You went one too far. Although it is one of the better Billy Martin moments and the best reaction to a call in the history of sports, it wasn't even close to your other examples. One of the worst calls in the history of sports.

And thanks, dtb, for reminding me that I forgot to bring a sweater to my freezing cold office.

He's 4. He doesn't read Harry Potter (too young for it yet), but he has picked up a lot based on commercials and talk with his cousins and others -i.e. he knows there is a bad wizard and that they play Quidditch and Harry's friends are Hermione and Ron and that Harry goes to school at Hogwarts. Also he knows that Harry always has to fight the bad wizard.

Tell him, "Harry Potter gets so much magical ass that he doesn't need to TCB."

It's a form of phishing. Ignore it and it will go away after a day or two. Respond to the messages and they will know they have a live address to use for spam, scams, and all kinds of mean and nasty shit.

At 4, he knows Harry might find a bberry useful? Sweet.

This reminds me of the greatest old guy actor ever,* Ray Walston because he played the newspaper vendor in Johnny Dangerously. I fargin love that movie.

*Aside from Philip Baker Hall's turn as the library detective on Seinfeld.

I think that's because the classic shot you (we) remember is from TV:

The sax in Baker St is the second best use of horns behind Traffic and Little Feat (tied for 1st).

Forget it. Number 1 is clearly the sax break in "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'?"

This is a good example of when the exception swallows the rule.

Oh puh-lease. There is some kind of horn that may or may not be a sax in "Who Can It Be Now" and that, my friends, is pure magic, while the crap you are offering up is mugglish.

This (amended to fit the sport) is what Patrick Roy SHOULD have said in his famous quote. Good job.

A what? How do you use a fruit to communicate? Here we are still using pigeons with notes tied to their legs. Explains why we are knee deep in pigeon shit.
