Mr. Peppermint ...or... Gibby Haynes ???

DFW Grand Prairie AirHogs ...OR... Cleburne Railroaders ??? #indyball

Big League Chew Jim Bouton ...OR... Bill Lee ???

I see you guys are still working on your standup acts :P

Bulova KGKB ...or... KDOK ???

Coin flip ... tails ... the one with "Hell" in its title REO Speedwagon song that best describes what people on the Gulf Coast should do this weekend: "Ridin' The Storm Out" ...OR... "Take It On The Run" ? ? ?

Soccer, begrudgingly... Most irritating modern political discourse tactic: Straw Man ...OR... Slippery Slope ...OR... Whataboutism ???

...when the nuance of sarcasm is lost in social media :P

'back to sleeping on your brother-in-law's couch, buddy ... #geez

I'm new to politics, so please excuse my laymen tone... is all of this normal ??? :ermm:

Both were horrible, but the proverbial "nod" goes to Love American Style -- only because it featured the Happy Days pilot ;) The Streets Of San Francisco ...or... Cannon ???

Dallas, but not Tyler ??? :ermm:

King Kong Better Perry Mason supporting character: Paul Drake ...or... Hamilton Burger ???

Rocky Better command of the English language among late-50s/early-60s TV characters: Gerald Lloyd "Kookie" Kookson III ...OR... Eddie Haskell ? ? ?

Well ... I only hope you FEEL better after that CHILDISH rant :P :D :lol:

...I just wish there was a place in Tyler to pick it up :( We're Alright! Including another cover of a Move tune:

^ attack the poster, very clever, very TRUMP :D You're right - he had a loving LEAVE IT TO BEAVER childhood - my mistake :P

Nope - he just dispises anything that doesn't give him daily affirmation - the sad result of growing up with a verbally abusive father :(

He abuses the term to feed red meat to his base AND YOU KNOW IT - no one has EVER claimed that ANY show biz media outlet is 100% honest ... :P

O... You haven't lived :lol:

Yes, just like when President Reality TV Star misuses the term "Fake News" .. but nice pivot, Kellyanne :P

Posterboard checks are cool :lol:
