Cliff Johnson and Nick Collins got humiliated by Austin Cooper and Jake Jenkins in a tag team match

But individually, Cliff easily finished Austin off despite a size differential

And Nick barely broke a sweat destroying Jake

This is the usual message when you find a word in this word search…

…but when you find the word ALFONSO, this message appears instead. I wonder why this is? Some kind of inside joke, maybe?

We remember legendary Oak Park musician Cliff Johnson, who passed away last month at the age of 70. Learn more about Johnson's music career by watching this short video, where Val Camilletti, the late founder of Val's Halla Record Store, discusses Johnson's success with the powerpop band Off Broadway. This video was created in 2016 by Village of Oak Park videographer Joe Kreml.

Blue Jays family portraits, 1984 Yearbook

Happy Family Day long weekend, everybody! These spring training photos appeared in the 1984 Blue Jays Yearbook. Baseball players seemed somewhat more “like you and me” back then.

Buck and Arlene met on a beach in Puerto Rico in 1971 when Buck was playing winter ball for Cangrejeros de Santurce (oddly I’m wearing a Cangrejeros t-shirt today). They’ve been married over 41 years. More on how they met here. You may remember little Casey was drafted by the Blue Jays as a catcher. He was taken in the 47th round of the 2000 draft. He pretty much topped out in A ball, other than 7 PAs in AA and 5 PAs in AAA.

Cliff Johnson’s daughter Dana caused Cliff a lot of distraction during a playoff game while he was with the Yankees. He says he can’t remember anything about that game on October 2, 1978 because his wife Pam was giving birth to Dana and he was a “pile of nerves.”

The Shaker and his wife Adrienne added a son later, Lloyd II.

To see the families of Jesse, Rance, and Ernie, look here.

Another rant that isn't about TV Tropes

Having recently replayed Cliff Johnson's The Fool and His Money, I've come to realize how people feel about what Linda Woolverton did in Maleficent, except that it was somehow either better or worse, since Cliff did it to his own character - the High Priestess. She may not have been an example of Unspeakable Trope #9, but she was introduced in The Fool's Errand as a genuinely sinister and menacing villainess with just a dash of hamminess, cursing the land and sealing away the Fourteen Treasures for $#!+s and giggles, to the point where it was satisfying to see the Fool tricking her into defeating herself. Then, along comes TFaHM, and it reveals that she wasn't evil, just corrupted by an outside force into doing what she did. It's almost as if Cliff wanted to show off how much he'd learned about tarot motifs since his previous game. I'd say Egyptian mythology, too, except that he made Thoth female for no apparent reason other than Thoth being a lunar deity, never mind that I can name three other male lunar deities off the top of my head - Mani (Norse), Chandra (Hindu), and Tsukuyomi (Shinto), and there are probably many more out there. Don't get me wrong, TFaHM is a great game, if fiendishly difficult without a guide and often fiendishly tedious with one, but these two things just bugged me enough that I just had to rant about them. :P
