What? Say what? Oh no, not like that it not, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

What is happening to people?
A Belgian Nun was reprimanded by her Mother Superior for dancing too provocatively at a festival. You can catch it on the DVD “Nuns Gone Wild.”

Huh?
Researchers say repeated daydreaming and an inactive brain can lead to dementia and severe memory loss. In a related story, did you hear the one about . . . shoot, I forgot the joke.

That explains it
“Charmed” star actress Alyssa Milano has dated Yankees pitcher Carl Pavano, Oakland pitcher, Barry Zito, and now she is seeing Dodgers ace Brad Penny. Interestingly, the name Alyssa Milano in Italian roughly translates to “Bring the high hard heat.”

Or
“Charmed” star actress Alyssa Milano has dated Yankees pitcher Carl Pavano, Oakland pitcher, Barry Zito, and now she is seeing Dodgers ace Brad Penny. This explains why Alyssa Milano keeps a rosin bag by her nightstand.

Watch out
Gas is out the roof, the Stones are on tour and Joan Baez is protesting our involvement in a foreign war. Experts say if these trends continue it could cause the break up of the Beatles.

Snoop ball
Rapper Snoop Doggy Dog is running an Orange County youth football league. “Are you ready for some Footballizzy?”

TV Evangelist Pat Robertson apologized for calling for the assassination of Venezuela President Hugo Chavez. Robertson was under the mistaken impression the sixth commandment had been amended to “Thou shall not kill but it’s OK to outsource a hit.”


So sorry for this one
Iraqi constitution is being negotiated to include the Sunni’s the Shiites and the Baath Parties. So the Iraqi constitution is sort of like a cowboy after a long cattle drive: “Sunni’s gotta take a Shiite and a Baath.”

That is so, so wrong.

Since you asked:
We San Diegans are very excited about our Rancho Buena Vista Little League World Series team. Little League baseball is simpler than the Majors: No steroids, no big egos, no infighting and the only financial negotiations are if they are or are not getting a Diary Queen after the game.

Since you asked, again:
As I am not right very often, when I am I have to toot my own horn, which should not be confused with what Dick Pound of WADA does.

Did I or did I not say that the big losers of the steroid testing would be older pitchers? A slugger without his ‘roids (See: Sammy Sosa. 14 total homers this year. 20 in June in 1998) is or is not going to hit a homer. But pitchers have the radar gun on them constantly and they are still trying to bring it at 95 mph without ‘roids. The young and athletic pitchers are surviving, barely, but the old guys, Kurt Schilling, Randy Johnson, Kenny Rogers and now Roger Clement are busting down like old Jalopies steaming up the Sierras.

Steroids allow aging athletes to extend the use of their fast-twitch muscle fibers way past their normal lifespan. British 100m sprinter Linford Christie was able to compete on a world class and Olympic level into his forties until he tested positive for steroids. Without 'roids, that don't happen.
