Let's Go Cleveland!

I have no plans to impose my political or religious beliefs on my progeny. As far as I'm concerned, the kid needs to learn to think for himself. BUT, by golly, that doesn't mean the McBonerito is going to be brought up without certain values. By the time he is four years old, I expect my son will to be able to answer me these questions three:

1) What is Rocky Colavito's middle name?

2) What does Bingo! signify in Cleveland lore?

3) Who rushed for 188 yards on 11 carries against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1950?

A warning to the lad--a single cheer for any of the following will result in exile:

Yankees
Steelers
Celtics
Red Sox
Lakers
Cowboys
Ravens
Broncos
Knicks
LeBron James

Remember kid, your name is written into the family bible in pencil.

Let's go Cleveland!

The Legend of Stabbone and McGraw

In 1967 the world's most powerful criminal super-genius, Stabbone, stole ten trillion dollars worth of gold boullion. Police, baffled as to the whereabouts of Stabbone's purported impenetrable underground lair, called on top investigator Rock McGraw to crack the case. Working tirelessly day after day, McGraw eventually tracked Stabbone to an abandoned latex mask factory. While McGraw radioed the boys for backup, Stabbone made his daring escape. In the chaos that ensued, both disappeared. Thirty years later, the case of Stabbone and McGraw remains a mystery, though some say that McGraw remains undercover, in relentless pursuit of his evil arch-nemesis.
