Should we show video of the Flubs losing to L. A. in the playoffs, maybe the 4 Cubs errors in one inning? How on earth can you have four errors in one bloody inning?
Don't blame Bartman. Maybe we could show video of Dusty Baker sitting on his ass in the dugout after that and then shortstop booting a routine grounder by the very next batter, watching Mark Prior going down in flames after the error. Certainly, blame Dusty for putting too much strain on Prior and Wood's arm with too many innings.
Besides, I want people to have a festive occasion. Whenever my time does end--if it does because the Apocalypse might come and Jesus take all His children home before I croak--the fact remains that as of today chance has given me 32 years more than might of had since could well have died on 3 May 1980.
Fugging A right!
Sure, those yeas carried a fair amount of pain, loss, and a Titanic filled with regrets. Nevertheless, can't even pretend my pain worse than others'. All Eve's chilluns live to suffer and sometimes to love.
So have had a good, or at least entertaining, run, the parts I can remember. (Note to self, whiskey can make me mean but beer makes me happy.)
So it seems then all human's have Hobson's choice in front of them, to live the life offered or to wail, weep, and yet worse wine about their eventual fate.
To hell with the latter, I say, let's eat, drink, and be merry.
[The great documentary filmmaker Errol Morris, whose movies include Gates of Heaven, The Thin Blue Line and Fog of War, has tackled quite an interesting topic with his latest eight-minute short film: People who love their favorite teams so much that they request sports themed funerals.
Included in the film are a Steelers fan who wanted his funeral to look like he had just fallen asleep while watching a Steelers game, so his body was placed in a recliner, with a TV in front of him, showing a Steelers fan.]
You gotta watch this video.
[As Slats Grobnik has suggested, "maybe all that suffering means just means we're {Cubs fans} stupid."]
