Didn't Necktarine Lad once try to join The Legion of Super Heroes?

Jesse Duquette: "To be fair, Time had the impossible task of trying to catch Friendless Urinal Cake’s “good side”."

2020: That time wrong-sided Bill James fell in love with loony Amy Coney Barrett (probably thinking there was a Marty Barrett connection) during her confirmation hearing.

And if that's a Supreme Court Judge, I'm a lug nut.

2022: Fear and Loathing in Gonzo's Arizona

Gonzo journalism: Objective journalism is one of the main reasons American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long. You can't be objective about Kari Lake.

Even if you include Gonzo's 5 BBWAA HOF Votes...they are both still off the ballot.

Sabermemory - 2020

Revisionist baseball historian and all-around Trumpian dungheap Pete Rose:

"Don't forget, we also got Cesar Geronimo in the Joe Morgan trade, and he'd become a perennial All-Star with the Reds."

Cesar Geronimo NEVER made an All-Star team.

Cal Ripken Jr: "I don't believe ball park factors exist."

And the only reason baseball is played with outfield fences is to keep the baseballs from falling off the edge of the flat earth.

So, last year Steve Garvey hooked up with Randy Quaid...and Quaid immediately developed a second trimester belly bump!

I Am a Nut, Elect Me!

Being that they were both born on October 13, 1925: Lenny Bruce and Margaret Thatcher would both be 𝟭𝟬𝟬-years-old today!

There's an vulgar, anal-warted pre-pre-metamodernist tragicomedy joke in there somewhere...

1968: Lee Hazlewood on why he retired from the music biz for a spell in 1964:

"I was disgusted that everything you heard on the radio was Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. Not only that. but they were being hailed as innovators when they were doing things done four years earlier by the Everly Brothers."

William Shatner: "Will my "Nick of Time" co-star Patricia Breslin die on October 12, 2011 and even things up for the city of Cleveland by leaving her shithead husband Art Modell alone?"

Shatner pulls lever and takes the card.

Oct 11, 1980: 45 obliterated years ago...the sonic tonic that be Mission of Burma played their first dynamic gig at Maxwell's!

So rad loud...my pal Smuggo swore that he saw Rust-Oleum flakes dropping off the tin ceiling and into his long neck Bud during the raucous set.

I know that he only pitched 5 innings for the Mariners this year, but I wonder, if Seattle goes on & wins the World Series will they give Zach (Sub) Pop a WS share or is he going to get stiffed like I did back in 1988 when I didn't receive the Nirvana "Love Buzz" 45 in my Sub-Pop Singles Club order!

Antiquated anti-saber Trumpster Bill Madden has thoughts.

BTW: So far, the relievers for the Tigers and Mariners have pitched a combined 13 shutout innings.

Oct 10, 1985: Magnificent l'enfant dirigible Orson Welles, gone 40 yrs now

Welles on Henry Kissinger: "I hate Kissinger even more than I hate Nixon, because I just can’t get over the feeling that he knows better, somehow. He must have talked himself into it. But he’s a selfish, self-serving shit.”

Wait, I thought hero Michael Burke banned the Satan Island branch of the Jake Powell Fan Club from Yankee Stadium decades ago!

Nothing quite like Sabermetric darling, Derek Jeter...ripping Sabermetrics:

“I’m so tired of them telling me and telling America that batting average is overrated. RBI is overrated. Contact’s overrated. Well, if you think winning the World Championship is overrated, then sure.”
