    Milt Pappas, who won more than 200 big league games but whose most memorable, if unlucky, legacy is that he was traded for the future Hall of Fame outfielder Frank Robinson in what has been considered one of the most lopsided exchanges in baseball history, died on Tuesday at his home in Beecher, Ill. He was 76.

    His death was confirmed by his wife, Judi, who said she was unsure of the cause.

    Hit, run, issue injunction on herald tribune quick sharp pronto apparently as the article is already "no longer available".

    I just opened it from my FB posting but hey maybe so. Thus, Sir Creep has done the most helpful thing he can think of:

     

    " - A Florida man killed after being struck not once, not twice, but three times on a busy roadway in Orlando has investigators searching for two suspected hit-and-run drivers.

     

    The Florida Highway Patrol says 39-year-old Rasheed Wiggins was standing in the grassy median of Universal Boulevard and Destination Parkway Saturday night when a car veered into him, sending him onto the roadway, where another car ran him over. Then cab driver, Fito Pierre, 47, who didn't see Wiggins, rolled over him. Pierre remained on scene to talk to troopers.

     

    FHP investigators say they have few leads on the two suspected hit-and-run drivers. The first car was "a newer, white" car; the second car, also white with "a female driving."

     

    FHP is asking for the public's help. Tipsters can call 407-737-2213."

    Winthrop University, a relatively small school in South Carolina, lost two members of their athletic Hall of Fame in one week -- both killed in auto accidents. One was heading to a fund-raiser to help others and the other got drilled by a police vehicle on its way to assist others in another car accident.

    Not sure why some Americans are offended by this

    http://www.dose.com/food/27945/A-British-Supermarket-s-American-Food-Section-Is-Both-Hilarious-And-Enraging?

     

    If I remember correctly, there's a shop in Kent that sells brands that you don't usually find in other countries that have been imported from the U.S. which a lot of the same stuff.

     

    Especially when it comes to chocolate. There's a lot of difference between the taste of Nestle, Cadbury's (UK) and Cadburys (made at the Hershey's factory), and just regular Hershey's.

    Hershey's milk chocolate tastes more like dark chocolate.

     

    Americans buy breadcrumbs!

    So do the English, but yes you can buy breadcrumbs in the shops. It's a convenience item. Much in the same way as shredded cheese.

    This way you don't have to dry out a loaf of bread, and crumble it up before you can use it.

    Calling breadcrumbs a convenience item and following it with that sentence, well hell, I'll call BREAD a convenience item then. You don't have to get the flour and yeast together, the drudgery of making a loaf and popping in the oven whilst cleaning up the kitchen, letting it cool a bit and buttering the damned thing before you can use it....

    BTW us Yanks are keen on bottled water, with little proof it isn't anything beyond what we get from our tap at home.

    The things you learn on here....

    Had a swatch, and it was from these films that an image was lifted from and used in a much loved album of my yoof.Entertainment!.jpg

    Rather than giving me appreciation for Winnetou your post has instead caused me to lose appreciation for Gang of Four.

     

    This is a gay-ass thread......which supports Spade's definition.

    Rok It To The Moon

     

    Authorities in Southern California Tuesday were trying to determine what caused a homemade rocket attached to a skateboard to explode, killing a high school student and injuring his friend. Bernard Moon, 18, of Thousand Oaks, died after the blast on Monday night. A 17-year-old suffered minor injuries and was hospitalized in stable condition as of Tuesday
