@MidwestMadDog 11/23/1968, Harvard Stadium, Yale was leading 29 - 13 in Harvard territory with under 4 minutes left. Yale fumbled. Harvard drove 84 yards, got a TD and a two point conversion, recovered the onside kick, another TD as time expired, and a last 2 point conversion. Final, 29 - 29.

@EngineeringFI_ Could be: home equity, for most people, is - by far - the least liquid asset they have.

@Happy_Cats2017 @SethGaron @Roshan_Rinaldi @StellaParton Thank you! Took longer than I expected.

@RyanAFournier When is the last time that a former president was indicted, and the indictment went nowhere because he successfully claimed immunity?

[Philip R. McLean @PhilipMclean]

@DonaldJTrumpJr The Office of White House Counsel: telling presidents what they're not allowed to do since 1943.

@MicheleMuse5 Seriously - is it a conservative point of pride to mess up spelling, grammar, and punctuation? They do it so much that it seems deliberate.

@S_U_Network Part of the problem would be all the social infrastructure we took for granted that isn't there anymore. Going to a strange town? Good luck finding a filling station map. No card catalog at the library anymore. And so on.

@TheCinesthetic "Meeting Venus" (1991, Glenn Close) about an opera production.

@markcecchini Take pictures of the empty containers before leaving the house, ensuring that you can clearly read the UPC.

@ACMillerAuthor This kind of thing was the pinnacle of 1967 entertaining. I think the idea was, "someone went to a lot of trouble to make that and it would be rude to tell them the sight of it made us all lose our appetites for the next 36 hours."

@PowellAnalytics I think about the Ice Bowl, 31 Dec '67, when Lombardi passed on a game-tying field goal and ran the ball with no time outs left. It worked, so, "smart move". And if Jethro Pugh had stopped Starr, people would still be talking about how dumb it was.

@AcdntlyRetired Let's see the receipt.
My local diner (western NY) serves eggs, bacon, toast, and home fries for $9.70, including tax. I am cheap enough to get coffee at home.

@AffluentAlpaca @nut_history MLB rule book, rule 5.10, if the Astros manager tells the umpires that he's sending Yount in to pitch, then Yount is officially in the game as of that moment.

@PowellAnalytics Noland Smith, KC Chiefs 1967 to '69 with a few games at SF at the end. 5'6", smallest player at the time, very fast, could change direction like Barry Sanders. Great fun to watch.

@InternetH0F Two gyms worth of plates and he takes his legs completely out of it?

@SosaKnowsAll @SosaPicks @DailyBreadMedia Tyson had a fight coming up - mid 1980s, don't remember the date or opponent, but your local cable company would sell you the right to watch this fight in your home. A guy I knew signed up and had his buddies over to watch. It ended in KO so fast one guy had not opened his beer.

[Philip R. McLean @PhilipMclean]

@nut_history My favorite part of the play was watching the replay and seeing Pete Rose's body language clearly saying "this guy does not need a cutoff man, I will just stand here and admire it."

[Philip R. McLean @PhilipMclean]

@InternetH0F Compound interest.
Wonderful if you're collecting it, sucks if you're paying it.

[Philip R. McLean @PhilipMclean]

@TheSGTJoker @AlinaHabba She tried to fake being smart.
Now she can fake getting paid.
