In every way, I think not. But they were both young in the 60s…And I appreciate that you know the reference. At first “you had nothing” but now you have Culture Club in your head.
Fannie is quick on the Brit Pop trigger! It is possible that he caught it. He certainly seems to be giving 100%. Does it bother you when people say 110%? That’s not even a thing. Unless it’s like when I got 110 on my spelling tests because of extra credit. Oh, that’s a good rap name. Extra Credit. Lord, I’m rambling.
I’m good with 110%. It’s that extra effort that not everyone gives. The spin instructor says to give it 200% which seems a bit excessive to me. XTra cred-it–yes, that would work nicely. Good call.
I have to post them as they are, or it would be tomfoolery. A pizza does sound nice, though. Do you eat pineapples on yours or are you sick sick sick of pineapples?
There was a time I could not look at another pineapple but in the past few years they have come out with a new variety – often called Maui Gold or such – that are incredibly tasty so I’m back to eating them. But over here we do not think that the simple addition of pineapple makes something “Hawaiian” (e.g., pizza).
Well, of course not! You have to add Canadian bacon. Oh, that sounds even stranger. Well, around here, you throw a jalapeno on something and it’s Texan. Lots of jalapeno pepperoni at the pizza buffets.
I don’t think there was a football in the air, Kerbey and Kerbey-ites. I envision a photographer’s assistant standing to the side holding a grubby pigskin aloft saying at his boss’ cue, over and over again as the team’s receivers stood in a line awaiting their turn, “Look at the ball.” Jump toward the camera. Snap. Magical moment made. Next. In 1968 I was an 11-year-old playing Little League baseball and Church League basketball, just shy of these type of photo moments. By the time I reached junior high school in my huge Long Island school district, I always heard my name called among the final cuts. Dagnabbit.
Here’s a question for you. Who besides me thinks this lad experienced either bruised elbows or tasted blood upon a big crash landing?
Oh, Mark–so jaded! A posed moment? I suppose it’s possible. It didn’t even list his name, so I don’t have any information on him at all. Just the lad on the cover of the Athletic section. And speaking of bruised elbows, my son has taught me a new word that the young people use. Weenus.

Is he the 1968 version of Boy George?

Love the expression on his face Kerbey. He looks surprised to find himself in the air. Ha!
hey, as an aside, I guest posted over at Cordelia’s Mom http://cordeliasmomstill.com/2015/01/08/holy-rollers-guest-post-by-paul-curran/comment-page-1/#comment-7822 If you have the time and can drop by Kerbey, I’d be honored.

Shouldn’t there be a ball, frisbee, pizza or falling baby or something else in this photo? This cries out for creative Photoshopping.

I don’t ever want to hear that word again, Kerbey. And you call me jaded. 😮
You may be right about the photo being non-posed considering it was the cover not one of many as I assumed.
