I've got that CD... Jakob Dylan was totally hot.

I admit, that sailed right past me. Then again, I'm still listening to Herman's Hermits records.

Awww you wanna be my sugar daddy? I could ask my hubby if it is alright with him....

I'm guessing he would probably welcome the break.

If you want to be a Sugar Daddy, take it to Morty's thread. We are in dire need of some legit 'check writers.'

Nah, he would miss me. I am a wonderful individual to those who know me really well. You only know what I let you see. :D

There is always something for which to be thankful.

Nah, you would all love me if ya really knew me. :) I am not trying to be arrogant or anything like that, but I really am a wonderful person.

That's it for me........I'm going out the window.

I'm sure you are a lovely person.

And I am not as smart as I look.

Is still totally hot ... although coming from someone who still has original, vinyl, Herman's Hermits albums ....

You are definitely as smart as you look. :)

Hey you can't take it with you ....as they said on the Honeymooners..."A mere bag of shells"

OUCH that hurts!:p

Show me the money, doll. :p

Does anyone know of a good hernia repairman?

I'll get my gloves and scalpels... you want anesthesia?

I'm with you Chuck, my mom grew up 5 blocks from Hialeah. In the 50's and 60's, apparently it was the place to be. Now it just sucks, just like the rest of Miami. I went there with her for the last time in '98 and she literally cried she was so depressed by how terrible it was.

No.

I wouldn't feel it anyway.


Be careful of my ThebbyTwoTimes tatoo.







Gimme some whiskey first....




..you do supply whiskey?

That's it for me........I'm going out the window.

Oh no.


I looked at it again.





Make that a double,Doc.

Oh Nurse Ratchett...we have a pateint!:eek:

Wow, more anti-Miami. I spend a lot of time in Hialeah. It's changed a lot in 10 years. One of my favorite restaurants, El Viajante is there on Palm Ave.

Nah, I'm not anti-Miami. I just hate it when places that were once good are now overrun by crime. P.S. I grew up in areas that most describe as "NWA" and riddled with crime, so that's why it's a personal vendetta.

I love Miami. I don't doubt what Chuck said but I have had a great time in that city and I don't mean just in South Beach.

We were just saying that the track isn't in the greatest of neighborhoods. Not dissing on Miami in general. But where Hialeah Race Track is, is NOT in the best of neighborhoods.

That I understand. I grew up in a mixed working class Detroit neighborhood. It was nice. Now they are bulldozing entire streets in that neighborhood.

I have no problem with Miami.....as long as I'm armed! Seriously I spent 12 straight years down there for the winter and it is a great place to hang out for a few of the colder months. But in some areas there is a real crime problem that exists.

Whaddya mean???????????????

It don't get ANY better 'en this.

!!!


I ment I laughed myself into a hernia.





Almost like for your post.












Doc!

More scotch!

I need an orthopedist, myself. Laughed my arse off.

Just curious, STS, which part of Detroit did you grow up in?

Just east of Livernois between 6 Mile and the Lodge. Not far from U-D. You?

West Side! ;) I grew up in Redford-- Six Mile and Beech Daly area. Not too far away. Redford is a working class neighborhood probably similar to where you were living back in the day. I always have the impression that Redford is a lot like Detroit used to be before everything spun out of control. Now I'm in Farmington Hills.

lol. Redford was where the rich kids lived (before they moved to F Hills). Just kidding. My cousin played for Redford. Class of 79.

"Detroit ... Where the weak are eaten alive."

A little before my time-- class of 93. I hope Hialeah has a better fate than the DRC. There's a Home Depot, Meijer, Costco, a strip mall, a restaurant, and a huge parking lot there now. I drive past it everyday and regret that there used to be a grandstand there.

Couple quick comments:

*Hialeah is about as close geographically to "Miami" as Hallandale / Gulfstream (so I would not "take shots" at Miami because of Hialeah).

*Calder is not exactly in a "great" neighborhood either (you go about one block west of the track and you better "pray for your life"). I don't have the stat's but I would guess that the crime rate around Calder exceeds a similar sized area around Hialeah Park. One difference is the ease of access to the major Thoroughfares like the Turnpike and 95. I don't necessarily translate the word Hialeah to crime personally (and I work 2 miles from Hialeah).

*Hialeah may have been a safe track for the horsemen to train / race and beautiful to watch the horses while running, but the 1st word that comes to my mind when I hear the name Hialeah Park is "toilet". Most Kennel Clubs and even Pompano Park have better "environments" for their patrons than Hialeah (example they have air conditioning). I would just as soon move the Super Bowl's away from Joe Robby er Pro Player er Dolphins Stadium and back to the Orange Bowl before I would take away a Breeders Cup (or any other major racing event) from Belmont, CD, etc and put it at Hialeah Park (at least the 1990's / 2000's version of Hialeah Park).
