Nostalgia & History > F-unit during the playoffs!

I’ve altered the regular F-unit Friday title here just slightly. I wanted to show a good way to kill some time while watching the playoffs. Take a subpar image into Photoshop and just keep fooling around with it! Caveat Emptor: Keeping one eye on the flat screen with the other on your computer monitor for such a long time could produce a headache. But I persevered. Ah shucks... I had all day.

I probably shouldn’t call John’s shot here “subpar”. I’d bet a dollar to a donut that he just got caught on the wrong side of the tracks and had to do the best he could. I don’t think I could pass up an all-F consist with Red & Silver in it just because I was on the dark side. Even in 1969. Makes for a nice semi-silhouette, anyhow...

You're right Lance.  I was caught on the shady side of the rail action.
