iirc, Bert Convy was on it a lot as well. And yes, that's my recollection as well: they were stars of current shows, and most were in much better shape.Maybe I'm mis-remembering things, but it seemed like the original show had contestants that were actually in shape and not sadly floundering around (well, outside of the kayak race anyway).
I was a big fan of Heather Locklear at an early age as a result of that show.
Using turn signals is a sign of weakness.
My beef...followed a car in the left lane going 64 (limit is 65). Passes long line of cars going 63.9. Finally gets well past first one (to the point where I'm debating sliding over & passing on the right...bad girl, KC). He moves over, I speed up a little to get past him and merge in front before my exit...and HE puts on the gas. I slow to merge behind him and he matches my pace. Couple of those back & forths & I end up almost missing my exit because he's playing games. Fortunately I have bigger balls than him.
Main reason to not follow people like that off 30 onto University is because that merge at University is a cluster**** when you have people turning right into the vet path complex and people (like me) trying to merge across several lanes to turn onto Mortenson. The putzes that STOP at the bottom of the off ramp make me batspit crazy because you have to watch them and the cars on University. Plenty of rear-enders happen there because of the people that stop instead of merging.

So this is a completely random fun fact, but I feel like it's necessary to share it with the group. The Bucky Badger logo was first created in the early 1940's (I think) and they wanted to have a live mascot for games, so they got a real badger. Well, that was too ferocious and dangerous so they had to give it to the zoo. So as a replacement, they took a raccoon, named it Ragdab ("Badger" spelled backwards because of course they did), and put it in a little Wisconsin coat.

Let's just remember the term drunkin' Sconny for reference.I want to hear the whole story about the person that thought it was a good idea to bring a live badger in for a mascot and the subsequent injuries that were inflicted when they realized it was a stupid stupid idea.

I do too, but I don't know about that. But I do have a picture of the original Bucky, and he looks pissedI want to hear the whole story about the person that thought it was a good idea to bring a live badger in for a mascot and the subsequent injuries that were inflicted when they realized it was a stupid stupid idea.

I had to go look up Bucky. I've never really seen the mascot costume (don't watch Big 10 much). When I hear "Bucky" an image of a beaver always comes to mind, NOT a badger.So this is a completely random fun fact, but I feel like it's necessary to share it with the group.

One thing I've noticed when there are 3 lanes of traffic (West Dodge in Omaha for one) are people passing in the right lane when the left lane is wide open. You'll be in the center lane getting ready to move right to exit and some tool comes flying up the right lane.Wednesday vent - This scenario happens several times a week and it ticks me off every time.
Three lanes of traffic going one way. I'm in the middle lane with cars in front of me and behind me. I hit my left blinker on to get in the passing lane and am waiting for the car next to me to pass so I can get over. As soon as they do, the douchecanoe behind me zooms up and cuts me off (usually with no blinker) despite the fact that my blinker has been on for awhile and clearly know what I'm intending to do.
I feel like I'm getting more and more annoyed at the simple lack of courtesy of people on the road. Blinkers rarely get used, and when they do it's when people are already in the process of changing lanes or turning. I don't have road rage issues and I don't drive angry, but the frequency of this really annoys the crap outta me.

My guesses:
The bag of garbage gets taken out once a week
The bag of garbage contains less meth
The bag of garbage smells better
The bag of garbage is actually a Missouri male
The bag of garbage is less Hefty

I'm from drunk, and Wisconsin as hell.I'm getting myself a t-shirt that says that on the front. I think it's pretty apropos. You can take the boy out of Wisconsin, but.......
