First up...
JM I think tha...Lots to unpack here. <br /><br />First up...<br /><br />JM I think that is a Sam Gross cartoon, probably from National Lampoon. Dewitt Clinton and City College Grad according to Wikipedia. <br /><br />My favorite one of his was takes place inside a restaurant that was having a frog's legs special and in the foreground is a frog wheeling himself out of the kitchen in a Porgy and Bess style cripple cart. <br /><br />Secunde... (This means second either in Romanian or Spanish I'm not sure which.) <br /><br />It could be neither. Sadly, I am unable to learn a foreign language or, as our European readers call it... language, because my brain's first language is comedy and when ever I am faced with something new I hear the joke, then have to unlearn the joke and then learn the thing. So an unfamiliar language is basically an overload. <br /><br />Here's an example. Take the Spanish word for hand, Mano. Is it a kissing disease that only effects Men? Is it a a failed product that is a combination of Manwhich and Spagetti-Os. With little manly noodles shaped like part of the outfits worn by the Village People? <br /><br />You see my problem? Now try to learn a whole language. <br /><br />Chinese has like 500 letters. How do they play Wheel of Fortune? Those games must go on longer than a cricket match. <br /><br />Anyway, to the real reason I am commenting...<br /><br />Hoss, I love little know Yankee Facts. Would you mind if I wrote a few under a different banner? <br /><br />Also, your poem really captured the dual horrors of WWI and watching Joey Gallo in a way that most would have deemed impossible. Well done! <br /><br />All that was missing was that moment from yesterday's game where both the Yankees and the Mets spilled out of their trenches and engaged in the fiercest bench clearing conversation I have ever seen. <br /><br />I like that Stanton went into the dugout and put his helmet away before jogging out (What you thought he's run?) to join the fray. <br /><br />Moutho a' Moutho combat! <br /><br />I'll stop now. <br /><br />Doug K. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-17089522523728502112021-09-13T09:12:51.475-04:002021-09-13T09:12:51.475-04:00One of my favorite cartoons showed a blind guy wit...One of my favorite cartoons showed a blind guy with sunglasses and a beggar's cup and a prone canine on the sidewalk in front of him, with a sign reading "I am blind and my dog is dead."<br /><br />That's what the Yankees have felt like since the win streak. The cartoon was funnier.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.com
