The Sunday Funnies

Never let it be said that I can't poke fun at myself. Or, let Mike do it:

Yes, it's all true.

The Amalfitano look suits you Al.

…and about a gazillion other guys in those years- including me. Couldn’t grow a decent ’stash though.

Thanks!

I know I wasn’t alone. There’s photographic evidence, but it is well hidden in my house.

I always thought that was one of those bleacher myths like ’He who shall not be named" once had his own teeth. Live an learn.

Smoke Detector

I’m with you on the smoke sensitivity! I get pissed when someone is smoking in their car with the windows rolled up on Lake Shore. I can detect one part per trillion at 200 yards. ugh

Smoking in non-smoking areas--or just outside of the smoking area--is a huge peeve of mine

Why should I have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get to a smoke-free zone?

Just yesterday at the WBC at Dolphin Stadium, someone was smoking while standing at the urinal. I guess he figured “security” wasn’t patrolling the men’s room.

I did say something to him, but he looked at me with total disregard probably thinking, “Do something about it.”

Reminded me of the restrooms in junior high. Couldn’t take a leak without the smell of smoke lingering in my shoulder-length hair or tie-dye T-shirt. Back then, not yesterday.

Dolphin Stadium is a smoke-free stadium, except on the ramps of each level and by the Smirnoff Bars.

Gawd the Amalfitano years…Kinda like the Lee Elia years, past history, LOL.

Because I relentlessly refused to have my picture taken in high school

there is no Joey Amalfitano-era photo of me. But sans ’stache, I was there, bro, I was there.

Witty .sig goes here.

Why did you refuse to have your picture taken in HS?
