When I was a preteen (late '70s) I learned a solitaire card game called -- I kid you not -- Baltimore Jew
As you might guess, it has a new name today: Pyramid
Wiki article on it does not mention BJ
Googled for info on BJ and got this:
I recall seeing an article on it in an old Hoyle. How can can there be nothing online? Are the Zionists so powerful....?
Shirley someone here played Baltimore Jew?

In May 2016, Soulja Boy signed a deal from World Poker Fund Holdings for five years.[208] World Poker Fund is a builder and operator of online and event-based social gaming platforms and imprints.[208] Soulja said of the deal: "I enjoy music, and of course gaming. Being an influencer is a form of currency."[208] Way initially tweeted that the deal was for $400 million; however, that is the cap for the contract and not his payment from the company.[208]

KISS guitarist, Tommy Thayer (Ace Freley’s “replacement” as SpaceMan) grew up a military brat. His dad is a retired Brigadier General. And his mother is a classically trained violinist if I remember correctly

I love Heart of the Night too, my favorite Poco song, but it wasn’t their biggest hit.
“Poco's biggest hit is their 1979 single "Crazy Love". Written by founding member Rusty Young, the country-rock track reached number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the lead single from their highly successful 1978 album, Legend.”

Jeff “Skunk” Baxter is a self-taught guitarist. He was a founding member of Steely Dan. When Walter Becker and Donald Fagen decided that Steely Dan would no longer tour, Baxter quit and joined the Doobie Brothers and recommended that they also bring on an unknown keyboard player named Michael McDonald. The Doobies Brothers then reached the height of their success with that lineup.
In the 80’s, Baxter had a neighbor, a retired engineer who worked on the Sidewinder Missle program. The neighbor bought him a a subscription to Aviation Week. He became a self-taught missile defense expert, received security clearances and earned consulting contracts with Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics and The US Department of Defense.
He also recorded the guitar solo for “How Do The Fools Survive” in one take while smoking a joint.

To my surprised "what are you doing here" question, he smiled and simply answered "just looking at cool stuff". Respected him ever since.

*jeans back then and still now for the low-on-the-ladder engineering folk like me.
