OT Things to ponder

I remember, somewhere in the '80s, being at a home game of the Cardinals, the visitors being the hated and despised Mets. 9th inning, bases loaded, Tommy Herr hits a walk off grand slam. Sweet.

As a Mets fan [:'(] I do have to admit that I really liked the Cardinals teams of the mid 80's,
they were fun to watch. I caught Cardinals opening day in '83 when I was in St. Louis to catch my MAC flight to Okinawa.
I went a few days early to explore the city and was in the Arch and noticed the traffic going to Busch Stadium,
walked over and got a nosebleed seat for the game. Had a couple of beers at a bar in LaClede's Landing (sp?)
afterwards and it was flooded for a couple of blocks up from the waterfront.

Neither one did a damn thing for me. Can I have Mary Ann instead or is that not a choice?

Que? [&:] [:(]

Orm,

A quintessential question asked of "red blooded American men" (RBAM) of our age range is the perennial "Ginger or Mary Ann?" Meaning, if you were stranded on a dessert island (or even if you weren't), would you prefer to avail yourself of the company of 'Mary Ann' or 'Ginger'-both roles from the popular television show "Gilligan's Island" from the 1970s.

Mary Ann is a rustic farm girl ("The girl next door") with homespun charm and good looks. Ginger hails from the Hollywood high finance set and is a sultry blonde.

My unofficial polling shows >80% of the aforementioned RBAM will choose Mary Ann.

Given the choice, Warspite1, being neither red blooded nor an American male keeps asking prying questions about the Skipper's personal life.

Though Ginger was a ginger, ie redhead. I never saw the appeal in high maintenance women and Ginger was definitely high maintenance.

I just looked up Gilligan's Island on IMDB for the heck of it and Ginger and Mary Ann are the one two from the cast still around.

It's amazing what it takes to get a forumite from 2006 who has a grand total of 125 posts thus far to post again. I don't remember specifically the flooding of that year but I do certainly of 10 years later. There was this Cajun restaurant I frequented name of Guidry's. It was not far from the river and in '93 it was somewhat under water at some point. I remember it being reported in the Post-Dispatch, with pictures, that they were harvesting crawdads from out of the floodwater, from inside the restaurant, and cooking them, and dare I say, eating them. That was just awesome. Needless to say, that restaurant never re-opened and I don't have a good place to go to get good Cajun or Creole. That is simply not acceptable but I don't know what to do.

Either Ginger or Maryanne would be fine. Both would be better.

Unfortunately with my luck, I'd be stuck on an island with some guy with a beard who belches, farts, picks his nose and scratches his backside.....or some gal with a beard who belches, farts, picks her nose and scratches her backside.

MRS Warspite1

Hello. Mr Warspite won't be coming back to the forum for a very long time. I am, as we speak, stirring his now detached man parts into a soup I am making. Sorry, just got to be careful I don't catch my beard in the hot liquid.....

I am beginning to think that Mrs Warspite1 is the perfect combination. Both brains and beauty. And I think you try to hide that fact from us by constantly claiming the opposite.

you boys are showing your age .....

I must say, I once toured a fiberglass plant (AKER) in Elkhart (not far from you) and the women working there were smoking hot! I could be wrong since I was breathing a lot of fumes from the fiberglass producing process (acetone and other nice stuff) and may have been delusional.

Actually this is my second login here on the forums, first one from 2004 got lost in the ether.
Always been more of a lurker than poster though, when I've had questions about this game the answers
for the most part have been already been given by some of the very knowledgeable people here.

Edit: Just did a search of the member list and my old login is still there [X(] didn't realize that I'd joined
back in 2000 and the last post on it was in 2002. Wonder if I can get Matrix to reset the password coz I can't
remember it... Would be nice to go back to that one.

Well put it this way Ormster. Mrs W is 4'2, has a humpback, a clubfoot, more body hair than bubbles the monkey, but with a receding hairline and suffers with a skin condition so bad that she's known as the Singing Detective (not to her face of course).

But hey, beauty's only skin deep right?

Substance is what counts, mate. What's her opinion on Bismarck - sunk or scuttled?

Well in addition to being somewhat "aesthetically challenged", Mrs Warspite is not exactly well read, nor is she particularly good at explaining things, given her lack of patience and notoriously sharp tongue and even hotter temper.

I did, rather absent mindedly, raise the question at the breakfast table one morning but was met with such a stream of invective that I have vowed, for the sake of my own well-being, not to bring the subject to the fore any more.

Mrs Warspite's considered opinion the Bismarck question

[Drags on her roll up cigarette] "Bismarck? Bismarck? What the **** is a ****** Bismarck? Eh? Just what is you ******** going on abaht nah you no good sack of ****. I ain't gonna tell you what the **** happened to no ******** Bismarck cos I don't know what the **** you're even talkin' abaht. Now, be a good boy and shut the **** up while I 'ave me fag and me hair of the dog [Burp].

Is she the Piranha brothers' younger sister? [:D]

Well I don't know too much about her family. There were some shady looking characters at the wedding but I didn't feel I really wanted to exchange pleasantries if you know what I mean.

So she's from that alternate universe in the Twilight Zone episode?
