Hookers or Cake

Where the self-obsessed get serious about silly
I'm too wacky to be hip.

      • ------------------------------------- How this blog got its name

      ------------------------------------ There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.

      ----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

            fuckyeahcubs: Where have you gone Dick Pole? Dick was a pitching coach in the Chicago Cubs system from 83-88 He became the Big League pitching coach from 88-91 overseeing the development of Greg Maddox. Using the Alanis Morissette definition of ironic, Dick was probably the only guy in Chicago who didn’t bang Ryne Sandbergs wife. Dick came back for a 2cnd stint in 2003 and eventually followed Dusty “Rudy Poops” Baker to Cincinnati until he was fired last fall. He immediately left the building, it was reported and now spends most of his spare time working on his time machine.
