  1. That is why I brought up the defense....I was taught to take what the defense gives you. It appears to me that either the the defense was poor or Klay was on fire....either way, I am yelling SHOOT IT!
  2. "Biggie" had a good game against the P's.
  3. What two Indiana cities did Jon Gruden reside in?
  4. Then it is Jason's Mom? Vorhees?
  5. Another one with an Indiana twist..... What future President served under General "Mad" Anthony Wayne in a famous battle? And can you name the battle?
  6. The last few months have been tough on me and my family. The one thing that has stuck with me is my sense of humor. Laughter is good for the soul in the most trying of times. A friend of mine posted this on my site a few days ago.....I still get a kick out of it. "A father put his 3 year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by saying, "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and good-bye Grandpa." The father asked, "Why did you say good-bye Grandpa?"... The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do" The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence. A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went like this, "God bless Mommy, God Bless Daddy and good-bye Grandma." The next day the grandmother died. "Holy crap" thought the father, "this kid is in contact with the other side." Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed, the dad heard her say, "God bless Mommy and good-bye Daddy." He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be okay. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived; he breathed a sigh of relief and went home. When he got home his wife said, "I've never seen you work so late. What's the matter?" He said, "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life." She said, "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me. This morning my golf pro dropped dead in the middle of my lesson!"
  7. I dunno......I was in college at the time drinking and smoking funny stuff. But I remember Robert Duvall?
  8. IIRC Jack was in some court issues at the time. But I am old and thought Ollie was from Hendricks county.
  9. Jack Nicholson? I heard he was a basketball fan.
  10. I should have called my "Plus 1".
  11. Sh*t.........I am gonna call Steve and verify all this!!!!!!!
  12. Hmmmmmm. I do believe "Ollie" was from Hendricks county if I remember a documentary correctly. Not familiar with the area as far as school systems. But I have worked in Brownsburg many of times. I think Plainfield and Avon are in that county. But he was from farm country. North Salem? Lizton? Pittsboro? My guess is Pittboro.
  13. LOL.......just Google Dave Thomas. Yeah, there is a Fort Wayne connection.
  14. Dave Thomas is the answer, but he was not a native Hoosier. Colonel Sanders was. And we all know that Dave Thomas was the founder of Wendy's.
  15. Another one with quite the Indiana twist.... Who came up with the idea for KFC's red and white striped bucket?
  16. Yep. Very interesting man according to my history lessons. Another Indiana legend that does not get talked about near enough.
