Recruiting Football Talk VIII

January 15, 1974

All the Way, the first episode of "Happy Days" aired on ABC...........

It was very controversial at the time...........


"All the Way" involves your typical teenage dilemma — dating. Richie Cunningham has been crushing on classmate Mary Lou Milligan (Kathy O'Dare) who happens to sit in front of him in class. At the beginning of the episode, Potsie (Anson Williams) encourages Richie to ask out Mary but warns his friend that she has a "racy" reputation and only likes to date boys in the senior class. This gives Richie mounds of pressure, especially when Potsie plays Cupid at Arnold's Drive-In. Potsie gives Richie prompts to "woo" Mary by reading the seductive parts of a book at the diner, which proves successful! Mary invites Richie over to the house she's babysitting at for a date, and the two plan to meet later in the day.

At home, Richie barely touches his dinner, worrying his parents deeply. Just before the date, Richie receives advice from Potsie as to how to "perform well" with Mary. Potsie suggests, "When she twists her hair, that’s a sign she wants to French kiss," and, “She loves it when you blow in her ear”. He dives in deeper by advising Richie to leave his strongest hand free when he goes to hold her, bringing out a practice brassiere. Flustered, Richie leaves for his date, commenting that he's going to do things "his own way." But when Richie meets Mary at the babysitting house, he's overly nervous to impress her as he believes Mary holds certain expectations. They sit on the couch awkwardly and Richie reads seductive passages from a book. He tries to blow on Mary's ear and put his arm around her; however, Mary just wants to kiss him. As they make out, Richie takes the chance to undo her bra over her clothes. Immediately, Mary stands up saying, "What are you doing back there? I don’t do things like that." Richie, relieved, suggests they play chess instead — Mary happily agrees.

The next day at school, Richie is confronted by his friends as to how far he went with his date. Richie tries to avoid answering directly but gives into peer pressure when Mary shows up boasting, “It was fun the other night. Let’s do it again real soon." Peaking the attention of Potsie, Ralph (Don Most), and the Fonz (Henry Winkler), the boys ask him if he "did it" with Mary, implying sex, and Richie merely answers, "You kidding?" Richie instantly feels guilty about lying and goes to his dad for advice — he tells him to set the record straight to his friends.

Eventually, Richie confesses to Mary that he told the truth to his friends about what they really did on the date, and all is fine between them. Soon, Fonzie shows up and Richie also tells him the truth. Disappointed Fonzie says, “Seeing how you said you did, I figured you did, and she did, so I got a date with her myself this afternoon." He expresses that he feels like his day is wasted since Mary won't do anything more than kiss. After Fonzie leaves on his motorcycle with Mary, Potsie catches up with Richie. Their conversation casually drifts to their history test — Richie recalls how he missed a question about Alaska becoming a state. Potsie comments that it will never happen, leading Richie to reply, "Sure it will. Do you realize someday an Eskimo could become president?" The episode comes to a close as Potsie jokes, "Yeah, terrific. At the World Series, he could throw out the first snowball."

Comparing norms through the decades is weird. The big beef my dad had with his was hair below the ears. Now you got teens asking to wear animal tails.
 
Yep. There is a serious lack of chemistry knowledge that is taken advantage of by “health” influencers. My sister in law over the holiday was trying to claim all kinds of weird salt theories and that canola and corn oil were the same. She’s also stated at different times that all metals are bad for the human body 🙄
I'm trying to detox that pesky iron now.
 
What about the players that actually want to play during their college career?

I'm not sure of the specifics. They can transfer after 2 years of if they get cut. I don't think it's unreasonable for freshmen and sophomores to not play early in their college careers. Typically at least. Not sure in the NFL if players can break their contract with their current team and just go and play for another team the next week. I know players force their teams to trade them all the time so they could force a coach to cut them to enter the transfer portal. Not sure of any specifics with what should be done but any sort of deterrent from the massive free agency at the end of each season and the possibility of a player just leaving mid season like the UNLV QB would be a start.
 

Hey Sally, I let my street dog in from the cold as you recommended. Also let him drink a quart of oil to warm up. But he was nosing through the trash and apparently got into some Viagra I threw away which I realized I didn't need since I'm already a horny, well-hung dude. He also has a little bit of Mississippi Leg Hound in him and I'm wearing short pants and he just grabbed my leg and is going to town. Is it best at this point to just let him finish?

OK, listening to the 'Hooker' this morning regarding losing another highly valued portal target on the OL to Oregon. We also lost the one to LSU. Concerns about the portal? Could be Heupel being smart about choosing where the money is spent, or maybe just not enough money. I know we've discussed our NIL a lot.

Worked construction for 30 years. Started full-time at 17yo. Heat is worse, for that exact reason. Dehydration is the real threat and will kill you if you're not careful from heat stroke. When I used to build all day I would drink water/gatorade all day long and still have to drink about a gallon of fluids after work just to be able to pizz for the 1st time since morning during the summers in Charlotte. It would be brown in color. You have to get back hydrated enough to at least pee a little bit though or heat stroke will get you the next day from starting at a deficit. Laying brick all day we simply sweated out water faster than our bodies can uptake the fluids we drank. Your body does that trying desperately to keep you conscious and alive. When you spend the whole summer dehydrated like that, your blood is so thick that cuts and stuff don't bleed much. That part is good. Gotta be really hard on the heart though. If i had to wager, i think a massive heart attack is probably what will take me out. Put a lot of stress on it pumping Ragu through my veins while laying 1000+ brick per day during all those summers. I hate June,July, and August. The rest of the year is OK. October is best, best weather and football season 😄
10/10 would rather cut downed trees and even run a tractor in the winter than summer. Every winter I think "gawd whens it gonna be warm again". Then summer comes and I'm beggin for winter
 
Well, I, for one, am totally confident in the scientific prowess of "moms for america" and whatever "lab" they paid to give them the results they sought to make the Girl Scouts' cookies look unhealthy. Crazy how M4A always finds this bad stuff from organizations and companies they're ideologically opposed to, and not ones they're aligned with. Must be coincidental.

Anyway, bold to assume the people were eating GS cookies because they thought they were healthy....

OK OK. Just give me Tagalongs and nobody gets hurt.
 
The FDA does not really test foods before they go to market.

That said, I don't super trust the conclusions.

"Lead is unsafe in any quantity" is technically true, I guess, but misleading. Trace amounts of lead are in all kinds of food. We dumped lead into the air for like 80 years. If you go looking for trace amounts, you'll find it.
There's measurable amounts of lead, like a significant amount, in ice cores taken from Greenland recently that correspond to the Roman Empire, and stop after the fall of the Empire.

The Romans were smelting so much lead it was leading to globally high airborne lead dust. And not EVERYONE went crazy.

But yeah, before non-leaded gasoline we were hitting or exceeding that level of lead consumption from inhalation and food. The Romans had it worse because theur dishware and utensils were made of lead, but you get the point. Lots of lead.

He’s bad for business and I wish Tennessee would run him off
