How did the right foot forward stance come to be known as "goofy foot" ? I never knew myself. The wife had someone on FB share something about how it was named after Goofy, the Disney cartoon character. When he tried to learn how to surf in the cartoon he had his right foot forward. Who knew ?
For all of us goofy foots out there.
Allegedly from 1937 ...

Well that was weird... This post and a question from a trivia page on the same day...
8. Most snowboarders and skateboarders ride with their left foot in front of their right. Seriously. The opposite type of stance, in which the right foot is in front of the left, shares a name with WHICH ANIMATED DOG?

Meet Mr. Bull Shark, one of the three deadliest to humans and they love fresh water. There was one in particular that terrorized Egg Harbor, NJ for a number of years last century.
Apparently they often swim up the Mississippi River, frequently after tidal surges from tropical storms in the Gulf - some have been confirmed as far north as St. Louis. I have a friend who is a herpetologist (but he knows a lot about other animals), who was talking to me about them recently - though our discussion had started about salt water crocodiles.

Same here. We used to go to the beach like every other week at least. Even the often chilly beaches in Norcal are great. Not for swimming (without a wetsuit) but for walking and picnicking and stuff.
yeah. probably next time. i was too late. they went skiing.
I love the rural notes and vanilla xtract. None of that artificially flavored stuff, mind you. That warm real stuff. A bit of coconut cream a dash of nutty. Maybe even some nanner nanner nanner or something or other, and some fresh 100% real snow.
Can't go under it can't go around it, gotta go through it. I just like to build forts out of it and eat them while I'm defending them.
Sounds crazy I know but that's just how I identify.
