Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile) was actually at the game and went into the field and stole 2nd base.

LOL! Zero. She has never been enthused about riding a motorcycle, even though I commuted to off farms jobs with a 82 Honda CM450 for about 7 yrs from 91-98. (The thing served the farm well too, checking cattle and fence around the pasture.)

My buddy and I were classmates throughout our school years. His parents owned a small town grocery store, and he learned the gift of gab with customers, which served him well as a cycle salesman. He was both a motorcross rider and a street bike enthusiast. He had sold a number of bikes by just hanging around that bar in Rock Island,IL. Sadly, cancer took him in 2010 at age 56.

Well it worked

Sure did! My sister's disco records blew up real good at the ol' Comiskey Park!

I got in a crap-ton of trouble for it, but it was worth it!

*SNIF* What a wonderful story! :) See? Disco Makes Dreams Come True! (Even if you don’t meet on the dance floor!)

Sorry about your friend.

I met the future Mrs. R at a bar in 1990, after crashing my motorcycle. My friend said I was “moping” and made me go out, crutches and all. It was love at first sight, and we just celebrated our 30th anniversary this month.
