It’ll sound great - just ‘cause the King hit Kaufman in the head with it doesn’t mean he broke it

Hubby and I found a cover to a 1947 Orange Bowl program when that fancy college sports clothes store that like American Eagle used to run in the last twenty minutes it was open on Market Square here in Knoxville.

Speaking of antiquing in Knoxville and of a hobby of mine... I’ve found a vendor that sells nothing but old Life and other magazines from the 1930s through the Fifties. Super awesome...and a thing I collect now I guess. 🤷‍♀️ They are super cool. And the letters to the editor are...well...from the Forties in the ones I just bought.

Here I go again....don’t care for wrestling or a big fan of antiquing, but I do love to see you show how an average (ok, you’re not exactly average but let’s pretend you are) young father develops healthy hobbies to help balance out the stress of life. You make me smile. Now, I’m never going to go for wrestling because I was the middle child smack in the middle of two boys whose entire childhood was spent worshipping Dusty Rhodes. It was normal to walk in the house & one of them jump from behind the door screaming “Dusty Rhodes” grabbing me as I begin to fall yelling “It’s the sleeper, folks”. It was easier to just become dead weight & not fight back because they would tag team me if I didn’t give up. Not happy memories.....but, I think, now that I’m retired I’m going to look into a few antique shops. I’m a retired American history teacher & since I have the time....I just may take a liking to it. I’m going to text my high school/college best friend & see if she wants to do this with me! Blessing me every chance you get! I will keep you posted.

Oh hell, I would've bought the mic just because it was vintage, everything else is just bonus.

Hell yeah brother. Also, I do a fair stone cold impression if the Buttercream Dream would like to do an interview 😂

That's awesome.

I went through a spell of finding old College Bowl game watches in a toque stores (the ones they gave to the players), some of the 70s ones are so bad they're good again.

What great finds! I love antique stores. I collect vintage Zippo lighters and Mickey Mouse.

I’m not into wrestling at all . . . but what did you do to your right hand?

There was a shop teacher (who loved pro wrestling) in my high school who somehow managed to get professional wrestling matches staged in our school gym.

Do the names Gorilla Monsoon and Bruno Sammartino mean anything to you? (Always loved the name Gorilla Monsoon.)
