arghton 6,745 Posted March 24, 2021 I don't recognize him (As well as many other of these celebs that aren't internationally famous, especially musicians, as I'm not a large fan of music and musicians seem to never die) but looks so rough I don't have any problem with the thread. From what I've now read from a few sources I got the picture that he's the Murray Walker of MLB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it's just the Russian spelling of Boris Becker and an age adjustment for Vodka consumption a bit less than the 7/1 attributed to dogs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted March 24, 2021 I'm starting to feel sorry for Arghton. I can only imagine his response each time each time we get a new thread. That said - there are not enough threads for people with a U as their surname. Looking at the thread list, there's just two. For that reason alone, I say keep the thread.

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted September 26, 2021 Today is (un)officially Bob Uecker Day, you'll be chuffed to discover. Hopefully Bob will be around to see his/my beloved Brewers win their first ever World Series this October. But I fear they will not, as they'd likely have to beat either the Dodgers or Giants just to get there. https://spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/news/2021/09/24/saturday-will-be--bob-uecker-day--across-wisconsin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
