BRONN is a sell-sword, knighted after the battle of the Blsckwater, and last seen being sprung from a cell in Dorne.
Bran is Ned's next to youngest boy, who broke his back when thrown out the Winterfell Tower by Jaime in the first episode. He has the Sight and some serious mojo with the Old People.

Yes we are not living in a binary world. My only method of graduated approval is how many positive or negative buttons I push. Almost makes it a 6 point gradient but it's inaccurate.

I'm with you! Tyrion is the key. IMHO he may be Dany's relative. Tyson constantly said of Tyrion "he's no son of mine" and we thought it was cause he's a dwarf. But in the books, there are allusions to one of the recent Targaryan Kings taking his baronial rights a bit too seriously and allegedly bedding tywin's wife. so Tyrion may be Dany's half brother or cousin as the lineage of the last targaryans is a bit convoluted with all the incest in there. Another tipoff is that Tyrion has persistent dreams of dragons, which is a trait associated with Dany's family but not Lannisters.
I think a tyrion/Dany alliance is the only way out for the fucked over denizens of that brutal world. Otherwise you got little Davey running everything, and we know where that ends up.
hope tonight shows us just a glimmer of hope!

I spelled it first bron and then thought I changed it to bran, and at this point I'm confused, but the cereal part was really funny.

Luv it, Tory!
Tory,
Can't help you on vids but I spent many a Sunday in the '60's listening to your Daddy and Curt call games. For a football player (I played Pop Warner, High School and College Football) your Daddy was "the real deal" when analyzing a play and "breaking down" the game. I heard live and remember well your Daddy and Curt call Super Bowl I in '67.
Your Daddy was 2 time All American, Quarterbacked the Cardinals to an NFL Championship, is enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame, and played in the era when American Football was truly "The Gridiron"...both ways, every play, no domed stadiums, no artificial turf, no face mask.
Here's some more about "Pitchin' Paul" Christman,
"A St. Louis native, Paul Christman led the Missouri Tigers to a 20–8 record during his three seasons as their starting quarterback. He was a two-time All-American, and led the nation in touchdown passes in 1940. He was Missouri's all-time leading passer until 1976, when he was surpassed by Steve Pisarkiewicz. While at the University of Missouri, he was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. His jersey number, 44, is one of seven retired by the school. In 1956, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame."

SO much!! It makes me smile when ever I read or hear of people who knew or listened to my Dad,
and got him. He was one cool cat, and people all of my adult life have told me stories
about him, because he passed away SO young.
I really appreciate your story.
Much love to you,
Tory/Magoo *(PS: Did you get that's why my YT site is ToryMagoo44? He passed away when I was
22, but on and off through out my life I could feel him, and his courage. When I finally woke up,
I was all alone. I had NO ONE to talk to, and I didn't know what to do.
Then?
I heard my Dad saying to me: "Just go...........get the Hell out of there~!!
Go
and enjoy your life!"So? I keep the memory of him close by and always have. I gave him the nick "Magoo" because
of his tiny eyes (like Mr Magoo) and his sense of humor.
44 was his football # ...thus Tory/Magoo44
YAY to the original Magoo!!
It isn't easy to see, but Tyrion and Dany make sense as yin and yang. I don't think I would have seen it if you hadn't pointed it out. But I haven't seen much of the current season. Some of the blogs I read give spoilers so I know some of the plot points but not many of the oh, so important little subtleties. Of course, as I said before, if you like someone in GoT, they are doomed. So who knows? I can wait to see.

Also time SP stood for something like Smart People or Squirrel Power cause the real talent is clearly on the outside!

Yes, but did they actually spray-paint boots and helmets with silver paint?
They were already silver when we got them.

As the saying goes, your dad was the shit. That's why I brought him up. I'm glad others agree and that it brings you a smile. What else can we really do for each other?

They issued them to you? And the boots? That's great!
Tell me, were the boots done in some kind of silver shoe polish, and did you ever re-apply any? How about the helmet, did they ever need touch-ups?
I'd so love to see a picture of someone wearing that outfit.

I knew many of these people but they were on the RPF at other times than 1977 when we were there. A still knew almost all. Thanks
