And as I've mentioned before, Bostondevil bought me dinner in Charleston in 2009 when I was still a graduate student and still exceedingly poor.
Lastly, I've gotten together with Lavabe quite a few times. He used to live in Atlanta and work at Emory while I was also there, and he still passes through from time to time.
Me, too! I think we got there early just to make sure we didn't miss the response. The 80s were the best student crowds. Just sayin'!Quote:

I didn't want to start a new thread on this, but anyone here familiar with the Michael Peterson case? His first wife, Patricia, mother of Clayton and Todd, died early last month. She was living in an apartment in Durham . . . with Michael Peterson.
"Patty Peterson was in generally good health, but started feeling poorly late Wednesday night, Clayton Peterson said.
Michael Peterson called their son Todd Peterson, who lives nearby, who came over and called 911, Clayton said.
Patty Peterson died at the hospital Thursday night surrounded by her ex-husband and their sons, Clayton said."
Anyone else think maybe, given his track record, that an investigation might be in order?
I thought he was in jail.Quote:

Fame Hits Us From Behind -- That Devil!
By Ken Denlinger
February 12, 1985
The Dukies tore into him with shockingly poor taste, I thought. They cluttered the court with women's undergarments and chanted filth at him on the foul line.
I thought their little-Devil bottoms ought to have been paddled, and was angry that no administrator rushed to the courtside microphone to call for mercy.
I said they were "majoring in smartass."
They hated the column, but thought the description apt.
An enterprising senior, Jon Blank, designed a T-shirt with a sly-looking Devil holding a pitchfork in one hand and twirling a basketball.
"Cameron Chaos" is lettered on the Devil's horns; "Duke's Sixth Man" is below his tail.
On the back is "Majoring in smartass," my name and the date of the column.
Somehow, I missed out on that bit of excitement. It must have happened during one of my (many) self-imposed vacations from that thread. I give myself vacations from the coronavirus thread too.Quote:

We were discussing lawnmowers in this thread. I used to check in on the beer thread every once in awhile. I happened to do it around the same time. The denizens of the beer thread spent several posts remarking how beer was much more interesting than lawnmowers. Since those comments proved to me that the beer folks actually read this thread, I posted something here along the lines of - if you want to talk about nothing, join us, if you want to talk about beer, talk about beer, but don't come here and steal our ideas for talking about nothing and put them in the beer thread. Post in the LTE what belongs in the LTE. As far as I know, that comment was not taken as a playful poke but more as a gauntlet thrown.Quote:

Oh, I have my own theories about all of this, and he is not "innocent" in any of them. Deaver's testimony has no influence on this. But yes, Deaver messed up big time.Quote:

I don’t intend to relitigate the beef between threads. I will simply say that those that helped provoke it know who they are, or surely should. And that we are worse off for having lost a number of very good posters and people.
Sorry to the extent my post may have led to the issue resurfacing. That certainly was not my intent.

Now mind you I am close personal friends with these customers and went to dinner with them last night where I learned of this. I am going to let this play out because they have absolutely no background with this customer and they are going to screw this up. Then we will have a chat about how we move forward.

Yeah, this doesn't appear to have actually been one but I have been in a pretty rough one in Cali. Was in a grocery store at the time and lots of stuff came off the shelf.

David Lee Roth's solo effort is there. As the owner of about a dozen albums on that list, VH likely escapes it because they had too much of their good stuff pre-81. Though 1984 was likely their Top 40/mainstream peak, none of the other bands can claim much of/ if any real success pre-'81. They appear to have time bound that list strictly to '81-'91.Quote:

Sometimes toddlers do that - they can run fevers when they are teething for example.Quote:

They have long range sprays you can use, but you should turn off all of the lights and do it at dusk or after. Then spray the crap out of the nest.Quote:
