Mine is The Bayside Bears
He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

What was Scranton's mascot Kly? What were your school colors? Mine was red and black. Funny thing, the middle school I work at now has the same school colors. Isn't there a professional team called the Vikings Olivant? Seems like a Michigan team maybe???? Then you know how much I know about sports. TIS

In college we were the Fordham Rams. Ahh, you're a Jesuit boy, like me. Fordham was the alma mater of Gordon Liddy, I believe. Our college name was the Royals. We were purple and white. We won a Division III national championship in basketball in a game, played in Wisconsin. Before the game most of us ate at a Burger King where someone got the idea of wearing the paper crowns to the game (like low budget Royals). The game was aired on ESPN and the analyst made some cracks about our crowns throughout the game.

UK schools don't have anything like cool names or mascots which is a shame. Any school team i played for was just called the first team. Boring Things may have changed however,my 2 eldest boys who play football (outside of school) have names for their teams now. Andrew plays for the Longbenton Mags and Mikey plays for the Longbenton Lions.
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

I had to search for this thread because I was in Manhattan early this morning. I think I've posted about my 97 year old aunt in the past. The woman is amazing. She owns an 8 family walkup apartment building on West 8th Street in Greenwich Village and she's still very much hands on. Every bit the landlady. I do, however, help her out with a good portion of the legal issues (namely landlord-tenant issues). Anyway, this morning I get down there at about a quarter to seven. She has my breakfast on the table, which was great. But here's the reason for the post: She still uses old jelly jars as drinking glasses! Does any one remember this but me and my insane (often frugal) Italian family? I guess before disposable cups and tupperware became so widely available, people were less likely to throw glass containers away? I'm sure TB could give me an answer. 97 years old. Very fortunate in terms of her financial situation. And still serving orange juice out of an old jelly jar . Only in America.
