I’ll be roasting in Dallas this week, and I probably won’t be dealing with anything CIDU-related until the pop-up timer comes up through my belly button.

relax

Not singling out B.C. here, but… Is it my imagination, or have there been a lot of “Death says ‘Relax'” gags lately? I’m pretty sure we just had two near- identical “Relax, I’m just here for your houseplants” gags.

Incredibly OT baseball-related trivia

charles radbourne 1886 boston beanwaters

As far as anybody knows, this is the oldest (surviving) photo of somebody “giving the finger.”

Why Charles Radbourne, standing at the far left in this team photo of the 1886 Boston Beaneaters (later the Braves), felt compelled to flip off the photographer is a matter lost to time.
