Click the link for info. I’ve asked for help on the picture questions in the past, but it required my describing the pics. Well, finally, I have them scanned and can e-mail them to Dopers who are into this type of thing. I can also send you info so you can play along with our team from wherever by listening on the net and IMing us.
There are 24 pics, ranging from cartoons (Johnny Bravo, Big Guy and Rusty, etc.) to movies to sports (George Halas) to stuff we have no clue on.
I have the pic files at work, but will send them to anyone who replies with interest at around 7am or so tomorrow.
N9IWP - Lawrence has been around a little longer, but the UWSP one is far superior. I’ve heard questions at Lawrence to the effect of, “What Bible verse did I read at my sister’s wedding?”
Plus, at Lawrence teams can keep guessing until they get it right (and continue to “jam” the phone lines afterwards so other teams can’t get through). At UWSP, you get one chance, so you better be sure before you call.
I did a little research. Larry U is 3 years older. UWSP became the biggest in 1974
