic control. When I was younger, I'd go down to the airport and take pictures of various planes. Now, I'll sit there with Flightradar24 up on my...

    My next project...a former mod tells all.

    As a former mod, I'm working with a publisher on a tell all book on the behind the scenes at Grand Old Team. I think I can get a seven figure advance up front unless @GrandOldTeam wants to pay more. But it will have it all and it won't be one of these limp efforts like Roy Keane's...

    One thing I miss as Mod...

    ...being able to post in a locked thread. A mod could always get the last word in. Alas, no more. Sigh.

    Aces cracked.

    Playing in a 1/3 game tonight. Started with $200. In the space of 10 minutes, was up to $300. Table started getting a bit crazy. Raise, reraise, etc.... One guy was a guaranteed raiser. Decided to bide my time and wait for something to trap with. Woke up with AA and was second to act...

    Favorite ESPN Sportscenter commerical

    For some reason, I got to thinking about how poor our defense was and how important it is to silverware aspirations. That brought me back to my all time ESPN Sportscenter commercial here in the USA. They've been doing these commercials as long as I can remember but this one for me (which is...

    ESPN 30 for 30: Hillsborough

    Just a note for our American GOT'ers. ESPN's 30 for 30 series is doing a piece on Hillsborough on Tuesday night, April 15, at 8pm EDT on ESPN. If you've ever watched anything that's been under the 30 for 30 banner, I'm guessing this piece will be very well done.

    4th or no Europe at all?

    Just curious as to what my fellow Evertonians think. I know that Europe is an admirable and desirable target for Everton but I'm not so sure that I'd want to get into to the Europa League. I could construct pros and cons for both but for me I'd rather swerve it if we don't get fourth. 1)...

    It really is that simple, too bad the FA won't act.

    Diving. Cheating. Conning the referee. Three man panel that looks at video evidence of any potential diving or cheating. Ex-player. Ex-referee. Ex-manager. Automatic three match ban for being found guilty of going down in the box when there was no contact or very minimal contact but...

    Apology to Dannyboy & GOT

    After further reflection (read: I had a night to sleep on it) I've come to the conclusion that an apology is in order to both Dannyboy and to the forum as a whole. I understand that mods are held to a higher standard but my hasty reaction in the since binned thread was over the top and out of...
