My best friend's uncle and family lived next door to Brooks.
I was amazed at how long they both played in Baltimore. Boog = 14 seasons, Brooks = 23 seasons!!! -
Brooks was the human vacuum cleaner and Boog was a big dude, like running into a wall big.

He was beyond slow, too, but he was a good first baseman and he could be a powerful hitter.

I got talked into taking my daughter to FanX (the Salt Lake City version of Comic Con) today and tomorrow. I was initially rather excited to go, as Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are both scheduled to attend, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to get a signed Lethal Weapon movie poster for my HT. I ordered the poster from Amazon, then did a bit of digging to see what would be entailed in getting my desired piece of movie memorabilia. Well… Mr Gibson wants $350 for an autograph(!). AND - that’s just for a stock 8x10 - if you want your own item (in this case my poster) signed, it’s an additional $200. Oh, and if you want a photo with him? That’ll be another $250. Really Mel? A little hard up for cash?
So having abandoned that thought, I took my daughter today (without my poster), and we happened upon Michael Biehn’s booth. I love his characters - he made every movie he was in better, and he’s a true staple of 80’s and 90’s movies. So I jumped in his line and waited. It was a bit of a long wait - 40 mins - because he actually TALKED with the fans. When my turn came, we chatted for a little over 10 minutes. He was happy to talk about the films he was in, and we chatted a bit about the late Bill Paxton. For $120 I got a signed 8x10, and a photo of him with my daughter and I. I never smile in photos, but he cracked me up by standing on his tip toes and telling me to make sure I tell everyone that he’s surprisingly tall (I’m 6’4”). A tru class act, and a stark contrast to Mel Gibson.

I'm glad I finally read what you typed because, I just read the first couple of sentences and was going to ask, "if that's YOU next to your daughter, WHY do you look like Michael Biehn.........then I find out, holy crap, it IS Michael Biehn!!!!!

That's pretty cool. It's cool when you can rub elbows with celebrities. Aside from one time (not at the track), I've gotten my exposure to celebrities from being a racer and in the right spot at the right time.
I've never asked for autographs or made an a s s of myself by going..."OH MY GOSH, IT'S A CELEBRITYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" and only because, I myself used to be someone Just kidding, it's because I was arrogant and egotistical in the 80's and 90's lol.
After I quit racing in 95 and came back in 03, I had mellowed out (some) and by 05, aside from my racing endeavors, I was also an on-track instructor with a track day org called 2Fast.
We'd get guest instructors from time to time and one event, David Allen Grier joined us. Dude could ride, he wasn't a racer by no means, but he could hold his own against the wannabes out for the track day.
Now, it was lunch and us instructors were hanging out in the instructor tent chilling, talking about some of the students and the progress some were making etc etc etc when David starts talking about his personal experiences on the track and how he was progressing with his skill level and how fast he was going in certain corners on the track.....wellllll I just couldn't help myself and I said, DUDE!!! You were hauling a s s when I went by you, wrote a song about it, like to hear it, here it go......ahhh haaa ah ahhhhhhhMarantz AV10-Emotiva ERC3-Denafrips Venus-Panasonic UB820-AudioQuest Power Quest 707-Emotiva DR3, DR2, XPA2, XPA6-Focal Kanta No2, Sopra Center-PolkAudio RTiA9, RTiA3, LSiM 702F/X-Epik Empire-SVS SB5000-11.3 -

I dunno man, the veggie options at Taco bell to me are just fine. You can pick up a veggie burrito for 2.50ish?
As far as why to use the app versus just order at the location? No one works the front anymore. You go inside taco bell and want to order from the register, someone from the back comes to take it.
They do have self check out kiosk with higher prices for you to place your own order inside.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
You ate at Taco Bell, then your pants start to smell. Diarrhea, diarrhea.
