Actually, we were plying this little ditty in college back in the early 1970s.

It was a very immature pick-up line that understandably never worked, no matter how drunk the poor young lass was that we tried it on. Imagine that. I have no idea where it came from originally.

I have a lot of old Intellevision games...

a game console, voice synthesis cartridge and the companion programming keyboard. All sealed and tucked away in the rafters of my basement. I looked online awhile ago and didn’t see any huge $ market for any of the stuff, but maybe I was looking in the wrong places. Maybe I’ll check out Yahoo. With one and soon to be two kids in college, tens of thousands of dollars would come in handy right about now…

Funny...

… for a fanbase who takes such price wallowing in the “great” 1969 Cubbies.

And for the record, Byrd is a client of Conte’s.

It was a joke, based on a FACT.

The FACT is that Byrd is a client of Conte, a proud client too. Does that make Byrd a steroid guy? Not necessarily. It does place him in the company of some folks who sure seem are suspects for using ‘roids. Take a look at the photos of the folks on Conte’s website and tell me if you’d want to be publicly associated with that group.

Still doesn't prove anything

I see the connection and association to Conte, but it doesn’t make him a user. It certainly doesn’t count him out though.
