If you’re wondering, just ask the Washington Nationals Natinals. That’s right– Natinals. Last Friday, 2 of the Nationals’ biggest stars, Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman were given (and played with) jerseys missing an “O”. Can anyone out there tell me how such a mistake gets made– I mean this is professional sports, people.  And can’t you just go to the giftshop and buy these two guys a new jersey?

Other notable sports mispellings (unbelievably) have included the following:

The Torotno Blue Jays

The Cncinnati Reds

The West Virgina Men’s Basketball Team

Did someone say Whale’s Virgina??

As the Recession Depression is upon us, I thought I’d post some predictions of what to expect in the next few years, based upon portrayals of The Great Depression in episodes of “The Little Rascals” and old Bugs Bunny and Popeye cartoons:

• The greatly impoverished will wear barrels.

• There will be a stray goat in every neighborhood, often seen eating tin cans and old boots.

• Clever vagabonds will steal pies, hamburgers, sausages, pancakes, and cigars by means of a fishing pole.

• Many things will be made from soap boxes and fruit crates: cars, furniture, homes.

• Hoboes will once again arise from their underworld lairs, in hopes of finally overtaking the world above.

• “Hobo Nickels” and broken gold pocket watches will be accepted forms of legal tender.

• The wealthy will have long grey mustaches, wear monocles, and smoke cigars constantly. Especially the women.

• Everyone will wear one piece red long underwear and their big toes will stick out of holes in their socks.

I was recently introduced to The Art of Manliness – a website dedicated to:

• How to Break in a Baseball Glove

• Men of Legend

• How to Buy Your First Motorcycle

. . . And a huge assortment of other fine manly topics.

The Art of Manliness also has a “community” akin to Facebook, yet united by a single mission: manliness.

It’s not ground beef– it’s ground bacon. A word to gluttons– cook this in a skillet, not on the grill, or it will break apart.

A classy song (and video) about love, loss, mistrust, and d*ck-smelling:

Give it a few minutes, this song will haunt you.

Sadly, I could only post a photo – embedding for this video has been disabled.
