Is that score even possible? I thought it was always a multiple of 10.


It is, or at least nowadays. No idea about back then?

That score was not possible at the time, but it's what Zack Morris got.

So I guess that made him eligible to play bball at Memphis...

Let's see. Who doesn't fit in this list: Chuck Norris, Patrick Davidson, or Zack Morris?

Don't you dare tell me it's Zack Morris.

Inside joke alert (some of us know that Chuck Norris is being kept on ice in a closet in Salisbury, NC).

Okay, I won't. But answer this for me, can Zack's tears cure cancer?

Of course. Zack Morris is also the patron saint of Burbank.

There's an Irish folk song called Spancil Hill. I can only remember 3 verses.

"Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by
My mind began to ramble, to Ireland I did fly,
I stepped on board a vision and travelled with the wind, till
Next I came to anchor at The Cross of Spancilhill.

Twas on the 23rd of June, the day before the fair,
When Ireland's sons and daughters and friends assemble there
The young, the old, the brave, the bold, come their duty to fill
At the parish church of Clooney, just a mile from Spancilhill.

I paid a flying visit to my first and only love,
She's fair as any lily, as gentle as a dove,
She through her arms around me saying Johnny I love you still
She is Meg the ranger's daughter and the pride of Spancilhill."

There are more verses to the poem that was written by an Irish lad living in California and very homesick for his native Ireland. Sadly he died at age 23 but his poem was set to music by his family and lives on today. The fair in the song is a well-known agricultural fair held on June 23rd in Spancilhill except when the 23rd was a Sunday like in the song. So in honor of Spancilhill, the song and the fair, I put post 623 in the Milestones thread.

Get me drunk when next we meet and I'll sing it for you.

I'll get drunk and sing songs with you anytime, BD.

Alright, this is post #999 for me and, in honour of that, I would like to dedicate it to AC/DC. Why? Because of the lyrics to The Jack ("she was number nine ninety nine on the clinical list").

Now what to do for my millennial post...?

Just give it time...

1588: The English fleet, under the command of Lord Charles Howard, Lord Howard of Effingham, and most famously, Sir Francis Drake, meets the Spanish Armada in several skirmishes, and with the help of the "Protestant wind" and several other fortuitous turns of fortune, crushes its adversary, securing English security against Catholic Continental enemies and paving the way for later English and British naval and international supremacy.

Milestones are certainly better than the other stones one can get.

This is probably the more appropriate place for #:

I take it that happened after Zack and his friends moved from Indiana.

He's from Indiana? Was that before or after he went on the juice?

And this would be:
