OK,

I'll be the first......where was the picture taken?

I am a fool for a good sale.

Judging by the area code on the partial phone number and the appearance of the buildings I would venture to guess that the picture was either taken in Brooklyn or Queens NY.

Though Times Square is now a mecca for vacationing families in fanny packs to get their picture taken with hobos that have a sign that says "Why lie, I need a beer," a few blocks outside the Crossroads of the World can still be a little dodgy.

That is where I took the picture above. "GOING OUT FOR BUSINESS." Uh, didn't one person at the sign printers put a call in to the porn shop and ask if that's really what they wanted to say? You're leaving the area to look for bidness then coming back? You mean "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS," no? We didn't proof this sucker before it was 25 feet of stupidity for all on 8th Avenue to see?

Ha! I'd like to see KR accomplish this is his fancy pants Navy hospital.

"How GP saved boy Nicholas Rossi with a home drill"

A COUNTRY doctor has saved the life of a dying 12-year-old boy by using a household drill to bore into his brain after the boy had a bike accident...

The boy had fractured his skull and torn a tiny artery between the bone and the brain just above his ear. This created internal bleeding that became trapped between his skull and brain and formed into a huge blood clot, placing pressure on the brain.

If Dr Carson did not act within minutes, the boy would die...

The small hospital was not equipped with neurological drills, so Dr Carson obtained a household De Walt drill, used for boring holes in wood, from a hospital maintenance room...

Dr Carson drilled until a blood clot fell out. Blood then kept flowing out. The GP then used forceps to make the drilled hole slightly bigger until it was about 1cm in diameter.

Then a draining tube was placed in to allow the blood to continue to keep flowing out. Nicholas was being transfused with fresh blood in his arm at the same time...

The actions of Dr Carson, assisted by anesthetist David Tynan and a team of hospital nurses, kept Nicholas alive until he was airlifted an hour later to Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital.

BDB,

I am still laughing about that one.

Don't give me that dogcatcher stuff. When we entered the stadium the band played "Here comes the Chief" and I know it wasn't for me.

The highlight of my weekend, you ask? Why, it was having Hamm's with Ritz at the La Playette on Friday night.

Fine damn beer with fine damn company!

Was a great night until the 2:30 am call from the family my daughter was staying with letting me know she was sick and wanted me to come get her!

Fins,

Were you sacked right after the Hamm's? Ritz has been known to give up a few.

This coming from the man who mastered the "Look Out!!!" block...

Hello! Long time reader, first time poster here. Now that I am graduating college I feel like joining PP is the next step in furthering my MIAC football experience.

Willy Wonka will probably guess who I am but I will say that I am a former Olaf player (played through this past season). I have read and enjoyed PP for the past few years and am really looking forward to joining the passionate discussions about MIAC football.

I don't plan on being one of those posters who shows up for like 4 posts and is never heard from again.

Peace- OleHog

Welcome -- we need more consistent St. Olaf contributions, to be sure!

Welcome to the site! I hope you can hang in there with all of our banter--we seem to scare a good share of posters off. We'll appreciate the recent-grad insight. I used to be that guy (except I was a svelte, intelligent d-lineman, not a dumb, fat, o-lineman)...6 years ago

OleHog74 · May 20, 2009, 02:47:49 PM

Well it wasn't THAT difficult to guess lol.

I just know Wonka because he went to college with my sister and brother-in-law.

OleHog74 · May 20, 2009, 02:50:34 PM

No worries, I don't scare easily, but I will say that the past two years of Olaf/Johnny games have left a sour taste in my mouth (not anything negative towards the Johnnies but rather just from being so close) so you can expect me to fervently defend my Oles come gametime!

We expect nothing less

Oh, and I wouldn't be so quick to associate with Wonka. He's the scourge of Post Patterns
