I remember gas wars but the lowest price I remember is about 23 cents.

Class of '69 - 45-year anniversary this year - can you believe it? I still feel young.

Satchel Paige - "How old would you...

I'm not sure that's totally true although I never had to deal with it to any degree in orthopaedics. Pego, Dr Jay - what's your opinion? I have heard it works well for some people with seizure...

In high school (1966-69) I worked at Mr Hamburg, which tried to be a local chain to compete against McDonald's (they didn't survive long). Here were the menu prices:

Actually, DJ, the AAU had the NAAA as its predecessor, and the predecessor of the NAAA was the NYAC Fall Meet.

Just got my issue of the Smithsonian today. Half of the issue is about the Star Spangled Banner, on its 200th anniversary. Looks pretty good.

So who else attended a one-room schoolhouse? I did, too, in the 1st grade, actually, 1957-58, but then we went upscale to a new school and had separate classes.

Sadly, the lanes are not given in the 1964 Official Report nor in the Official Results. We do not have them in our database. For the semis they are likely in the Program for that day - I'll check if...

I think its actually the same age as the US National Championships. That started in 1876 (it was actually the 7th Annual Fall Meet of the New York AC), and I think the IC4A also started in 1876.

Many meds on the WADA proscribed list have no medical evidence of being performance enhancing in well-controlled medical studies.

all depends on your taste; I can't imagine a much worst waste of my time than watching cycling.

If you wanna talk great moments in sport, then the sheer artistry of Federer/Djokovic today has to...

wow! couldn't get far into that one without tearing up![/quote]

Amazing version. Didn't tear up but did get goosebumps listening to it.

About 5 years ago my wife and I got to see MTC perform...

Stars and Stripes Forever for me - any version but Boston Pops is good. Or the one on this blog:

That's not a flaw. It is true that sedentary men in general may have higher BP and cholesterol, but without making the two groups mostly homogeneous there were be too many confounding variables to...

Marlow, you're one of my favorite posters on this board, along with jazzcyclist and lonewolf, but that is a very inappropriate analogy. People lie dead at the bottom of Pearl Harbour beneath that...

Microvascular replant surgeons still sometimes use leeches to help with venous return when the veins are too badly damaged to repair.

Nominee for Post of the Year

Bowling was an exhibition sport in 1988. The women's event was won by a Philippine woman - the Philippines has never won a gold medal in a full-medal sport. It is the nation with the most medals but...

What exactly were your PRs, lonewolf, and which events did you compete in??

Really? Faster than Bolt? I loved Hayes but hard for me to put him above Bolt. Shoes, parking lot, or anything.

In that case, the first tie-break would be a higher number of goals scored, then head-to-head. Well, that is how I read the rules :wink: .[/quote]

That's correct. So we have the advantage on...

Didn't we just have a thread on Owens v Peacock?

Ken Patera has to be the highest-level shot putter / clean & jerk total, I would think. Can't think of anyone since him at the top level in both events. C&J was 505 lbs. I don't know his SP PR...

I'm into bodybuilding/bodybuilers, familiar with Eugene Sandow, Sergio Olivia and Park, Larry Scott, Frank Zane and all the others. While Park might be more revered he wasn't as big as Ferrigno....
