We could use Kissinger in his prime right now. The best SoS in my lifetime. Very large ego, but he made things happen.

Kissinger was a piece of shit. What he facilitated in Chile should have landed him in The Hague.
Cambodia too. The blood of 500K innocents on his hand. Hope he is rotting in hell right now

Myles Goodwyn, of April Wine, passed away earlier today at the age of 75. A Canadian icon, April Wine was a band that deserved so much more exposure!

Thanks so much for the great memories and fun times! RIP.



Cheers and Go Irish!!

Never had much respect for him once he started using Farrah as a punching bag.
He resented his daughter’s success from “Paper Moon” as well. He must’ve had some demons or a shitty upbringing.

He & Lee Majors were close friends. Lee had to be away on a movie shoot or something so he asked his buddy Ryan to look out for Farrah. Rest is history. Thanks buddy.

RIP Big George.

This one hits close to home. Big George was a man among boys in HS. His physic and athleticism was uncommon then. He was the mold for the power forward. The best HS player I have ever seen. Could have played TE in the NFL.. Back then the Indiana Kentucky HS All Star game was huge. They played two games, one in each state.

McGinnis is equally remembered for his performance in the annual all-star series with Kentucky. He scored 23 points and hit just 8-of-26 shots in the first game in Indianapolis, after which a Kentucky player named Joe Voskuhl was quoted in the Louisville Courier-Journal as saying he wasn’t all that impressed. That got back to McGinnis, who responded with 53 points on 20-of-32 shots, 30 rebounds and four blocked shots in the second game in Louisville.

You disappeared from IE for a couple of months. I thought you were going to end up in this thread as the subject of an announcement. It was no fun insulting you and telling war stories about your mom when you weren't here to defend your family's honor.

I saw McGinnis twice in 69 when Warren Central played Washington. The first was when Warren played Washington early in the season. Washington won 90-45. Fast forward to the regional finals. Warren vs. Washington, part 2. We were foolishly excited and thought we could beat Washington, because we had both of our 6’9” players available to match their height and we were on a hot streak beating a ranked team to win sectionals. Before a packed Hinkle Fieldhouse, it was 35-0 before we scored. Lost by 45 again. Lol

The Smothers Brothers were awesome. Tom was so self deprecating and did it effortlessly. RIP Tommy.
