Were we being that pedantic, it's Pittsburg and not St. Louis*. * In the "Naughty Nineties" version. Never fails to amuse. AIUI it was based on an earlier vaudeville skit about Chinese laundry. A poor quality recording of the legendary Vin Scully in 2007(?) when the Dodgers had Hu on first base Also a quite good modern pastiche (if you can close your ears to the audience whooping) Edited January 22 by Metr0Land 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted January 22 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22 Rang my dad up in the 1987 'hurricane' to check all was well; he lived on the 'top road', Port Road East, in Barry and it can be a bit wild up there on normal days. All was well, but had I seen his garage flying past; this was a solid concrete affair that he'd last seen airborne from the kitchen window... it had lifted off without leaving a scratch on his Vauxhall Cavalier. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 In the 1968 Glasgow hurricane, a house near my (now) wife’s family lost their one-car garage - scattered over the neighbourhood. They didn’t use it - it had been put up by a previous owner. My brother-in-law, then a teenager, made a deal with the neighbour - he could keep any bits he could find. By diligent searching, over quite a few blocks, he found 90% plus of the garage and re-assembled it in their yard. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
