How long do you think it will take us to get to 80 pages on this new thread?
Majik, this is from the 1st page of this new thread, so that would seem to be the answer to your question. I tune out the Kurt Show when he resorts to playing game show host, so I don’t who was the B-named shortstop.

I actually listened to most of the show yesterday. But it was on a radio getting in and out reception. Who did Kurt have as his shortstop?
Ernie Banks. One of the few players on Kurt's list that didn't play after 1990.

Wow, I thought it would take another week or so to reach this milestone & wasn’t aware we were there already. I was kinda hoping that our 500th page (in this thread, at least) would coincide with the Indy 500. But now that we’ve reached this magic number, will Ron now ask the moderator to give us our walking papers?

Yeah, EB was the first one I thought.

Once again you make me laugh Momo.
Ron should get his advertisers to offer a special Buzzboard 500 Club discount for users of this board.
Are there any other BB topics with this many pages? I’m too lazy to look it up.

From a quick glance at the Active Topics list, I'd guess nothing has come close.

The only topics that might challenge this thread are:
  • The official announcement of the Supreme Court's decision on Roe vs. Wade
  • A major change to the playlist on WLLZ

And like Cabrera, we're approaching a second milestone (300,000 views). From my calculations (with much help from https://www.timeanddate.com), I'd estimate we will hit that number on about June 24 (also the opening day of the Elvis movie that Mr. Positive has been promoting).

My calculations:
  1. Divide the current number of views by the number of days since the thread began to get views per day.
  2. Subtract the current number of views from 300,000.
  3. Divide the result of step 2 by the results of step 1.
  4. Add the result of step 3 to today's date.
Any corrections are welcome.

Kincaide doesn’t seem to hold as many grudges as Ron. Doing some research, he was fired by the former Toledo Storm as their PBP announcer in 2001.

https://www.toledoblade.com/sports/wall ... 0105050029

Still, he supports their teams (he said he was going to a Mud Hens game next week)

Ron would probably curse the entire city and anyone whoever played or worked there.

Remember that Simpsons episode where Principal Skinner was trapped under a pile of newspapers? That could be Cowboy right now. Does he know how to make a bottle rocket?

Just noticed the first hour of yesterday’s show is posted to podcast providers, hopefully the other two hours will go up shortly.

In the Metro Detroit/SE Michigan forum, the next most frequented thread is, at 43 pages (with a most recent post of 2/10/21), "106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here"; followed, at 29 pages (with a most recent post on 10/5/20), by "Gretchen the Media Queen."

The leading most popular non-Ron Cameron thread, to be found in the Political Potpourri - U.S. and World forum, is, at 57 pages (with a most recent post of 2/13/21), "2020 Presidential Polls." Next in this forum, at 33 pages (with a most recent post of 5/16/22), is "Junk the Ice Cream Truck, Take the Train (Political Humor)"; then, at 31 pages (with a most recent post of 1/29/22), is "On a scale of 0-10, how worried are you about coronavirus."

The only other thread with at least 30 pages is, at 30 pages (with a most recent post of 4/25/22), & found in the Chatterbox forum, "Name The Beer 2.1."

The old Empress Theatre on Woodward may have been a good spot for the Cameron Follies.
Ron would have been a good emcee for the Empress.

Kind of like this burlesque comedian, Scurvy Miller.
