In ONE Round Table Pizza restaurant there is a picture of young soccer players that includes our youngest son when he was 7, he is now 27.

In One Aurelio's Pizza restaurant there is a picture of our older kids when they were 7 - 10, they are now in their 40's.

Hit the ball Alice
 
I always thought "Alice "was a woman's name. I have also heard people use Nancy and Mary when someone putts the ball short of the hole. I never new the real explanation until a couple of weeks ago.

Here's the real story!

At the 1963 Ryder Cup in Atlanta, Alliss played Arnold Palmer and Tony Lema in back-to-back singles matches and won 1.5 points, halving with Lema and beating Palmer.

At some point during his match against Palmer, Alliss - for whom putting was not a strength - badly missed a 3-foot putt. Someone in the gallery yelled out, "Nice putt, Alliss!"

True Black Licorice can dangerously interact with blood pressure meds. (like those licorice pipes from way back)....:smiley:

I'm guilty of this one. What's the penalty? The gas chamber?

Doors on public buildings opening outward is a fire safety thing. Not a supid law. How many times have you heard of a movie theater or night club having a fire and people not being able to escape because they were shoved up against the doors?
