Is It Baseball Season ?

 

I know that NFL / American Football (a.k.a. Hand Egg) is starting soon, but Baseball / Rounders.... I dunno.

Bonus - News that you did not need.

Bonus 2 - "I don't like my neighbour. Each night I walked my dog down our street, I paused outside their house and turned their TV off through their front window with our spare universal remote. One afternoon I came home to find their TV out by the bins. We now have a new bedroom TV"

Jeff "Slugger" Bailey

Memorably portrayed by Gary Oldman in the Art-House Movie "Beyond The Salt Flats", this slide is of the real Jeff Bailey, known to all fans of Oregon Baseball as "Slugger"

I don't need to repeat his story, but I'll just point out that today is the anniversary of "THAT" swimming pool incident.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Hiriko Garcia.

Bonus - The Piper Alpha Disaster - Explained

Slugger Jeff

Slugger Jeff Knocks One Out Of The Non-Existent Stadium.


That is all.



Bonus - Read The Small Print.

Bonus 2 -

Independence Day

Yes, The Fourth of July.

The commemoration of Britain setting free the American States, like parents waving goodbye to a psychotic teenager.

And here we have the Boston Boys Baseball and Gurning Team. Please, no comments about three chaps gripping one shaft, or the chap with a pair of balls in his hands.

Bonus - A woman has been caught on camera stealing a flatscreen TV from a department store in Zambia in the most bizarre way.

Batting Next...

... Ricky Schlepper.

Ricky's ambition is to be an Astronaut.   Or an Alcoholic.  Good Luck Ricky.

Bonus - From a web discussion on mischief "When I was in a school orchestra a few years ago, I was made section  leader over a group of learners. They ranged  from maybe grade 6 down to absolute beginner.  I convinced them that if you belch down a wind  instrument the pitch will change, due to the  comparative density of the air or some such  bollocks. This, I told them, was why jazz  bands are always drinking. It's to help them  belch on cue for those jazzy pitch-blends.  They tried it for months, to the utter  bewilderment of the conductor. I had to 'fess  up when one of them accidentally overdid it  and vomited into a sax."

Bonus 2 - Cliff Richard. Look at his eyes. On the outside, he's happy and cheerful, but internally, his soul is dead.

The East L.A. Tigers.

Surprisingly, some extreme Googling turns up nothing on the East L.A. Tigers, so no Big-Al fact-a-roonies for all you sports-fans out there.

And no clues as to why the coack front, right is wearing an obviously fake set of glasses/nose.

Bonus - Lycanthropography: Howling at the Map. An odd map, promoting An American Werewolf in London
