That made my wet, windy off-season Saturday here in Swansea. Great photo of “the meek” (among whom, of course, one wouldn’t find a single Yankee fan). Thanks, D.W.!
Sack-religious
Perhaps Halden Doerge can tell you the story of my efforts to street-evangelize Yankee fans in Montreal. I’m a little uncomfortable recounting it myself. But suffice it to say, and to paraphrase Karl Barth, while there is no justification for the the existence of the Yankees themselves, there may be justification for Yankees fans — and this because one might very well always find among the Yankees players one who exists in the midst of them as truly meek and humble.
Nate, I’m not sure F— the Yankees is a better tactic than Kirk Cameron’s attempts as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z-OLG0KyR4 . Still, I couldn’t agree more with such sentiment about the Yankees: not meek and screw ‘em. The same should be said of Boston as well.
Oh, but David. I feel you’re mistaken as regards my “tactic” in this case. Maybe the problem here lies with the difference between a “tactic” and a “strategy.” That whole Kirk Cameron banana thing is clearly a “strategy.”
True, true. That was an unfortunate confusion.
And it is good to know that there is now some public confirmation of what we Braves fans always knew amongst ourselves: that we are true descendents of Bethlehem. Could it be that the true apostolic line lies therein?
I can’t but help feel that such a statement should be followed up with, “So you’ve got the sang réal as well?” You should tell Dan Brown that the Mormons were right….
Look, I completely understand the sentiment. I was as surprised as you were. I always thought it was a legend — you know, something that my Father told me because his Father told him because his Father’s Father told him, etc. But this video clearly confirms the facticity of things. Kinda like a video of the resurrection would, you know, really once and for all settle things.
We’ve actually got a statue here at Marquette of that very thing — the resurrection in process. Its dubbed the “toilet paper Jesus”. Classy.
1991?
Roger:
That hurts. That really, really hurts. I just hope Lonnie Smith does not read this blog.
No one reads this blog.
