American Experience: Win Now

satyricrash — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:57:26 -0000

WIN NOW was a series of photographs by acclaimed photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt taken during the 1940s for use in the War effort. Though the photographs were very popular with the G.I.s in various theaters of combat, the U.S. Government forbid their civilian use stateside. With the war over and the United States victorious, Eisenstaedt bought back his photos and held them back from public view for neatly fifty years. I first ran into Eisenstaedt in 1992, saving his life from dolphin attack in the Bermuda Triangle. So taken was he with my courage he willed the entire photo series to me shortly before his death in 1995.

------

Thanks for saying you liked these dumb things. It was a challenge to do something new every day and make it both topical and funny (dumb) at the same time. WE CAN SEE HOW YOU RISE TO THE CHALLENGE, SHE SAID. I always had fun in the Gamedays, unless I didn't. EDITORIAL: I liked it better when post counts were not divulged.

So long, suckers! VOTE FOR ME IN THE END OF THE YEAR AWARDS!! (WINK! I AM KIDDING - OR AM I??)

I stumbled over this today and it's over a week old and was surprised no one had posted this up to McC yet, seeing that it's about both the Giants AND food. (Legally, hot dogs are food.)

Way OT: Google/Gmail Gimpy?

Hey is anyone else having like really slow-to-unusable Google and Gmail the past couple of days? I tried to Google "Slow Google" (!!) but the query just timed out. What's the big idea?

Scott Eyre: Hero

Upon seeing Selig in the Phillies' clubhouse following the postponement of Game 5 due to rain, a Phillies pitcher looked at him and said: "That fucking guy. I wouldn't let him supervise one of my shits."

Above, the New York Mets and their uniform tribute for their version of Latin Heritage night. Though it's great that more teams are doing this, I think the Mets could have at least tried instead of just slapping a "Los" on the front. I dunno, I like GIGANTES the best. (Kiss ass.)

Yard Work Season Preview

Yard Work is a baseball satire site, occasionally dishing out some funny stuff. You know, like when something is technically funny but you don't, like, laugh or anything? Like Oscar Wilde or a strange 12:55am SNL sketch. It's, uhm, like that.

ANYWAY, here is the newly minted season preview for the Giants, as written by "Herb Caen."
