That must be the source of all those "Male enhancement" spams I get. They must figure that if you are hanging out on this message board at that time, you need some help in getting your software to be more hardware.

God threw out Eve.
God threw out Adam.
Cain struck out Abel.
Inning over.
Noah came in to pitch but the game was rained out.

Lincecum and Cain and pray for rain so Noah Lowry never needs to pitch?  The bible fortold the San Francisco Giants' 2008 quest to avoid 100 losses?  Fantastic!

Methinks claims of spambots may be just good cover for any one wondering why all those porn site cookies keep showing up on his machine...

Could it be regular board members who couldn't see straight enough to log in and passed out at their keyboard hours ago?

Aren't you sorry you let me back on Pat?

Mercy +k to you retagent.

This week's SI has a story on 1920s NFL HoFer Johnny Blood of the Duluth Eskimos (inspiration for the movie "Leatherheads").  It seems Johnny Blood was actually an alias for John McNally, so that his pro career would not jeopardize his eligibility at ... SJU!  Have the Johnnies ever paid for this egregious cheating?

I'd normally assume the statute of limitations would have run out by now, but don't they still have the same coach?

The Johnnies paid by having him as head coach for three years from 1950-1952. He had a fair record of about 13-9. He was succeeded by another guy named John I believe 
I've heard his successor has a little better record.  8)

[Mr. Ypsi]

57Johnnie,

+k for the info and for being a good sport.

Was 13-9 a good record, bad record, or more of the same back in the 40s/early 50s?

BTW, was 57 your jersey number or graduation date?  (or other?)  (I'd be IWU70 if a classmate hadn't already 'pilfered' the name. )

[Kilted Rat]

I would have to question anyone whose judgement led him to hang those two monickers on his kids. Jersey? Is that after the state or after the athletic apparel? Jett? with two T's? If it's after Joan, I might give him a pass. Otherwise, it's cruel and unusual punishment. May I get a ruling from the judge?

With my job, I see a lot of people's full legal names. There was Teddy Bear, Bubba, Spring Thyme, Bambi (hopefully her mother has been able to avoid forrest fires!) and my personal favorite, Nimblewill. Of course there are many more, but these are just some of the ones that I remember off the top of my head. What were their parents thinking (or smoking)?

Re: weird names

If you name your daughter Bambi, Precious, or Jasmine you officially have given up any and all rights to b*tch if she becomes a stripper or adult film star.

My mom went to high school with a girl names Mary Maas, which isn't bad except her middle name was Chris. Not Christine or Christina, just Chris. Mary Chris Maas.

I graduated from high school with a girl named Really Sweet. She had sisters name Very, Truly, Always, and Forever. I wish I was creative enough to make something like that up. I always envisioned them marrying a guy with a last name like Gross or Skanky or something like that. Funnier thing is they were really smart girls, Always was her class valedictorian and Really was like 3rd in my class. The whole family lived in a log house on a hill, the mom always had a bandana on her head even at National honor Society events.

My wife's first and middle names are Amy Suzanne which was fine until she married a Schuett and got some great initials!





I just started an Orthopedics rotation this week with a doc here in Des Moines. Really nice guy and yesterday he just became even cooler when I learned that he is the team doc for the AAA Iowa Cubs. Yesterday we had 2 Cubs players come in, 1 for a pulled oblique and another was a new acquisition to the squad from the Twins; Randy Kesiler. Turns out Kesler threw 9 innings for the Twins in spring training. Another cool note, I may very well get some free tix this season which is right in my price range!

[snoop dawg]

Can anyone tell me the week that the Johnnies start spring practice?

Here is a little riddle for you all to ponder.  I heard this today and thought it was quite funny. 

It takes a cricket 30 minutes to chew through the middle of a dill pickle. 

How long does it take the cricket to shingle a dog house with pancakes?

There is a logical answer to this and winner will get karma from me for a week straight. 

Can you tell I'm a bit bored?

[OzJohnnie]

Purple, because ice cream has no bones.

Apparently, the answer for this nonsensical riddle is more nonsense.  I don't get it and I never have with this sort of thing.  I could never figure out the purpose of post-modern deconstruction and surrealism.

27 minutes assuming your wire wagon axle has 4 corners.

The answer is, obviously,  "yes".
