Hello, Ripley’s fans. Did you miss me? We’re still on the road, but home will be soon arriving…or vice viscera. Tonight’s story is yet another from eromlig’s bag-o-weird:
Several years ago, my partner and I were getting ready to go on the air to announce a high school football game. It was October, and there was pink everywhere. The officials had pink whistles and flags; the cheerleaders had pink trim, and pink balloons were all over the stands. The stadium announcer decided he’d better explain, so he got on the P.A. And loudly announced that all the pink was for “National Breast Awareness Month.” However, before he could correct himself – “I mean, ‘National Breast CANCER Awareness Month’” – the stands erupted into gales of laughter. The announcer never lived it down, and it was another evening my partner and I really couldn’t make eye contact.
How do you pass the ball to yourself seven yards back??? If you trip and fall, with two back somersaults, it’s not a pass… This is why I love baseball. I don’t understand either but at least baseball makes less nonsense :D I’ve never seen a player running home from 1st, for example.

I’m glad to hear they released the fish again.
Also, gotta give Favre some credit, even in the wrong direction it’s hard to catch your own pass.

But first, they took a little nap with the sturgeon.

Sturgeon? I can see Norm Crosby buzzing across a lake wearing a mask and doctor scrubs!

Hear about the sturgeon fish who spent too much time at sand bars and chasing damselfish? He had a drinking problem and ended up on Squid Roe.

Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney & Wings were putting Braille on album covers in the early ’70s.

That equals Brett Farve total passing yardage with the NY Jets

Brett Favre looks more like Matt Damon after a hard bender and no sleep in that rendition… :-P

Gotta wonder how many boats were out there hunting that sturgeon when the new broke.

How do blind people know where the braille is located?

Is there such a thing as mental Braille, or metaphysical Braille?

Not even ONE of these items strains credulity. Graziano’s going to get summoned to the principal’s office over this…

Stevie Wonder might want to dispute that.
He was the only one open.
It was a news typo. The retired physician was released but not tagged.

We later caught it, removed the tag and put it on Dion “The Wanderer” DeMoochie, then ate the big fish.
Take care, may famous hook sharpener Leroy Pokeford be with you, and gesundheit.

Hey conservation guys – you ever heard of American caviar?

That’s not even close to a great white shark. They can weigh up to 2.5 tons.

Favre could have just knocked the ball down and saved the loss but he didn’t want his first NFL pass to be an incompletion.

Brett’s first completed pass was in high school and she was cute…

That first pass post made me laugh.
