Picked up my 2013 Packer Yearbook over the weekend. I am happy to keep the collection in tact (I have every year since 1960), but, wow, is the advertising getting out of hand. Through a large part of it, every right hand page is an ad. Still it costs $10.
It's fun to pick up an old one every now and then to re-read the articles. I think the content has gone downhill the last 10 years or so. They haven't published the off season roster for a few years already. It was a handy reference.

How do I collect webpages?
Right click on a page and choose save as. Save as an HTML file. Print the HTML file whenever you'd like.
Interactive pages come out a little odd sometimes.
Here I thought you were doing an airing of your grievences about PackerRats. I was real interested in what your issues were here.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
mad doesn't have enough server space for that

So 1959 huh?
1960 was the first issue.
Patler in 1960. A hipster, to be sure.

Where are the tight fitting jeans with rolled up cuffs, and the white t-shirt with a pack of smokes rolled into the sleeve?

Apparently no one had the Kodak Brownie out when you were wearing that outfit.

The kid has pretty long hair Patler!
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
In the '50s and early '60s many guys did wear their hair quite long and combed back. Brylcream did the trick. ("a little dab will do ya!") Then the crew-cut/flat-top took over and we had to switch to Butch Wax to get it to stand up.
(Just in case there is doubt, that isn't really me in the pic.)
Before Linda Hamilton in Terminator II, "Butch" was a common catch-all nickname for the flat-top crowd. Now I know through experience that its casual use on a young male draws the ire of that person and snickers from his friends. Language piracy sucks.
There is no record of a "Butch" having played for the Green Bay Packers.

Are you watching the Mecum auto auction on Velocity this week? The cars on this show are fun to see.There were a few taken:

No, just a pic I found. I was blonde until it darkened a bit after age 25, and I never smoked.
My father looked alot like that dude. I was born in the early 60s.
Language piracy is the nature of language. I just looked up the origins of the word "cockeyed" this morning (yes, I did). First spotted in print in the 1820's, it meant "squint-eyed," with the "cock" being a kind of adjective, as in "the hammer was cocked." In the 1890's it took on the meaning of one who is off his feed, crazy, wrong, goofy. In the 1920's it came to mean "drunk," as in "F. Scott Fitzgerald is cockeyed again."
Language piracy - it's cockeyed!
