...particularly when I noticed the story about one of these guys buying Boomer's briefs.

The Football Project has three primary activities.  The first is to collect play-by-play accounts of all games in pro football history; the second is to convert those accounts into a proprietary scoring format; and the third is to digitize that information to enable advanced statistical analysis.

Obviously, scarfing up odd memorabilia is part of their scheme, too. Still, Boomer's undies and all that aside, this does look like fun. Real stats geek and football fan kinda fun. If one of my readers gets one of those more-hours-in-a-day-generator-thingies, I'd like to borrow it for just a little bit, please...

Geez, I survived playing with five of the six harmful toys shown...

Lawn darts, Fisher Price Little People, and other deadly toys of the past

I actually had the Verti-bird, and loved it. Yes, I took more than a few shots to head with it, too. But I don't think it affected me at all. But I don't think it affected me at all. Hey, waitaminute!

Different families had the other toys, but nobody in our neighborhood had the evil-munching Cabbage Patch doll. And I do remember a whole gang of us playing with the Jarts, and having to scramble madly from time to time, due to errant tosses. Ahhh, childhood memories.
