Eddie Bernal of Colombia won the Tour de France at age 22 for a double play of youngest since WWII and first from South America.

I've only seen the name as "Egan Bernal".

Easy FJ!

Somewhere I have a Hotel California LP. Back in my day we didn't call it vinyl, kiddies.

If I may be so bold, perhaps the thread could be renamed "2019-2020" to cover all of the next season.

... I added a line on Saran's page: http://www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=4150 ... I met and played pub trivia with her a few years back. She was introduced to me as "Saran". At one point, she, I, and the venerable Rex Kramer played on the same team. I remember Rex showing her her games...

BOOK CHAPTERS $200: Chapter 21 of this classic is "Laurie Makes Mischief, and Jo Makes Peace" If you see "Jo" in the top box go with Little Women or the author Alcott. It does not matter whether someone is familiar or not with Laurie. Certainly reading the book or seeing a movie version is not nece...

The good thing about the Viewmaster was the rotating system. Not only that but it didn't require printing and enlargement to paper cards which were more susceptible to warping/bending, mold, water damage, sticking to each other, dirt/scratches, etc. etc. Cared for well, films on Viewmaster discs fr...

Emma came down hard on the d in mood to separate it from the d in disorder. That's all....

I'm glad she made sure to get in that first "d".

I wouldn't have wanted to see her negged for "moo disorder", which is, btw, something to discuss with the vet.

Musician Leon Redbone dies at 69.

New Orleans musician Dr. John, né Malcolm John Rebbenack, dies at 77.

He and Redbone recorded a duet of "Frosty the Snowman" of all things.

I'm curious though; aside from the fact that Spain is the answer, is there some detail that eliminates Emma's--and my--response of Norway from consideration? I would assume the implication was that it would be a country that would not normally be on GMT+1 due to its location with respect to Germany...

You know, I just don't get this smart wager theory. Yeah, he locked out the third guy with his bet to lock in what... a GRAND? ... The bet was not about $1k. It was about closing one avenue to a loss he could control while keeping open the two avenues to a win, which were ultimately out of his cont...

I'm bumping this since Woof has been on way too long, we need to get some money to Robert, and I have no idea what the queue looks like at this point. $10/month supports us. Such a deal! Anyone? I'd still like to take a month in memory of Mrs OS and to thank this community. To fill some of the deta...

...I actually am indifferent, but wish not to be provocative....

Your new avatar, if not provocative, is open to interpretation.

New record. This is the kind of game in which I really wanted him to find all the DDs to see what kind of bets he would make. Only thing is I wonder if he would have been able to come up with "pruning hooks." That was a rough one, wasn't it? Not something you're likely to guess if you don't know it...

There's a brief interview with James in the latest Sports Illustrated. No, not the swimsuit issue. Quite a bit on his sports gambling techniques and how it was applied to J!

Anyone else sing along to the disco category? .... .... ...just me? Hmph. Instaget FJ. Maybe he was gunshy after missing two DDs, but I'd have gone all-in if I were Conor.

I ran a quick analysis of the numbers from my user profile.

We are nearing (or perhaps just passed) 300,000 postings to the board. Rounding errors, you know.

I was more surprised to find that I still have posted about 1 in 150 posts to the board despite being much less active over the last 3 years.
