1:28pm davefromtoronto:

Dig this jive:

- - -
In 1983 the family of former basketball coach Jim Blake established a memorial scholarship fund in his honor, entrusting the Alumni Association to administer the fund and to select a recipient annually.

This scholarship is for student-athletes--those who demonstrate superior athletic ability in addition to academic excellence.

The Jim Blake Memorial Scholarship Fund is increased each year by contributions from alumni, the family of Coach Blake, and the proceeds of the varsity/alumni basketball game held in December in the basketball gym on campus.

1:52pm Bill W:

If we all could earn just .0001% of Ernie K-Doe's respeck... I figured there was more to Aunt Harriet than that "Good heavens" shtick.

🌮

1:53pm Mailman Tom:

Madge was a natural

🌮

2:01pm Hubig Pie:

If you drove down N. Claiborne ave. in the mid 90's, you would hear K-doe stream of consciousness blasting from a speaker outside his Mother-in-Law lounge

2:20pm spodiodi:

hi David in London. howdy, Handy

2:20pm Choggie:

The old timer raising turkeys in the desert was great as well, and i might add, that any film with an opening shot with a slow pan out revealing a sign reading, 'Hospital For The Criminally Insane' is a winner in any book!

2:21pm Wiggler:

2:33pm woim:

2:34pm Handy Haversack:

"Grotesque" is a good description of the weather out there today. Or "scrotal."

Grand Rapids also has the Weather Ball! Look for it glowing blue!

2:34pm Brez:

Never enjoyed a weather forecast more!

2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hey where'd you get my Sirius XM demo...

2:35pm RetroArt:

Rex took a chance with dedicating a memorial playlist to Madge Blake. Could alienate all the "Aunt Bee" devotees in his audience. Madge Blake fans and Francis Bavier fans are like oil and water.

2:35pm egould310:

Now *that’s* how you present the weather forecast.

🌮

2:36pm Mailman Tom:

Why would anyone in their right mind want to live in Grand Rapids?

2:37pm egould310:

@ Handy Scrotal. Hehehehe. I remember weather like that. Good luck. September is only nine weeks away?!?

2:39pm RetroArt:

Damn, messed it up, REWRITE: "Rex took a chance dedicating a memorial playlist to Madge Blake. Could alienate all the Francis Bavier devotees in his audience. Aunt Harriet fans and Aunt Bee fans are like oil and water." Need to workshop my crap before posting.

2:42pm Brez:

Is the blue version of My Boyfriend's Woody on the B side? I hope so!

2:42pm Papito:

Hey, that crazy kid Big Daddy painted a Rat Fink on my surf board while I was sleeping on it ! How he do dat !?

2:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I was thinking we'd age out by Beaver & Batman (me)...

2:42pm egould310:

You can’t take my boyfriend’s woody? Trust me, toots. You can keep it.

🌮

2:43pm Hackensack Slim:

2:45pm woim:

The Miracle of the Candy Bars...saw it at Niagra Falls !

2:46pm Choggie:

..he really bought some smack with that Jackson

2:46pm What goes on Ichiban?:

The ichiban stream no longer plays old fp airchecks, it seems really heavy on byrds as of late...is the strange feed due to a covid-related reboot?

2:47pm egould310:

Bye bye fools! Time for brunch and then on to the butcher shop.
