I bet you say that to all the guys.😉

Originally posted by cashthetrashThat's when I watched football -- starting in 1975 in college when Lynn Swann was playing, until the beginning of 1994. I moved that summer -- it's a long story -- and didn't see any football again until I moved here to Packer Country in 2002.
What's happining moma? Actually the fridge was way after Namath and his panty hose.
Originally posted by reader1107You don't remember the ice bowl then? Cowboys vs Green Bay. Green Bay has a great history. It is struggling now though. Bret Farve shouldn't have much more in his tank. Great football town. You live in Wisconsin now? I used to work in Racine for a while.

Originally posted by cashthetrashI always have a lone student in my class who is a Vikings fan. Poor thing. I get nervous when I drive because the only ticket I've ever had is a parking ticket -- I was just not given the gift of parallel parking! I'm short, so I can't see how far I am from the curb, but it's usually too far.
So you telling me you don't have a license. 😉 Well, I had fun there because I always had my Cowboys banner up. You can imagine the dust that kicked up.
Did I tell you about our population and the missing 700?

Originally posted by reader1107GB Vikings is quite a rivalry. That's a funny story. I hope you told that to the Judge. I had a girl friend once that had the same problem. She drove a VW. Every day the guys would go out and pick her car up and move it for her with her in it. Somehow it seemed more fun that way. I haven't heard about the missing 700 yet.
