    What was the inspiration of Bill and Ted using a telephone booth to travel through time?

    If you are always present, it’s less likely that your temp replacement may become your permanent replacement.

    Cal didn’t play all of those games as the shortstop, though. The last four hundred or so he played third base.

    I, too, have found refrigerators to be rather cramped.

    I figured that was going to be California before I finished reading it.

    Too few have the work ethic of Cal, Jr. today. It’s a good thing they switched to the Delorean or BTTF would not be the massive franchise that it became. Sorry, Redondo Beach, a blimp is not a bird.

    The original name Back to the Fridge was also changed.

    Here’s why the fridge in Back to the Future was scrapped per a google search and it’s a good reason: Director Robert Zemeckis has said in interviews that producer Steven Spielberg was afraid that children would start climbing into refrigerators and getting trapped inside, after replicating the scene in the film.

    If Gehrig was the ‘Iron Horse’, then of course Ripken is the ‘Iron Bird’ which doesn’t quite have the same ring.

    How could you get a refrigerator up to 88 mph — I mean that’s ridiculous!

    I remember the big celebration when Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig’s record of 2,130 consecutive games.

    Kind of hard to reach 88 mph in a frig.

    Redondo Beach isn’t far from the airship base in Carson, where one of the blimps is often parked when not in flight.

    Well, now I really want to see the 88-mile-per-hour Frigidaire…

    Redondo is Spanish for ROUND, so I guess the Good Year Blimp is kind of ROUND.

    That’s statement about Cal Ripken is a lie. He missed 50 games in 1994 during the millionaire crybaby hissy fit.
