DOZIER

[Danchat]

Another Dozier solo HR!!!!!!!!!

[Aggies7]

Yay

[D. Hocking]

 

Couple of months ago, my daughter attempted to take a dig at me and my age.  She didn't go nearly as hard at me as she could have.

 

"Yeah, remember that, Dad?  Back when you had to flip your phone?"

 

Sadly, I still have a flip phone, but when I flip it I can pretend I am on the original Star Trek getting ready to beam up, so it is not completely a bad thing.

 

I remember when I thought the people who had push button dialing had fancy phones.

DOZIER

[ashbury]

Man, I was just about to say that DOZIER!!!!'s eyes looked like he was locked in. But he went to 0-2 on that PA and I chickened out.

I'm still flipping mine.

 

I don't want a phone smarter than me. I've got a wife for that.

[Mill1634]

Sure would be nice if Dozier wasn't hitting leadoff

I have a push butt on copier.

Back in 1973... One good show would give the network the entire night because nobody wanted to actually get up and change the channel. 

Yeah, but that particular lineup made pretty much every other network not even try.

[Blake]

Man, this Dozier home run thing is getting old.

 

/really late April Fool!

[Doubles]

If we're talking old sitcoms and WKRP in Cincinnati doesn't come up, that's an Andy Travisty.

 

To stay on topic, the episode where the station takes on hated rival WPIG in a softball game is an absolute riot.  You know the one.  Les tries to avenge a childhood wrought with violin lessons instead of ballgames by trying to round up enough players around the WKRP office to field a team.  He gets only one taker-  Jennifer Marlowe.  "It will be a great chance for me to try out my jogging shorts."  

 

To which every other office member quickly responds with a decisive, "I"m in..."

[D. Hocking]

 

Every Tuesday night at 9:29 on CBS:  "Book him, Dano!"  (Allowing for the occasional..."Dano, book him!")

 

I was really thrown when occasionally he would go "Book him Kono".

 

It was on after my bed time, but I loved the wave, so I would sneak out of my bedroom when I thought they were about to have a commercial break to watch the wave from down the hall way.

 

I am now starting to think my childhood was perhaps a little pathetic.

You're a smart man to say that.

FIFY

That's assuming somebody else could get on base.

Even Bailey?

[D. Hocking]

WKRP for the Thanksgiving episode alone is worthy of a mention.  They just started playing it again on one of the antenna TV channels.

Either you have zero shreads of self-respect left, or your wife clearly reads this message board.

 

What's her screen name?

Only just now?

I believe so.

I'm thinking a suggestion to start a rousing game of Guess The Spouse probably would lead only to hard feelings here. Never mind.

[ashbury]

Whoa! Quietly nice foul catch by Rosie!

[D. Hocking]

 

Only just now?

 

I am pretty good at being in denial a lot of the time.

[ashbury]

I believe so.

BRB.

[Pardon My Dinger]

That’s a dinger.

[Riverbrian]

 

Yeah, but that particular lineup made pretty much every other network not even try.

 

Steve: Mom... I got some good news and bad news. 

 

Mom: What's the Good News?

 

Steve: NBC Picked up my pilot. My show is gonna be on television!

 

Mom: That's wonderful... So... What's the Bad News.

 

Steve: The network exec says that nobody will watch it on Saturday Night against the CBS Lineup. It's going to die a slow painful death. 

 

Mom: Good Luck Son... I'm sorry to say I want be watching either.  

[Doubles]

 

That’s a dinger.

You are hereby pardoned!

[kydoty]

The lower deck screen has to be new. I’ve never seen that before at PNC until now.

 

In any case, having a transparent screen as part of your wall is stupid.
