I think it was Dec. of '63... And you won't believe this, the game was not on TV in Chicago... Why...?... I don't remember... I remember a lot of Bears home games not being on TV due to the game not being sold out in the 70s.... Anyhow stay warm everyone, it's just winter... ... | |

And they go the crap kicked out of them. | |

The weather site says this...
But I just went to get gas and the thermometer in my car said -16. Not sure which is correct. I do know that it's so cold, it hurts. | |

Of course add in the wind and you have a different story but its still cold.
Im back in Champaign and not only is it cold but its been windy for quite a few days. I tell you, walking to class into the wind is brutal.

| Re: Wiskey Tango Foxtrot? EHHHHH - now listen here younguns, and I'll tell ye about the Winter of 79, when it snowed so much and got so cold we done went and gave the mayor the boot, or January of 77, when the AVERAGE temperature was 10, and it stayed below 15 for 32 straight days.
Yep, them thar was the days when it got rilly cold, before this here new-fangled global warming trend.
Yep, you pups got it good, with your modeeern polar fleece boots and spats, and heaters inside them thar car seats.
Back in 77 we had to light kerosene fires inside our VW bugs fer heat and sleep with our dogs on top of us.
Shoot - these here balmy January days ain't nuttin compeered to what us old farts had to endure.
Especially the galoshes - boots that were designed to leak and conduct as much cold as possible through to your feet.

| Re: Wiskey Tango Foxtrot? Oh jeez - that's where you work. Man. that must have been pretty traumatic for you guys.
That one was just awful - he was a rising star in the diocese and it turned out he was really, really messing around in the worst way, if I remember correctly.
Folks were pissed off with the plea deal if I remember, and lots of people - including my wife's uncle who is a priest - are very pissed off at George for soft-peddling the entire thing.
He sounded like of of these guys who is totally compulsive - he just couldn't not do it.

And he was one of the young and up and coming priests in the Archdioceses ... He got nothing, 5 years (he'll be out in 3), ppl get busted with pot get more time... It was all BS... My principal deserved to get fired, a parent came up to her at the start of the school year about him and she did NOTHING... Sick because the Archdioceses new about him since Seminary ... He was caught with other young men in the '90s... And there is more, read the article...

| Re: Wiskey Tango Foxtrot? My uncle-in-law (if such a thing exists), the priest says that there are many parishes that are well known in the diocese as "gay" (which to me is irrelevant - it's none of my business what adults do with each other, oath or no oath) and others that at least used to harbor pedophiles.
From what I read, McCormick was pretty blatant about it - arrogant and thinking he was untouchable.
The scandal was just as huge in Ireland when we lived there. Still ongoing.
The sad ting is that the church was perceived as a place where pedophiles could practice their sickness.
Of course if you have ever read any popular medieval poetry or literature, Chaucer for example, it was the priests that everyone warned their daughters about.
