Uh oh. The following was recently discovered on Commissioner Rube Furrow’s Flip Mino video camera:

Start studying your monkey rodeo statistics now, folks ... I believe the rumors that Rube is scrapping the SLPL next season in favor of starting a Monkey Fantasy Rodeo league may just be true.

Rep. Steve Buyer has been talking to a certain league official recently, as is evidenced by this clip (tip of the ballcap to Sue Klinkhamer):

We have not been able to verify that Commissioner Rube Furrow intends to scrap the Santa Lechuga Power League next season in favor of a fantasy monkey rodeo league. It doesn’t help, though, that we found the following photo on Rube’s digital camera:

If we hear more, we’ll keep you updated.

These are crazy days. Suzie Fricken Rochellle’s Who’s On First? is now in 2nd place in the Overall standings. The woman who one season chose a roster made up exclusively of Asian (or Asian-sounding) players is in 2nd place. Her. The woman who this season chose nothing but first basemen for hitters ... and still hasn’t made a trade. That lady. She’s in 2nd place. Crazy, I tell you. It makes the rest of us owners want to blow our top.

We noted earlier that SLPL Commissioner Rube Furrow (Joe Livernois) was going to conduct the Monterey Bay Symphony at their annual Memorial Day Concert. Here’s Furrow in all his glory:

For the first time since the inception of the league, Rube Furrow has done the league proud. Congrats, Maestro! You earned that baton.

Updated: From Rube himself: “Here's a better version...be sure to credit Peri Basseri and BigTime Video Services...” Indeed, the picture is better, but beware that the audio is a little hanky.

And here’s a fun photo, courtesy of Russ Cain, from the event:

SLPL Commissioner Rube Furrow (Joe Livernois) is slated to conduct the Monterey Bay Symphony during the annual Memorial Day Concert this coming Monday. No, this is not a joke. Check out how this little bit of madness came to happen by clicking here.

Us here in the Midwest can’t wait to see the video. And, Jay, I’ll give $100 to your favorite charity if you finish your set by pulling out a banjo and plucking a few strings a la Bugs.

You’ve no doubt heard by now that a crazed lady in Berlin jumped into the enclosed polar bear habitat at a German zoo. You’ve probably even seen the video. But you probably haven’t seen the most excellent video re-mix:

And people say *we* have too much time on our hands.

Gotta love this: “Two Dozen More Bodies Found In Lake Wobegon,” especially the droll reactions of the residents. My favorite, though: “In the last year, the viciously mutilated bodies of 57 Lake Wobegon citizens have been found in the lake. Nine of those discovered were members of the town's floundering baseball team, the Whippets, whose severed throwing arms were never discovered.”

After reading this, I’m glad my Pepino Monos stopped playing the Whippets two seasons ago after our manager was arrested for disorderly conduct during a game. (If you don’t remember, Carl didn’t just throw first and second base into the outfield for an umpire’s bad call; he excavated home plate with his bare hands and threw it at the Whippets batboy.)
