40 Acres & A Pool

What to make of the St Louis Cardinals who have improbably won the World Series? Maybe Tony LaRussa is a genius but I still contend he's evil and complicit in the rise of steroid use in baseball. With the season officially over(though here in New England it ended a month ago) it's time to raid the goodship You Tube for the craziest clip of all time.

Saturday mornings are about cartoons and today I present a few favorites from the past. Has anyone noticed that the theme to this show sounds like the Byrds circa Fifth Dimension? I understand the limitations on special effects in 1980 but they could have atleast removed the hand guided string from the "boat". Imagination and sugared cereal, dem' were the days.

Could you drink 119 beers in 6 hours? Not many of us could which is why God gave us Andre the Giant who was a legendary drinker according to this article in Modern Drunkard magazine. Plucked from the mountains of France because of his freakish size, the Giant made and blew many fortunes before succumbing to heart disease at age 47. Due to his particular gland disorder he knew  life would be short but damn, this man could drink.
