FJ has always been consistent in its judging. If the misspelling doesn’t affect pronunciation, they accept it. If it changes the way it’s pronounced, it’s wrong. And Ping Pong would have been accepted.
What’s wrong with taking pics of your food? I agree silenced phones, no making calls, etc. But if a table wants to take a pic, of people or food, what’s the harm?
Baron von Raschke, there’s a name from the past. Around 1969 or so, a group of us young teens (13/14) would go to Friday Night Wrestling each week in Houston, so young our moms had to drop us off. The Baron was a featured bad guy for a few weeks. One of our moms was from Germany, and helped us make a poster, in German, that said something like “Go to Hell, Baron”. We’re sitting in the nosebleed seats, like always, when the Baron comes out for the feature match. A couple of us sneak down with the sign, get up close to the ring, and hold it up so he can see us. He gets enraged, and jumps out of the ring. We take off, he chases us. We’re running like our life is in danger (hey, we’re 13, what do we know), he gives chase for a few more seconds, then goes back to the ring. Even better, each week on Saturday, they would broadcast the previous night’s matches, and we were on TV! Paul Boesch (sp?) and Houston Wrestling.
My absolute favorite VM song, nice quote!
