Same one I posted about last time. Seeing Swampers kids get older.
BFJ is the town wizard who runs a magic shop. He also has a golem that he has trained to attack anti-Semites.

TIL that Alyson Hannigan was on Buffy.
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.

Never seen a consecutive minute of that show, if I were estimating.

Not going to fight you over *this*, but I don't get how someone can know Hannigan but not the boundary-pushing, career-making role she played for seven seasons on a still-beloved show with a limited but vociferous fanbase (steve from Utah, for g-d's sake!).
Is Buffy streaming anywhere? I think that might be the only (multi-season) show that I fully own in physical media, but if I recommend it to my kids they aren't gonna sit downstairs and watch DVDs.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I'd say 96-2002 is a fairly large blind spot for me on TV to be honest. Me and the boys didn't settle in for some Buffy and then I had kids so...

Yeah, if you kidnapped me off the street yesterday and asked me what she's known from, I say HIMYM and then think for a second, remember American Pie and that's it.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
A year ago it was available on some random on-demand service we had on our Comcast, so we re-watched the first season and part of the second. But once Jenny Calendar appeared I had to stop. I didn't want to go through that trauma again.
A couple of weeks ago I saw some tweets talking about Buffy streaming on Disney Plus - but I think that's only in the UK. Hopefully it'll make it onto Disney Plus in the US soon.

Rush released their 4th LP "2112" on March 10, 1976.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
So that album is the mid-point between "The Star Spangled Banner" becomes our national anthem and present day.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Thinking back, I probably wouldn't have watched Buffy except that my wife and I had a lot of debt back then and so we didn't have cable. There were maybe five or six stations here, and the WB was one of them. If we had the full slate of choices back then I don't know if we would have started with the show, at least not in the first few seasons.

FFS.
A couple weeks ago, when I couldn’t sleep past 5, I was figuring that DST might shift me to a normal schedule.
Now I’ll need DST to sleep until 5.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
There's a new person in my running group named Brandon and he just moved here from Minnesota, so I made a reference to 90210. He had no idea what I was talking about and never heard of the show. Maybe if we were in Beverley Hills the joke would have worked better. And his mother's name is Brenda.
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Don’t worry buddy, I bet his mom would have gotten the joke.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
No, your location was fine. If you were in Beverly Hills and made that joke you might’ve heard a groan or two. Brandon from Minnesota would do well to understand cultural references that involve his own name and state of birth.EdRomero wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 8:30 am There's a new person in my running group named Brandon and he just moved here from Minnesota, so I made a reference to 90210.

Actually, he could’ve been sarcastic?

That missed shot ultimately proved to end the streak of presidents being elected in a year ending in zero dying in office.
1960-JFK (assassinated)
1940-FDR (cerebral hemorrhage)
1920-Warren G (heart attack)
1900-McKinley (assassinated)
1880-Garfield (assassinated)
1860-Lincoln (assassinated)
1840-WH Harrison (pneumonia)
(Jefferson and Monroe both survived)

This is what Robin Yount apparently looks like today.
Edit: And holy shit, he had an OPS+ of 135 for the 1980s.

He was my favorite AL player from the 80s.
And we're three years away from the Brewers spending as much time in the NL as the AL.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
This is so wrong.
But Yount was one of my favorites too. In the mid-1970s we spent our summers running a restaurant in Wisconsin, where Yount was a big deal.

1987 Orioles fan hates Robin Yount for preserving Juan Nieves' no hitter vs. the Orioles. I was there. He made a ridiculous diving catch in the OF to rob Eddie Murray of a double and end the game.

One of my favourites as well.
That stat about the brewers almost being in the NL for as long as they were in the AL makes me feel very old indeed.

Here’s one. We’re a year way from the Athletics spending as many season in Oakland as they have in Philadlephia. They already spent seven more years at the Coliseum than they had at Shibe Park, which opened in 1909.

When do the Braves get to Atlanta > Boston?
And I guess the Orioles are way past the Baltimore > St. Louis line.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Well, the Braves are one of the two extant teams from the first season of the National League in 1876, so they got some time before that.
That, and they haven’t been in Atlanta proper since 2016, because they needed their stadium away from the darks.
