HOF

Any of you guys ever been?

I've always wanted to go to Cooperstown and Canton but never made it. I did go to the Rock-n-Roll HOF a few years ago...it was very cool!

but I was really young, like under 10, so it's rough to remember.

As far as anything else sporting the acronym HoF..well, I try to stay away from authoritarian dogma as much as possible.

It still might be. I walked by it on the way to the old Busch Stadium but never went in.

I was thrown out of one HOF. It didn't involve a hall.

(law enforcement, not baseball) in Waco last year. They do love their engraved 1911 pistols. I've also been to Graceland - Elvis' personal H.O.F. which was very interesting. I watch a fair amount of baseball and soccer ... but sports history doesn't interest me much. I would like to see the Rock and Roll H.O.F. though.

Could get this great plate of prime rib, gravy, mashed potatoes... 10 bucks.

Can't eat like that any more, sadly.

was surprisingly interested, given that I've haven't had any interest in cowboys since watching Roy Rodgers at about age five.

Rock and Roll HOF this fall.
