Well, barring some engineering miracles, it looks like this might be the end for Voyager 1. Pour one out for a real homie (even though it's the furthest thing ever from home).

We all know V'ger does eventually return though
Let's hope records survive the (much-delayed) Eugenics War.
hilarious.
I've watched that block at least 25 times, and I still don't understand it.
Also, Awoooooo (now with Sydney Sweeney for some reason)
I love Ant and that was an amazing block to save the game, but I'd like him to tone down the Torii act. He had to go to the locker room at the beginning of the game and also took a really hard fall directly onto his hip trying to block another shot before this. Keep some in the tank for the rest of the season.
I can only imagine what it's like to hit the rim with the top of your head.
There are some guys in the NBA who can only imagine that!
In addition to the loss earlier this week in our WGOM family: a neighbor has ended her struggle with breast cancer, the death of the mother of one of my classmates who was a close family friend, and I found out a college classmate had passed away recently as well.
I'm ready to change subjects -- what were your first...
8-track? none
LP? Jim Croce Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits, Wings at the Speed of Sound, Elton John's Greatest Hits
45? Don McLean American Pie
cassette? Wings over America
CD? Yes 90125, Dire Straits Money for Nothing, Alan Parsons Project Stereotomy
mp3? Chilliwack Gone Gone Gone
8 track: none
LP: the first I bought for myself? I didn't really buy LPs. My dad used to bring home promos from the college station (Rolling Stones, Goats Head Soup was an early one). Maybe The Cars Candy-O
45: this one I remember. Hot Butter, Popcorn.
Cassette: no recollection.
CD: I joined one of those mail-order membership deals the summer of 1983, I think. Some of that first group: Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual; Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This); Pretenders, Pretenders.
MP3: n/a.
8 track: The Best of Peter, Paul, and Mary,10 years together. My first car was a '79 ninety-eight and it was in the glovebox
Cassette: Hard Workin' Man, Brooks @ Dunn
CD: Come On Come On: Mary Chapin Carpenter
MP3: something off Napster!
8-track: too young to have bought my own, but the family station wagon had a player. Steve Miller Band’s Greatest Hits got stuck in there and we heard it for a year.
LP: several dozen that I got from my dad at once. The first I spun was probably The Wall.
45: though I have a thousand LPs now, I have zero 45s
Cassette: Poison, Look What the Cat Dragged In
CD: four on day one: Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger, Belly’s Star, Cypress Hill’s Black Monday, and a fourth I never remember.
MP3: Reckless Kelly, She Sang the Red River Valley
GTFOOH. Look What the Cat Dragged In was also my first cassette. My mom saw the cover art and asked me if they were men or women.
Heh. My dad asked the same, though he was razzing me because he was fairly plugged into MTV at that time.
8 track - nothing
LP - Kiss - Destroyer (I was in first grade and saw Phantom of the Park)
Cassette - Culture Club - Colour by Numbers
CD - AC/DC - Who Made Who, Def Leppard - Hysteria

8 track: CCR’s green river. Didn’t purchase it but like other folks the car had this one stuck in the deck.
LP: Thriller. My grandma, possibly my favorite human of all time, owned everything MJ put out on vinyl and bought this one for me. Miss you, Fanny.
45: the Royal Guardsmen- Snoopy vs. The Red Barron - oh, I still remember the day I broke this 45. I cried so hard I can still feel it. Tragic loss. I might just have to buy one off eBay.
Cassette: Look What the Cat Dragged In. See above.
CD: BMG delivered 10 - Blind Mellon S/T, Red Hot Chili Peppers Blood Sugar Sex Magic, and Nivrana’s Nevermind were in that first drop.
MP3: that’s a tough one as I stole so much music that I can’t remember what was first.
Radio (rock): Ricky Nelson - Garden Party, Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle with You
Jukebox: Wings - Band on the Run, Heart - Barracuda

I just got a new phone this week, and I cannot find your cell number either. Shoot me an email at the restaurant through the website and I will respond with my cell. The Blizzard coach is a good friend.
