This week we go back to 1990, the year ‘Dances with Wolves’ somehow beat ‘Goodfellas’ for the best picture Oscar.
Why are you laughing?
What’s funny?
The way I write? Funny how? What’s funny about it? Whoah, whoah, whoah, Anthony, hold on. He’s a big boy, he’s knows what he said. What’d you say? Funny how?

Ansonia, Naugatuck Meet For 77th Time
ANSONIA – The Lavendar Chargers will be at Nolan Field at 10:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday to meet their oldest rival Naugatuck High School in the 77th meeting of the two keen rivals.
The long-standing rivalry began in 1900 when the local eleven won by a score of 5 – 0. They played twice in 1901, splitting the games, Ansonia winning 18 – 0 and Naugatuck taking the second one 6 – 0. In 1904 they played three games, with each team winning one and the last one ending in a scoreless tie.
They played two more times in 1905 with Ansonia winning the second one 18 – 0, after tying the first match 6 – 6. The clubs tied 5 – 5 in 1907 in the first battle and then the Greyhounds won the second game 5 – 0. They did not play in 1911 or in 1915, and World War I halted play in 1918. The streak really has gone continuously since 1925 without interruption.
