Because novelty holidays seem to be the new black...

Fresh on the heels of National Cereal Day, the calendar indicates today is yet another nonsense holiday: National Pancake Day. Never one to turn down a reason to celebrate, or a pancake for that matter, let's indulge the calendarists:

I keep getting emails from W&M asking me to help them celebrate the Dick Ash. I am not mature enough to avoid giggling every time I see an email.

Of course, the best name in the history of ever was the head ROTC officer there for some of my time - Major Wood. Not lying.

didn't the Jets employ a Dick Curl for quite some time as a clock (the "l" is important there) consultant?

I just discovered that if I use the "xmas" abbreviation on my iPhone for Christmas, it gets autocorrected to "zman's" (yes, possessive). Seems about right.

have fun rob:

Post-Pancake Pinning
After executing the pancake takedown, the wrestlers must correctly position themselves. When the bottom wrestler turns into them, the top wrestler should scissor his legs to the belly-down position on their toes, driving into his opponent (a). Should the bottom wrestler turn away from them, the top wrestler must scissor his legs to the belly-up position, sagging back on his hips (b). On the whistle, the bottom wrestler turns in, and the top wrestler scissors to the proper position. When the whistle is blown again, the bottom wrestler turns out, while the top wrestler readjusts to the correct position. This would be a 15- to 30-second whistle drill for each wrestler.

Dave said...

The "have fun, Rob" made me laugh. At the time I had a Natty Bo tall boy beer to my mouth and the laugh sprayed me fairly noticeably. I'm not even entirely sure why it struck me so amusing, but nicely executed, Dave.

Happy pancaking! Your wife must be stoked for the "15-to 30- second drill." Again.

Some of you may remember my story about a friend discovering he had the old phone number of Texans C Ben Jones and then going on Bleacher Report radio and successfully impersonating Jones. Well, he's going back on today.

I emailed the whole story and the text screenshots to go with it to TJ and Rob so have them forward it to you if you care. Or tune in to Bleacher Report radio between 4:45-5 today to hear the interview.

Danimal said...

I just heard it. Funny stuff.
