The Message Forum is an ongoing dialogue among classmates. The goal is to encourage friendly interaction, including interaction among classmates who really didn't know each other. Experience on the site has revealed that certain topics tend to cause friction and hard feelings, especially politics and religion. 

Although politics and religion are not completely off-limits, classmates are asked to be positive in their posts and not to be too repetitive or allow a dialog to degenerate into an argument. 

Forums work when people participate - so don't be bashful! Click the "Post Response" button to add your entry to the forum.

Hull

A few years of that and he might be able to afford a suite next to you and a second (I mean third) home in Santa Fe.

David Cordell

I have to say that that one run by Mahomes was spectacular. Let's see. Mahomes was born in Tyler and went to Texas Tech. Hull lived in Tyler and went to Texas Tech. They could be brothers!

Jerry May

Wasn't a hit in our time.....but not long after!  And like so many greats....he was from Texas!

David Wier

Apparently, the AFC playoff game had some interesting Texas connections.

Both teams moved from Texas - Tennessee from Houston and KC from Dallas

AND

Both quarterbacks played football in Texas high schools - not to mention Mahomes from Tech

Jerry May

 David W,

Very interesting! 

I remember going to about as many Dallas Texans games as Cowboys. 

Also much later, I met Coach Hank Stram right after they took the Super Bowl.....50 years ago!

Really nice guy. Course he was still riding the high of winning the ultimate game!

I usually do not root for AFC teams in the bowl. And of late its been a heavy dose of the New England Patriots!

This time though....because I hate the 49ers........and love watching the Chiefs and Mahomes play it WILL BE the AFC Im pulling for. 

Besides I'm an Andy Reid admirer......and want him to finally WIN the BIG ONE!~j

Back in the day.....when the Cowboys finally won the BIG ONE......I can remember Duane Thomas' quote:

"If they call it the ultimate game.....why do they do it again next year!"

Russ Stovall

David;

Your post on sex and golf is awesome.

Steve Keene

Russ,

I agree with you on David's post.  As Johnny Carson might say,,"I bet his putter still stands up a few times a month."

David Cordell

For the uninitiated, Steve is referring to an appearance by Arnold Palmer on the Tonight Show. Palmer revealed that his wife rubbed his (golf) balls before every round. Carson then asked, "Does it make your putter stand up?" I think it was rubbed, not kissed, but you can take your choice. Or maybe not.

Lowell Tuttle

Reminds me of the Dizzy Dean TV baseball suspension comment.

My humor is too classy to repeat.

Lowell Tuttle

Some good

music for e-surfing

Steve Keene

Lowell

That may be the best thing you ever posted.  What an outstanding band or music director they must have to put that together and teach them to not miss a beat.  I guess you could call that piece "Not quite so heavy metal."

David Cordell

Oldies -- sexist wife jokes. Sound like Rodney Dangerfield and Henny Youngman.

Suggestions for a perfect marriage.

1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.
3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. “Somewhere I haven’t been in a long time!” she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said “There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!” So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn’t running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, “In the lake.”
8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, “Am I too late for the garbage?” The driver said, “No, jump in!”.
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn’t know her first name was ‘Always’.
12. I haven’t spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don’t like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, “What’s on the TV?” I said, “Dust!”.

And lest we forget "Crazy Train".

Hollis,

Glad to see that they are not one hit wonders...

Friends

Just wanted to let you know that Wine.com is having a $50 per bottle off sale on Caymus wine today.  Might be a good time to stock up before the Kansas City Red Raiders win the superbowl.

Steve Keene

For all my friends who are converting to vegetarianism to be healthy:

Steve Keene

Friends,

Someone on the other site said that they could not find the wine.com promotion.  The promotion is for $50.00 off the first order of at least $150.00 on wine.com if you use promotion code FBPRO50.  The cost of the bottle with the following label is $199.00.

Jan

Please come back and post again.

Steve Keene

David,

Found this picture of Hull riding at the ranch.

David Cordell

Steve,

First, I guarantee that Hull can ride that baby for more than eight seconds. In fact, he can ride it for the rest of his life!

Second, how many calories in a SquirrelBurger with a glass of Caymus?

Steve Keene

David,

That was supposed to be a peace offering to Jan so she might start posting with us again.

David Cordell

Steve,

I know! I was teasing with regard to the impossible burgers. 

Steve Keene

David

Squirrel is surprisingly lean.  Expecially after winter when they are not chock full of nuts.

Steve Keene

Jan,
