Oh my gosh!!! I have never seen this video of my dad.(Bill Scott) I heard about it when I was a kid, but never saw it. It made me laugh and cry. This is soo cool! Thank You. Miss you dad.

Wow! it took me a while to weed through all the Rainier clips to find this old classic. Thanks for posting it.

I ran into Rick the Peanut Man outside the Dome about 25 years ago after the M's game and I asked him why he was in such a hurry to get out of there. He said he was on his way to his other job. He then said, "A man can't live on peanuts alone."
