Driving in PA on a college road trip we came across a place that had cases of Old German for something absurd, like lass than $5. “How bad can it be?”. We bought several cases. The diarrhea was spectacular.

Does she move to Massachusetts and apply for a job at Harvard?

Why was it “wildly inappropriate”?  Because some retrograde lunatics might take offense to mockery of their death cult?  If she wore a nun habit everyone would be cheering about how transgressive she was.  

Yeah, but you still have Yocco’s.

I bought a polo shirt that says Slazenger on it because it was a nice material and on sale, and one with Rod Laver because it was a nice color.  I didn’t know who either of them were, but I bet they were famous once.  That’ll be Jordan in another couple of years.

For better or worse, “most famous globally” and “most famous in America” probably intersect really tightly. We sort of drive most world culture and our presidents set much of the worldwide agenda.

So Jordan is Walt Disney or Henry Ford now. Namesake of a famous brand and distant historical figure.

He’s very much alive, and he looks up ladies’ dresses as they sadly pass him by.

A lot depends on the definition of fame for the exercise. Is it just “Have you heard this name?”. Like, I’ve heard the name Lionel Messi, and know he plays (played?) soccer.

Fredo? You racist bastard! That’s like the N-Word to me!!

Bobby Abreu?  Really?!

2,3 and 5 were standards in our house, as was “enni kutya sud” (sp?) and “apad fasz” and many fasz variations. Those other ones I found online and just HAD to share.

DAMN YOU! Now that song will be stuck in my head for a month.

If I were a Yankee fan (shudder) I would learn Spanish and listen to that broadcast.

Miami is one of those who-gives-a-shit franchises like Tennessee, Carolina, Arizona that could be disbanded without issue.  Unlike the rest, they had one redeeming feature: delightful uniforms with the best logo in sports.  So they got rid of them.

Things used to be awesome and are much less so today.

It was all downhill after Wiseguy.  Mel Profitt was creepy AF.

But if you live in the suburbs you don’t get all the city-movie-lifestyle bonuses like the Sage Homeless Man Who Dispenses Brilliant Advice, the Sassy Black Shopkeeper/Waitress, the Tomboyish Magic Pixie Artist Who Welds Shit Into Bigger Piles Of Shit, the Ethnically and Sexually Diverse Fully Representative Group of
