WannaBe: These sponsorship have gotten silly, borderline ridiculous. Watching this TB@PIT game earlier, and the 4th inning was brought to us by Toyota Rav4. Ugh Maybe 7-Up can sponsor a Seventh Inning Stretch. Or Motel 6 can do something about the 6th inning.

WannaBe: < perfidious: At least the username User: Bishoprick is displayed in full, unlike that of User: farticchio, whose content is automatically blocked from the kibitzing page cos of someone's fixation on the first four letters of the name. Perhaps the user should have been informed ...

  WannaBe: Please don't do the Ripley reference, please don't... I will be so p*ssed if Star Trek did the same as Aliens 3 or Aliens 4.

  WannaBe: Apparently Hilary is all over the news here in SoCal and parts of Arizona, some news outlets are warning severe damages and asking people to not go outside this weekend, possibly early next week, too...

I did not know Clintons are visiting CA.

Sep-02-23  technical draw: Jasson Dominguez of the New York Yankees hit a home run on his first major league at bat. I thought that was a rare accomplishment until I read that 134 players have hit home runs on their first major league at bat. However, Dominguez hit a home run on his first major league swing! I won't check to see if others have done this since I don't want to spoil the moment.

  WannaBe: This is for our friend <Chancho>, (Who I will blame, for getting me "hooked" on this).

Wiki says there will be (only) 3 episodes? Just "acquired" the episode 1, (90+ min) and will enjoy it while also have some dinner.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C...

(<Chancho>, It's on Peacock, NBC affiliate, I believe, so it's not like Star Trek, which is CBS/Paramount+ affiliated, if that makes a difference)

  WannaBe: C- it's "cute"... But I'll watch the other 2 episodes, could get better... Episodes one aren't usually the best one, it's to build up the story.

  WannaBe: That was the "Big Emergency Test"?? Mine went off at 18 minutes after the hour, thought it was suppose to be 20 minutes after the hour.

Rather disappointed. Oh well, 30 minutes to first pitch.

  WannaBe: Saw the third and final episode of "The Continental", guess the best thing I can say about this little series is that the sound track is great.

Excellent sound track, great songs from that era.

Oct-22-23  technical draw: <chancho> <did you know that Ian McShane was in the sci fi series Space 1999?>

Space 1999, with my ex-girlfriend the beautiful Barbara Bain. (Of Mission Impossible fame)

Oct-22-23  technical draw: A mission Impossible anecdote:

When Barbara Bain went to audition for her part in MI she had to audition in front of the executive producer who was none other then Lucille Ball (through Desilu productions). It is said that when Lucy saw Barbara she said "forget the audition, you're in." This is rarely seen as most actors are rejected after the first audition. Lucille Ball had an eye for talent.
