  1. me too... in 1975 in 8th grade when i spent a lot of time riding my bike to my LCS it always seemed like the song "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship was playing bought me a ton of Marvel Tales and Marvels Greatest comics so i could read early marvel Spidey and FF back issues, still have them but unfortunately they aren't worth squat
  2. in 4th grade i bought a 20 cent Sub Mariner and Spider-man off the spinner rack at my local store and when i got home to read them i realized i had already read the Sub Mariner at my cousins house ! i was so bummed out.. but i went back to the store and on the sly i put the Sub Mariner back on the rack and took another comic... can't believe i didn't get busted but i got away with it .. it helped that the spinner rack was right next to the entrance door later that year at the same store i got busted for stealing a Payday candy bar... i had to go sweep the store parking lot every day for a week plus pretty sure i got a whippin from my mom
  3. haha .. his Spartans evidently didn't follow the -script that game... the Washington Generals always followed the -script !
  4. his crew had cool nicknames....... He kept the same crew throughout the majority of the war. Corporal Wilbert "Red" Richards was the driver, Private First Class Bertrand "School Boy" Close the assistant driver and bow gunner, Corporal Willis "Ground Hog" Oller the gunner, and Technician Fifth Grade Delbert "Jailbird" Boggs the loader.[10]
  5. i read an interesting article about this "Tank Ace" and he credited everything to his crew whom stayed together for a long time , the crew had nicknames just like the guys with Sgt Rock and Sgt Fury did Lafayette G. Pool Lafayette Green Pool (July 23, 1919 – May 30, 1991) was an American tank-crew and tank-platoon commander in World War II and is widely recognized as the US tank ace of aces
  6. snapped a 1,270 game win streak !! now that is something coach Izzo can be proud of
  7. somehow MSU beat the Globetrotters in 2000 With Magic on the team in 2003 the Globetrotters were able to avenge a72-68 loss to the Spartans in November 2000 that snapped a1,270-game win string.
  8. Johnson joins Globetrotters to defeat former team Associated Press Nov 2, 2003, 07:54 PM ET EAST LANSING, Mich. -- The Harlem Globetrotters, with help from Magic Johnson, beat Michigan State 97-83 in an exhibition Sunday and stretched their winning streak to 283 games.
  9. i will never forget watching Magic's last competitive game , when he played a final time with the Globetrotters.....against his former MSU spartans !
  10. too many of the DC comic battles from the 60's didn't make sense
  11. one of my favorite covers! reminds me of "The bridge at Remagen" not fine but 5.0-5.5
  12. good !!.... it's been a ghost town around here
  13. just seems weird that a navel battle could potentially pit the Formidable vs Young Leaves
  14. the British ships had great names like: HMS Audacity HMS Formidable other names includes - Glorious , Furious, Illustrious ect
