I bet that when he was a kid they let him ring the bell on the fire truck on the way to the fire. the Haslam's son-in-law J.W. Johnson just tweeted: "Who is ready to see the new uniforms?" How 'bout this response - Sure, fire away, we're not depressed enough with the coronavirus.

Gorka Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 11 hours ago, Icecube said: Dolphins can be very tough, they take on sharks all the time and sharks back down from them. There are documented cases of dolphins saving people who were being attacked by sharks. Concurrent with the mating/nesting season, male Northern Cardinals experience a marked increase in hormone levels. At this time they become very territorial and will attack any intruders they feel are a threat to the brood. Saints aren't tough? https://listverse.com/2011/01/30/top-10-truly-badass-saints/ True, but why do they have to be tough in the first place? Logos can symbolize things that are majestic or held in high esteem as well. The elf doesn't even do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why shouldn't they have a logo with a black face? Besides.....who says it is "blackface". It may just be a black...i.e. African American face. Can't a fictional elf be black? After all, they have black Barbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't really tell WHAT was wrong. But apparently they made the face the same color as the hat. Which was pretty 'Haslam' (Haslem meaning dumb).

Grrrrrr They're the default response... The helmet use to be a nice soft orange. Then they 'modernized' it to be this day-glow thing we've had. The natural progression brings us to a glow-in-the-dark orange helmet with a face mask of brown & orange hash marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we finally got Netflix. I figure to spend much more time fishing this year, so I'm cleaning my fly tying area, fly lines, & re-organizing my fly boxes & tackle boxes to get ready. I've already moved from chaos to "so THAT'S where I put that thing!" Next is to sit there & actually tie some new flies. If we can't go to the stadium this fall, I can at least enjoy some deep fried bluegill filets. Mike 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
