Well, we haven’t had an odd assortment of links in a while. Let’s start with some more superhero related stuff, shall we? Back in the late 70′s and early 80′s, the Meco Superhero action figures (not dolls!) were one of my favorites. They had them all at Child World. I believe I had Batman, Robin, [...]

My brother was a kick ass lego builder. He used to design all kinds of killer houses (he usually made whatever the picture on the box was really quickly, just to show he could do it, and then move on to his own designs). I believe he once built a model of the Ellis Island Immigration [...] I saw this linked on the uniwatch blog, and it’s a link to that great baseball card blog I linked to in one of my first posts. Back in the old days, they used to airbrush new hats and uniforms when a player was traded after they had taken the baseball card photos with the [...] Yesterday, BC beat Miami of Ohio (the #2 overall seed in the tourney) in the NCAA Hockey Northeast Regional Final in a 4-3 overtime thriller in Worcester. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend as I had made plans with the family, but I did go to Saturday’s game (BC beat Minnesota 5-2). Yesterday I [...] As the baseball season is now upon us (well, on 2 teams, Boston and Oakland, in Tokyo), it is time for the Conman’s first ever baseball prediction blog. I know you’ve all been waiting for it with as much anticipation as Randall and Mortimer Duke were for that orange crop report, so here it is: AL East: 1. Red Sox 2. Yankees 3. [...] Sports Illustrated now has this cool “vault” feature, where you can access past articles and covers from the magazine’s past. Someone sent me the link, and this article was on there from March 1979: http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1094724/index.htm Before you read the article, click on the cover shot: http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/cover/featured/8632/index.htm Does that look like a young Conman and his sweet lefty stroke or what? [...] No, this is not a post about the Yankees. This past weekend the Mrs. and I visited the bro and the sister-in-law in NYC. My parents were also in town for the weekend. We had a very nice time seeing their new condo and hanging out in the City. We went to some good (and [...] Boxing and kickboxing are rough sports. Fighters put themselves at risk whenever they enter the ring. That said, every once in a while, watching a guy get knocked the **** out, I can’t help but laugh. Check out these clips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C9_jJhqAKA I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this before. Funny and a bit freaky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xndD7PmnxAs I remember this one, as [...] Yes, there are only so many dunks out there, and the whole dunk contest thing has grown a bit tired (although this year’s competition won by Dwight Howard suggests that there may still be some life to the contest), but a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a show on espn in which they were [...] As you can see, I haven’t had too many new and exciting posts lately. It’s not easy coming up with new uninformed posts on completely trivial topics on a consistent basis. So I usually just go with the what pops into my head method. Today, it’s Godzilla. I was a pretty big Godzilla fan as [...] |
