      Family lore has it that S.S. Kresge is a distant relative.

        I had no idea that's who K-Mart was named for.

          Although the S.S. Kresge would also be a good name for a ship

            The S.S. Kresge carried my distant relatives to America from the old country .

              Wow, this obscure reference and that Seitzer guys ramblings made me curious. After some internet sleuthing, I learned a few things.

              1) S.S Kresge founded Kmart
              2) K mart was founded in 1962, damn I got in early apparently. I guess I figured it was around a lot longer. By the way the first Dick's sporting goods is in.....you guessed it Binghamton NY
              3) something I didn't learn, but is my enduring memory of Kmart is my friend pissing his pants in the Davenport Iowa Kmart because we couldn't find the bathroom. This was circa 1977, so not recently in case you wondered
              4) I forgot what number 4 was, but it was really good
              5) S S Kresge lived a long life, he died at the age of 99, 6 days before the Feral Slasher was born
              6) he didn't own a dishwasher
              7) he never bought spare shoelaces
              8) "my friend" from item 3 was really a friend. I did not piss in aisle 7

                  Will be some variant of a Decades draft ... unless someone has an objection that.

                  I'll put up some polls to decide what we add to the pot.

                  1. Ko's might be an option this time - everyone has 5 players they can eliminate, that can only be used between rounds 6 and 15 (for example).
                  2. I think history says it's better to leave WC's off Decades drafts, right?

                  Participants:

                  Johnny
                  Feral
                  DMT
                  Ken
                  MJL
                  TSG
                  Mookie
                  Hacko
                  Lots of guys MIA

                                or maybe K-Mart didn't carry them ?
