Dave, that's not nice. You know the Great Lakes never get warm enough to get wet in. I stepped into Superior in July and like to froze to death. Tony, don't do it til I get all my parts ordered. :laugh:

This is definitely in the category of the statement by a certain category of people with necks of crimson:

"Hey, y'all - watch THIS!"

??? This thing is made in Germany! Geesh, what stereotyping!

YEA!!! :madder:

P.S. You forgot to mention the required six-pack or 3 that precedes that statement.

Speaking of the Great Lakes, I wonder if someone could go safely over the Niagara Falls with that contraption.

 

[GregW]

basil, dont know if id wanna fly it but it would be a great way to empty my pool.

I thought you needed a big crane with an electro-magnet to do that.

You could go over the falls ok until the sled behind you went over.

Erie is the shallowest of the bunch. It gets all the way to 72*~75*F by late August. IIRC, the deepest part is just less than 100 feet. That's why it's so treacherous to sail on. Crossed it in an 18' sailboat when I was 18. Put in at Longpoint, too. Took a bit over 24 hours.

DAVE!! We used to watch London's TV station as kids... It had a call sign back then. :smirk:

Doc;

Channel 10 on the dial "CFPL"
Funny though, we used to watch "WICU" Erie Penn.
Lived here in the land of tobacco trees all my life and spent countless hours on Long Point Bay, bass fishing.
I live in Tillsonburg which is a little less than halfway from the Point to London.

And, yes Darwin , the lakes are cold, but isn't that the reason we swim so fast up here?

[DrEntropy]

Channel 10, yup! We got the Erie and Cleveland stations too. Anyone remember "Ghoulardi"?? :smirk:

 

[Silverghost]

Doc, if I am on the right track about "Ghoulardi" then here is a name you'll probably remember - Chilly Billy Cardille! I haven't thought about that name in forever!

Maybe Doc doesn't, but I sure remember Chilly Billy and Chiller Theater, and staying up late to watch it.

Here's another name: Paul Shannon's Adventuretime, The Twirloscope, and Nosmo King. And sending letters to Santa Claus via rocket ship to the north pole at the end of the program.

 

[DrEntropy]

That was Pittsburgh.

"Ghoulardi" was a Cleveland equivalent of Chilly Billy.

Yins know "Knish 'n Rodney" then, too!!! :laugh:

[bugimike]

Geesh! Now youz guys is takin' me back to my yut! Next I'll be buyin' brews made with sparkling Monongehela mud-water (Iron City :wink: )!!

 

[DrEntropy]

OI!! And just ~where~ you been hidin'?!?

C'mon over here an' we'll go down to th' Yuengling brewery in Ybor City!!!


It's just a mile or two away from th' hovel!

 

[Silverghost]

Really scarey bad beer to go with really scarey bad movies....life doesn't get much better than this! :laugh:

 

[PATR8]

Chilly Billy was before my time but my kids found replays of him and his "terminal Stare" and they love his show. Iron City is not a bad beer, (admittly not great), IC lite is good. Straub dark is my new favorite, even better than Yuengling. I love driving my TR8 to presque isle in the summer
