We in the blogging community (yes, it makes us feel better to reinforce that there are other people who sit at their computers and force their friends to read their so/so writing in hopes that a national outlet will stumble upon us and pay millions for us to do what they already know we are doing for free) have this sort of imposed honor code that we owe our readers a constant stream of updates and literary genius. We try and stick to that code as much as we can, so when a day comes along where it’s rainy and gray, and not much is happening in the world of athletics, we get down on ourselves because we feel, as I said, we owe our readers.
I was having one of those off days up until just a few hours ago when the sparks flew through the car radio; Today’s story had arrived:
The Sham Wow guy got arrested for punching a hooker.
It’s really not my nature to poke fun at, or take lessons from celebrity calamoties… mostly because I’d like to think that people will excorcize such restraint when I am arrested for punching a hooker… but this is just to good to not share with the Ballpark. Just watch the video… if a picture’s worth a thousand words, this actual Sham-Wow video will make you a billionaire… littlerally. (I kinda know that doesn’t make sense, but I actually met this guy once, head set on and all, at the New England Boat Show one year, he is like this in real life.) I can’t possibly transcribe all the jokes I want to make about this video, just watch as he beats the product and throws it into the dryer…
An actual account of the arrest exists here.
Enjoy Your Day, Sports Fans.

It’s people who sit at their computers, not people that sit at their computers. This will kill your mother.
Not only that but it is the perpetual search FOR inspiration. Not of inspiration. I hope you shart just a drop today.
I would never argue with StartMattCassel’s Daddy, but McGreevey, the perpetual search of inspiration could have been about inspiration’s constant search to find me. As opposed to the perpetual search FOR inspiration, which signifies that I am am doing the searching.
That being said, it was about my perpetual search for inspiration… so I changed it. All can now be right with the world again. Hopefully my mother didn’t read the article before I corrected my grammar.
