@OrangeSoylent Some people just don’t know how to rockstar. Every time I was backstage with T4F, I’d always drink as much of their booze as possible in order to make sure the end of the show went well.
You can’t buy dedication like that.
@falcennial If da Vinci hadn’t invented the helicopter and the plane, we wouldn’t have had Hudson Hawk, and if we didn’t have Hudson Hawk, David Caruso would’ve never been on NYPD Blue, and then we wouldn’t have had the return of Jimmy Smits, who was so hot, he melted the ozone layer. QED
At this point the kid shook his head and pointed to his "badge." Unbeknownst to the Cap, the guys had replaced his SFFD badge with the SFFD badge sticker that they give to little kids. The equivalent of plastic airplane wings on a pilot.
I'll never forget those guys.

When I was a kid living in the Richmond, I was befriended by the local FD to help them with your computer problems.
They would have me over to the station for meals on the regular. They'd even pick me up in the truck and drive me home if they saw me.

He parked in front, approached the booth and informed them that he was there to conduct the inspection. The kid in the booth stared at him.
Apparently, he repeated all of this again, and the kid just looked at him funny.
Captain Crabtree was getting mad at this point.

They weren't going to let his actions go without consequence. And this story was relayed to me a week after it had happened.
As is the norm, they had a scheduled inspection of the Coronet theater to see to, and the Captain headed out in the Captain's car to check it.

It was the coolest thing. Well, their Captain. was a bit of twat. Crabtree by name and by nature. And he saw us having a good time together and was determined to put a stop to it, so he told them that they couldn't host me for meals any more. They were gutted. So was I.

@BlondeTechCEO That’s brilliant. East Coast/Midwest Jews and the NBA crack me up. I was always around it, but hoops was never my jam. (Not tennis, for that matter.)
Now when it comes to 007 games, I’ve had them all. And later this month, some Bond (and my new Backup controller) land.
In 1975's Lucky Lady, Gene Hackman attacks John Hillerman's character, Christy McTeague, from a "Huggins Enterprises" boat. In Magnum PI's 1980 "Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too," the schoolgirl refers to Higgins as "Huggins."
Hi, I'm a dork.
