I'll go out on a limb and say I don't think Revere makes throw.

It was the Southern Illinois Cardinals and then the Illinois Cubs and now the Illinois White Sox.   After the White Sox we will be taking on the Fighting Illini.   Illinois has been invading Minnesota

Now that he's ten years old and we expect him to take it like a man instead of a girl with corsets on, I wonder if he picks it back up to shock us? Or would he have to lose something more dramatic, such as the World Series?

Never diss women in corsets. And no, you will not hear the story.

I don't want to hear the story. All I was saying is that it has nothing to do with women themselves but the fact that they used to (and sadly still do) wear corsets restricted their breathing so in instances when they should have been drawing in deep breathes to sustain themselves in certain situations, they were unable to and fainted.

 

I'd like to see it become the fashion for men to wear corsets and see if fainting became a way for men to express their delicate anatomy. No, wait, I don't. We'll put such primitiveness behind us.

 

But did you say "never diss women in corsets"? I don't. It's the men who expected them to meet their "high" standards of feminine beauty that did it.

For more poetry today, I heard that Casey At Bat was first published on this date in 1888 or something like that.

I know this is a while ago, and it coulda trivially been verified by google and wikipedia, but i finally came across the Annotated Casey at the Bat on the shelves again.

 

In front of version 1 is the following paragraph:

 

"THIS is the original version of Casey--word for word, comma for comma--exactly as it appeared in the fourth column of the San Francisco Examiner, Sunday morning, June 3, 1888."

 

(I don't entirely believe it, as there are lots of little numbers referring to notes on later pages, but i bet in this case, that's what "annotated" means...)

 

Of further interest, it appears version 25 is "Cool" Casey at the Bat, by the editors of Mad, originally published in October '60.

This was from the last episode of the series -- it took a dark turn and gave the show a much bleaker ending than people anticipated and is largely pulled from the syndication cycle.

Let's be honest, there is a LOT of death and destruction in Looney Tunes. Also, everything falls faster than an anvil.

Ahem ... true story ..... Sitting in a chair and reading a book one uneventful afternoon, my mom was interrupted by my youngest brother, then 5 years old, when he held out his hand and said, "Look at my hangnail, Mom ... it's all red." She looked up and checked it out as instructed, and, without thinking (why should she have?), she coolly remarked that it was infected. Lil' bro immediately turned a sickly shade of greenish white and wanted to know what affected was. The definition was not supplied, but mom sent him upstairs to get a clipper for her to fix it for him. He returned looking queasier than ever and offered his hand, but before Mom had time to take it he fell backwards slowly and eloquently - and hit his head on a wooden chair in the downfall. That drew the attention that (according to the generally accepted reason hot young chicks used to faint in the good old days) he was looking for; finally alert, my mom leapt to her feet and shouted at my dad, "He hit his head! Why didn't you catch him!"

 

This explains so much, thanks.

I like the Embassy...  In Tampa this week...   Just got back from a really yummy seafood dinner.

Fun! The hotel in the picture is in Geneva, Switzerland, and my late mother-in-law was the musician in residence there for 20+ years. Was used by us as a base camp for several months of European exploration.

Best part about having Dozier batting second is that when the leadoff hitter gets on base, our guy batting second isn't instinctively looking the p Best part about having Dozier batting second is that when the leadoff hitter gets on base, our guy batting second isn't instinctively looking to bunt.

Now I don't know what to type..

 

Umm... Let's go with:

 

Employees must wash hands before you leave the restroom.
