We all played the game. Probably at some point in college, you and a friend of the opposite sex agreed – “if we’re not married by the time we’re 40, we’ll get married to each other.” So, if you’re not married – you still stickin’ with that plan? If you are marry – spill it – who was your backup chute? If you don’t want to give full names, an approximation will be fine.

Happy Birthday, Tim!
Courtesy of the brats at the 87 blog, “Doug Man” in the smoking area. I salute thee.
Can you imagine if a school designated a smoking area today? First – the outcry. Then the local news vans would come in. Then it would make national news. Then the surgeon general would intervene. Cats and dogs living together…

When Aerosmith played WHS
We all heard the legend of the night in 1973 when Aerosmith played the field house at WHS, but I’d never seen pictures until I stumbled across them on Flickr:
The pictures are posted by Brian Lynch and are well worth checking out.

Here’s the thing…
Let’s hear it for one of our fave former teachers, Mr. Larry Nilson, who is helping us crack The Jim Code. You may recall that Anne Bennett’s Husband posted this picture some time ago, which prompted the question: Is that Jim… or his dad? Well, in an exclusive with WAE, Jim’s dad has an absolute shocker:
Actually Steve, that is a picture of both of us. Jim has aged a bit, at
least as last I saw him, and I have gotten younger since retirement so we are
frequently taken for each other.
Stunning. And from a former biology teacher no less, so you know it has to be true. But that pales in comparison to this:
Jim has gone underground yet again. We did get a postcard this summer from Pyongyang, but that’s it.
That’s right. It’s possible Jim has weapons of mass destruction. We can only assume this means bad news for Weston. Thanks, Mr. N. for taking time from your well-deserved retirement (you put up with us, after all) for this vital update.
(Via ESPN) John Russell, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies‘ Lehigh Valley Triple-A club, will be named manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, sources confirmed for ESPN.com on Saturday.
The Pirates are expected to officially introduce Russell, a former Pirates third-base coach, at a Monday morning press conference at PNC Park, according to the Beaver County Times. Russell managed Lehigh Valley the last two seasons.
Russell, 46, will succeed Jim Tracy, who was fired Oct. 5 after two seasons with one year remaining on his contract. The Pirates lost 95 games in 2006 and 94 games this season.
Russell’s hiring is the first major move by new Pirates general manager Neal Huntington, who took over with 10 days left in the regular season. The Pirates spent nearly a month looking for Tracy’s successor and had been the only remaining team in the majors without a manager following the Dodgers hiring of Joe Torre.
