Attitude Era and my dad constantly reciting 85 Bears lineups during my childhood couldn't even get me the win.

In 1992, SuperFly was 49 years old. Guessing he was past his prime. I loved SuperFly back in the day, never would have guessed he was 3 years older than my father.

Next week is another normal one - questions will go out on Memorial Day.

I think I may take signups to do W14 questions live though, so that would be next week too. Stay tuned.

Posted: **Fri May 22, 2020 1:18 pm**

Best week ever! And wasted on a no show.

I request more professional wrestling questions (I include the '85 Bears in that b/c of Mongo McMichael) and questions with current or former Pacers.

Fucking Megamind... That movie was on while my son got his braces on. Painfully bad movie, hadn't heard of it before, and I really thought it was obscure enough that nobody would think of it. Guess it can't be too obscure if it stars Will Ferrell, but damn you all. And fuck Bengal for saying Susquahanna, I was worried it wasn't long enough, but my soccer career started on the banks of the Susquahanna, which often completely overtakes the entire park where the Town still holds rec games. And Tecmo Bowl kept me from saying Dave Duerson. He was so dominant, I tried to think of a guy who wasn't usable on that D.

I was also worried it wasn’t long enough - love that river - some cool bike trails along it in PA that I can get to in about an hour from my house.

It's also in the first sentence of my High School's fight song, which is more of a ballad than a fight song. I don't think I ever knew beyond the first sentence.

Damn, that was my best Swamp Crash performance in years. And then I had a crazy work Friday (happening a lot lately) and I completely forgot about this until now. For once, I debated over a few options and switched FROM the one that ended up being wrong instead of switching TO it.

And nobody said James Joyce? Jordanesque.
