My 30s are so far in the rearview mirror they may be subject to a search by US Customs before I try to relive them. I was a Bears fan when Ditka was just a TE and we had a different OL from Yale named Mike Pyle. What was Velus Jones like as a kid? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these kids around here have probably never even seen one of those! 🍻 I learned on a typewriter. Sophomore year in 1989 I think it was. I am an awesome typist. Like 65 words a minute. I am slow as heck on Ipad or a phone (which is what I often use on here). Give me a keyboard though .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a fantasy football thing we should have a type-off, I think I might be close to that and if I do nothing but train for the next 4 months I think I could take you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually on typing test.com I got 68 wpm but with errors down to 59, so your reign remains your excellency. One of my typos? "Bears" not kidding. It was all about colors of black bears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
