RE: What is this bottle - 4/15/2007 9:24:17 AM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Annie, that is what I ws thinking too.. Amazing that great minds think alike, eh? Wayno, I know you were kidding about having roots in Bama, but were you kidding about hotdogs being around in the 1800's. I thought they came in about the same time as baseball. pictures coming up. _____________________________ (in reply to annie44) Post #: 10

RE: What is this bottle - 4/15/2007 10:23:43 AM    southern Maine diver Posts: 1436 Joined: 8/13/2005 From: South Berwick, Maine USA Status: offline Hey Joel... If you check the history of baseball, you'll see that it originated in the late 1800's.  So what came first... the "baseball or the egg", I mean "the baseball or the hotdog?" the "chicken or the baseball?" Well, you know what I mean... Wayne < Message edited by southern Maine diver -- 4/15/2007 10:25:12 AM > (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 15

I knew I should have used an emoticon. I poke fun on the air about my sports illiteracy all the time. Even the other Dj's poke fun at me. "Hey, let Joel read the sports".... because they  know I butcher the names so much, they have fun with it. I have been in news direction most of my radio career. I read six, or seven papers a day and skim right past any sports. Bores me. I hunt and fish and outdoors activities are my sports. No offense taken. I pondered the question about the egg, the day I cracked the one in the picture. I got a head ache so I stopped thinking.
