The Bulldogs lost by a point

That the 1997 AFL debuts of Port Adelaide Power and the Brisbane Lions are now closer in time to 1969 than to the present day. Also that 14 years have gone by since the Gold Coast Suns made their 2011 debut - the same amount of time difference between that year and the Port Adelaide and Brisbane Lions debuts of 1997.

The Bulldogs lost by a point. I had my team. The red, white and blue colours were a bonus.

That Kathryn Erbe - the actress who played Dr. Leo Marvin's teenage daughter Anna in the 1991 comedy 'What About Bob?' - is turning 60 this year.

This was admittedly a case of 'Dawson's Creek Casting', where Kathryn Erbe was aged in her mid-20s playing a high school student aged in her mid-teens - sort of like Sydney Sweeney in Madame Webb last year - but it is still mind-blowing.

In 'What About Bob?' the rest of the Marvin family are played by Richard Dreyfuss who is only 18 years older than the actress who played his daughter, while Julie Hegarty who played the wife/mother was born in 1955 and just 10 years older than her on-screen daughter. The Marvin's younger son Sigmund was played by Charlie Korsmo, who born in 1978 was middle-school aged like his character, but a remarkable 13 years younger than his on-screen sister, despite about 4 years between their ages in the film.

I was so physically upset after that match that a woman who was sitting near me came over to comfort me. Right out of the "How to Pick Up Chicks" edition of Playboy. Too bad that she was older than I am today.

Bowling to the boy at the beach, put a little heat on some balls as requested, now my shoulder is feeling a touch sore.

It's been forty years since I started High School this year, forty year ago in 1985 still had a world war going on.

Monday it will be 20 years to the day for me.

30 years for me.

I'll be catching up with a few old school mates next month, first time we've all been together for 20 years. And while I'd love to think they all got as fat, bald and grey as I did, I saw photos of 2 of them recently and the pricks could be in GQ magazine

40 years since I started high school, gone in a blink of an eye

 

[Plugger35]

I started high school around the same time and my high school no longer exists, it got shut down later on due to lack of numbers.

The ultimate high school rebellion movie and theme song is from 1985, they were innocent times, no school shootings back then.

Always thought you were older than me, I am at 25 years this year.

Monday it will be 20 years to the day for me.

For no reason other than assuming, I'd've thought you were 10 or so years older than me.
Not 1 year younger.

Gough.

Here I was thinking you were a '50's schoolkid.

Didn't realise you're a 1972 model baby.

21 years next week I started high school and it's like going from Banjo Kazooie to Banjo Tooie.
