"i bet that if i unscrewed her ears, cabbage would fall out"

[rone]

Found this in Peter Gammons's latest column:

According to the Korean News Bureau, South Korean Doosan Bears' pitcher Park Myung-hwan twice lost his cap while delivering a pitch and each time frozen cabbage leaves fell off his head twice in a game on June 19. The frozen cabbage leaves inside the cap were used to keep his head cool.

The Korea Baseball Organization has been moved to rule that wearing cabbage leaves inside a baseball cap constitutes an "alien material" that may disrupt a game, prohibited according to the organization's rules, the organization said in a statement Tuesday.

The subject line is from a Broom-Hilda cartoon that has stuck in my mind since early childhood.

Well, early on, Garfield was funny enough, before Jim Davis started farming out work and recycling jokes, plus we were younger and more receptive to his facile humor.

Did i mention that Jim Davis is a Theta Xi brother, as well as me?

I first read that as, "Jim Davis is a Thetan".

No more Tom Cruise before bedtime for me.
