    I've always wanted to call you WW, because of the Oh Captain, my Captain under your name.

    Actually, the "Oh Captain, my Captain" is in honor of Robin Williams from one of my fav all time movies, Dead Poets Society.

    I figured, but I believe it was originally from Walt Whitman. Great movie though!

    109k, you rent an apartment in a moderate neighborhood and drive a used car.

    Yeah, it was Whitman lamenting about Lincoln after his assassination.

    Your lightweight thoughts were irrelevant as usual. Here's what your reaction should have been.

    What a surprise. The head of the police union got no jail time. The job of the legal system is to enforce the law onto us, not to enforce themselves.

    Every time you answer my posts, you agree with me without realizing it.

    As for your nomenclature...The first game I attended was in 1955-57, one of those 3 seasons, in Cleveland to see the Indians. In 1959 when you were apparently a Yankees fan, I was trading baseball cards in Cincinnati as a Reds fan. (I bought them from the Popsicle Man, an impatient guy in a Jeep.) I was last a Yankees fan in the 1962 World Series when other boys in Hawaii straightened me out that Yankee fandom was conformist, not cool. Similarly, NBA newbies go through some pro-Laker years before learning the league. You'll learn when you lose your baby teeth.

    Wrong again...Every time you answer one of my posts, you exhibit your ignorance of people/things you pretend to have actual knowledge of...nothing unusual.

    You'll learn when you finally get your baby teeth...Yeah, see, I can take the condescending route as well.

    And I would imagine that he'll lose his job and have to look for honest work which means his new take home will be about half what he was making. Does it send a message? Don't know, but personally he is being punished.
