Question:

Who is Indrid Cold?

You get this, you’re a well read individual.

[rupert3]

He was first sighted in the mid 60s.  He smiled at everyone.  He was thought to be an alien.  i had heard about him when I came home from Nam.   I guess he fit right in with the hippies that I couldn't figure out at all

Very impressive.  Indrid is allegedly an alien.  Supposedly friendly but if he’s a Biden supporter he’s probably lying like a Big Dog.

In my book he was called "WWII" World War 2.  I didn't realize that until I call my baby son who is 50 lol.  I had seen it before just didn't dawn on me.

[Hagar]

I remember the first time I saw it I busted out laughing thinking - Must be a bad-a$$ cat.  Lolololololol. That strip was a classic.

Only because my mother used to talk about them. Was born and raised in Beaumont (graduating from Beaumont High School) and went to the games.

Close enough - Stuart Stadium.  Me and Dad went often.  Him to watch baseball and me to chase foul balls & eat hot dogs.  My seven may have been a record for my age group, lol.

Another side note, my best memory of going there - visitor hit a legitimate Texas Leaguer into left field.  The Exporters Left Fielder, Jim Greengrass came in at top speed and in a 180 degree dive made the catch.  As good a defensive play as I ever saw.  Saw it duplicated but it’d be hard to top.
