@Sandbag75@poetplain Understood. I think the implications about that sort of action are dangerous. My father has spent his post-hippie life in servitude of others, particularly the impoverished and hungry. I’m just making sure that this account of him is accurate. Appreciate your memories, though.
My old man, Vern Fein @poetplain sure gave UIUC the business back in the day. He also sued Parkland twice for discrimination. Wild times! https://t.co/PhYTyPp2CE
As an @Illinois_Alma student in the 1960s-70s, Vern Fein served as President of Students for a Democratic Society, worked for the underground newspaper "Walrus," and helped establish the Red Herring. Listen to his recently recorded oral history here: https://t.co/N2dpmG846o
@Sandbag75@poetplain Thanks for the memories; now kindly stop spreading rumors from 50+ years ago about my father on my post… he is a pacifist and I assure you he never suggested harming people; find a way to behave like an adult.
@217Showers Urbana’s soccer program has been relatively amazing because of the hard work of Randy Blackman. The football and baseball programs have been absolute garbage since 1987 because of former Illini football player and all around piece of shit, Mason Minnes. These are known facts.
@jaredfritz@217Showers If WangStop has had to start pushing thighs — there’s a legit shortage and I don’t think Esquire is quite that far up the queue…
@AnthonyPomonis@217Showers Say what you will about Unit 4 and District 116 — and I do say what I will, and it’s not great! — but they are not this, and I’m sorry for every one of my friends who have kids who moved to Sundown Towns specifically for the “better education” they were going to get. Poop.
@217Showers See you think it has no bears, but that’s because you don’t know where to look. They live near the tigers, of which there are many, seeing how they are represented as the mascot of the high school. Just dose a little jimsonweed and you will see them, and feel their presence.
So influential; just by listening to him, and watching him, taught me and so many other young kids to play drums in such a unique way; later on, he was my friend, too. Love to the HUM fellas and their families. ❤️
@legtwo@accusonus I don’t want you to change your voice, Larry. I want you to keep that beautiful tenor for the rest of my days and sing a lullaby to me as I pass into the abyss.
@217Showers I’m curious what other bars it is being compared to? It’s been a minute since I hung out at Senator’s Inn but it’s a weird watering hole and I like when people look at me funny when I walk into a strange bar!
