Around SBN: Please, Someone Make Bob Sapp Stop Already

If you're around next Wednesday night (16th) at 7 and in the mood to meet some people you told off on the internet, come out to River on 500 West 43rd Street. Great opportunity to heckle James. Some real writers might even show up.

The 16th?

Crap, I thought this was tonight. I’ve got a game next Wednesday. Guess I’ll have to settle for continuing to heckle James on the Internets.

It's a possibility

but my firm’s holiday party is the following night and I need to be well-rested for the inevitable partner-mandated vodka shots.

Surely that is the first time in history

those two have been mentioned together. Reminds me of the other night, watching the news about the White House gatecrashers, I called it that the phrase “questionable polo charity” had never been uttered before that night. Google concurred, though that’s not conclusive.

This event would be totally rad to attend

but for the fact that it’s in NYC on a weekday.

But that’s it for my semester, so I’ll be there.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
