NHL Hall Of Fame Class Of 2007 Vows To Stay In Touch Following Ceremony
November 15, 2007
TORONTO—Immediately following the ceremony celebrating their induction into the National Hockey League Hall of Fame, class of 2007 inductees Mark Messier, Scott Stevens, Ron Francis, and Al MacInnis spent a bittersweet hour in the Hall parking lot discussing fond memories of their time together, exchanging Instant Messenger screen names and e-mail addresses, and repeating earnest promises to stay in touch with one another. "Aw, you guys…What a crazy, crazy career we've had together. There's no way the people I'll meet in retirement will be as fun as you guys," Scott Stevens said in the silence that followed after he and Messier recalled their old inside joke about goalie Mike Richter living in an igloo. "I only wish we had a couple more games together. Just promise me you guys will never change." When Ron Francis let Mark Messier know that he would probably be in New York sometime in February, so the two of them should definitely get together, Messier replied, "Definitely."
Parrot's Previous Owner Obviously Watched A Lot Of The Price Is Right
April 3, 2002
POPLAR BLUFF, MO— According to Kenneth Childs, the new owner of Crackers, an African gray parrot, the previous owner must have watched a tremendous amount of The Price Is Right. "All day long, Crackers keeps squawking shit like, 'Come on down!' and 'Plinko!'" Childs said. "That poor bird must have been subjected to the Game Show Network 24 hours a day." Childs also swore that he once heard Crackers sing the yodeling music from the mountain-climber game.
RC Cola Celebrates 10th Purchase
January 15, 1997
ALBANY, NY—Employees at Royal Crown Cola are jubilant in the wake of the 10th product sale in the company's 68-year history.
"This is a historic day for RC Cola," Royal Crown CEO Tad Lipscomb said. "Our tenacity and dedication to providing a top-rate cola beverage have finally paid off. The double-digit barrier was a difficult hurdle that we have been approaching for decades, but now the sky is the limit."
The milestone sale took place Monday afternoon, when Ames, IA, resident Stephen Dutchins, 81, purchased a two-liter bottle of the wildly unpopular cola at a local Food Lion grocery store. "They put the Coke and Pepsi on the top shelf, and I couldn't reach them," Dutchins told reporters. "I decided my thirst was significant enough to justify buying an unknown brand."
Added Dutchins: "My wife died several years ago."
"We are proud that Mr. Dutchins chose to switch to crisp, refreshing RC Cola," said Lipscomb. "And we anticipate a long, productive relationship with our newest family member."
For pushing the cola manufacturer over the nine mark, Dutchins was awarded a case of RC, bringing the company's number of consumed servings to 34. Technically, however, the actual number is closer to 14. "The free case would have brought us up to 34 servings, but Mr. Dutchins opted to throw away 20 of the cans when he learned that a new Pepsi machine had recently been installed in his apartment complex's laundry room," RC's Kent O'Shaughnessey said. "But we're still very excited about the four cans he did consume and enjoy before realizing that."
Asked about the phenomenal sales of competing brands of cola such as Coke and Pepsi, O'Shaughnessey said, "I try not to think about the competition. I mean, they're doing their thing—you know, cornering a majority of the soft-drink market while making billions of dollars and enjoying tremendous name recognition throughout the world—and we're doing ours."
Wall Street rallied in the wake of the purchase, driving up Royal Crown stock an eighth of a point to finish with a quarterly high of 1/8 point.
The gain delighted RC Cola workers involved in the company's corporate profit-sharing plan, who stand to rake in as much as 11 cents. "I've been working here at RC for nine years now," said line supervisor Jim Keeghan. "And I've got to tell you, this sale is even sweeter than the other one."
Lipscomb was equally excited by the Iowa purchase. "Adding this sale to one in Buffalo in '93, we are clearly gathering momentum in our drive to shoot ahead of Safeway Budget Cola by the year 2000."
Asked for an accounting of all 10 RC purchases, Lipscomb said, "Well, I don't exactly have them all memorized. How could we possibly produce a precise tally, anyway? The important thing is that we've sold about 10 RC products. Most definitely almost 10. Shooting distance, certainly."
RC Cola, the last of the major players in the famed "cola wars" to break the 10 barrier, is best known to most consumers as the creator of such memorable television advertising jingles as the mid-'70s' "Me and My RC" and the early-'80s' "Cola-Lovin' Woman, Cola-Lovin' Man," in addition to the late-'80s slogan, "People go out of their way for the taste of RC." Surprising to most, however, is the little-known fact that the company also manufactures physical bottles filled with actual cola.
"We like making cola—we're good at it, and we think the nine million bottles that have piled up in our factory over the years shows it," RC Cola marketing director Toby Hallock said. "But once in a while it feels kind of nice to actually sell one."23.7.10

depuis la découverte (et le classement subséquent) de plusieurs bouttes de bois incongrus dans le fond de mon cabanon, je ressens une forte pulsion à faire un feu, juste pour pouvoir les brûler de façon productive et efficace.
une sandwich au nutella, deux cafés, je pars pour la job avec du 5-étoiles en random. ciao!

lean green pitchin' machine.

mais il est surtout connu pour le match du 12 juin 1970, alors que son équipe jouait un programme double contre les padres de san diego. la journée d'avant était congé pour toute l'équipe, alors dock s'est rendu chez un ami à los angeles. il était définitivement sur le party, et a pris du LSD en se levant le lendemain, à midi. puis, à 1h, l'ami chez qui il était a lu dans le journal que c'était ellis qui devait lancer ce jour-là. il a pris un avion vers san diego (pour la modique somme de 9.50$ à l'époque), et... a lancé un match sans point ni coup-sûr, en étant plus ou moins capable de ressentir la balle dans sa main, et sans voir le receveur. ce dernier, jerry may, s'était mis du ruban réflecteur sur ses doigts afin d'attirer le regard d'ellis, pour qu'il puisse viser. huit buts sur balle, six retraits sur des prises, les buts remplis à quelques reprises, et plusieurs beaux jeux en défense de la part de ses coéquipiers. dock ellis aura fini par admettre 14 ans plus tard qu'il était sur l'acide.
"i can only remember bits and pieces of the game. i was psyched. i had a feeling of euphoria. i was zeroed in on the catcher's glove, but i didn't hit the glove too much. i remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times. the ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes i saw the catcher, sometimes i didn't. sometimes i tried to stare the hitter down and throw while i was looking at him. i chewed my gum until it turned to powder. i started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that richard nixon was the home plate umpire, and once i thought i was pitching a baseball to jimi hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. they say i had about three to four fielding chances. i remember diving out of the way of a ball i thought was a line drive. i jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."
