I have a ton of friends who are Cardinals fans. They would kill for a team who has done what the Steelers have done over the last decade+.

It was over in the first. It was pretty clear that they just didn't have it tonight for whatever reason.

It's an ancient symbol, originally Sanskrit in origin. It ended up in the decoration of a church in Pittsburgh because it became an important symbol for Easter European Christians.

BUT

The Nazis co-opted it and forever changed its meaning. Anyone using it now knows that. Its a hate symbol. Period

"Look, I know I was brought here by ambulance after I passed out, and I know my appendix is about to burst. But this website says you charge $500 for IV antibiotics and that other hospital 75 miles away only charges $400. I want to be transferred now!"

Said no one, ever.

In the second video, all of the people who call the engineer are local celebrities that anyone in the city in the 90s would have recognized instantly. The bar is a real local bar. And of course, they end with Python.

Someone posted this on the other platform, and it made my night.

For you young'uns, smaller TV stations used to go off the air around midnight and come back on around 6. They usually had some kind of signoff. WQEX got really creative with theirs, and made one of their engineers a local celebrity. (cont)

They aired the soap operas Coronation Street and Eastenders, tons of comedy from the 60s and 70s (Are You Being Served? Last of the Summer Wine, Keeping up Appearances, and Monty Python among others), sci fi like Doctor Who and Red Dwarf, etc. (cont)

The photo in this post for 2025 was from just last week. He looks noticeably worse today.

From today.

The other photo from 2025 was last week. He looks noticeably worse today.

Today of course, that video would have gone viral.

But he ran as fast as he could, and he made it in a little over a minute.

The next day, new grade sheets were posted (he posted grades publicly on the bulletin board). Sure enough, he took away half of Chris's points.

And what happened to the teacher? Absoluteky nothing. It was the 80s.

I got incredibly lucky because my nemesis actually had an extra calculator she passed to me quietly (which was an odd gesture...but I'm not complaining).

Chris was not so lucky. His locker was on the other side of the building, and even if he was Usain Bolt, he wasn't making it in 30 seconds.

He's pounding with his fists to make his point, and he puts his fist through the overhead projector. We were all stunned.

Then he says that anyone who forgot their calculator has 30 seconds to run to their locker without a hall pass to get it. If they aren't back, he'll take half their points away.
