Best Gaper qoute of the weekend?

[old goat]

Probably listening to Ernie Harwell calling a game, I’m betting.

“Stood there like a house by the side of the road”…

That one went over my head, and I grew up listening to Ernie Harwell. (And George Kell--great announcing duo. People remember Harwell, Kell not so much.)

Hell of a story, pop-pop, it’s a wonder you survived.

I survived by telling myself it could be worse, I could be riding with buttah.

Ha!

Probably should have extended the quote but memory failed at time of the post. Here’s the full length version that I remember him saying so often:

“He stood there like the house by the side of the road and watched that one go by.”

This will help stir the memories, even a mention of the transistor under the pillow in his signoff from last broadcast in 2002 - https://youtu.be/2vGEcx4RSZU?si=pU6BZls1olJrwmkH

More nostalgia…https://www.vintagedetroit.com/ernie...catch-phrases/

I've heard he's very anti-bar. Did his own research, the whole deal.

Thanks for the memories. The guy with him at 30 seconds in the first video is Kell.

Not Harwell but one a friend said--"I opened the door and she kissed me right on the lips." "What did you do?" "I stood there like a carrot."

It helps to visualize a tall gawky fiddle player in an bluegrass band.

Here's Harwell calling my favorite Tiger memory. It's imbedded in my mind's eye--it will probably be my last vision as I leave this earth--my "Rosebud" if you will.

I'm skiing at Highlands yesterday with the family and as we click into skis to leave the Merry Go Round restaurant I see a guy holding his Rustler 9's vertical in the air in front of his face and then he puts his mouth/teeth onto the base. I thought he was trying get some ice off his base or something, but then I go around him a bit and he turns: I see he's trying to bite/scrape a curl of base material off with his teeth. I start laughing and tell him to go check the tool bench for a flathead. Homeboy didn't seem to think his approach was at all strange.

I don't think ingesting hydrocarbons is a good idea. Stick to hangnails.

Ordinarily a woman falling off a detachable chair trying to load wouldn't rate a mention in these pages but when you do it in a white one piece with a fur-lined hood--well the stereotype is just too perfect. (Timberline Cirque at AM if anyone cares.)

go check the tool bench for a flathead.

Or just use the edge of your other ski like a scraper…

older telemarker dude loses a ski taking it out of the rack,
the ski snakes down towards me, I intercept and walk it back up to him

he says "thanks" and I say " darn things need breaks"

telemark dude GOES OFF about runaway snowboards taking out small children
I grab my gear and walk away.
funny thing is, I was skiing today .... (I thought the big plastic boots were a giveaway)
.

I believe most tele skiers use leashes rather than brakes. I know my son does. And I used to but on equipment so different than modern that my experience is meaningless.

I would have asked him check to out his bindings, which he would gladly have given over for inspection; looked at them, and then threw them down the hill.

Just me though.

Your pic doesn’t work for me. But here’s DV on Wednesday:



Gotta love how, in the background, there's a fur collar, plus a second fartbag.

[pfluffenmeister]

Those Rad Elf suit oneys are surprisingly popular.

Or is it surprisingly easy to spot.
