Urethra! I Have Found It!

My malfeasance in posting has opened the door for Matty the K to attempt to turn this into a Red Sox blog. But no more.

Standing in my apartment this morning -- musing on exactly how my keys ended up in the refrigerator -- I had a moment of clarity regarding H.B. "Poopy Pants" Bissinger's verbal homicide attempt-turned-career suicide attempt on HBO's "CostasNOW" the other day:

I've seen this before!














January 6, 1988: North Stars winger Dino Ciccarelli repeatedly clubs stunned Maple Leafs rookie "defenceman" Luke Richardson upside the head with his stick until a brawl erupts.

Bissinger: "I think you're fulla shit!" / Ciccarelli: *Whap!!*

Leitch/Richardson: "Hey, what're you doin'?"

Ciccarelli: *Whap!!*

Richardson: "Hey, cut it out!"

Ciccarelli: *Whap!!*

Richardson: "C'mon, you're just embarrassing yourself at this point, and it's starting to hurt."

Ciccarelli: *WHAP!!!*

Of course, Ciccarelli spent a night in an Ontario jail for his troubles, which I think might help cure what's ailing Bissinger as well.

(Video of the incident from two different angles -- Ciccarelli's, I mean, not Bissinger's -- is available here as part of a 1988 CBC News feature.)

Back with more later about L'Affaire Big Daddy Balls...
