That's right, your favorite blogospheric stopping point, Gheorghe: The Blog, turns 21 today!
Booze it up with the Gheorghies. And watch this -- which rob and I cannot believe we've never posted here:
Today we celebrate 21 years of formally celebrating Gheorghe Mureșan with a namesake blog. And, wow, does this quote from that very first post hit home at the moment: "Gheorghe's spirit and the joy with which he appears to approach life offer lessons for all of us about the important things. This space will celebrate those in sports and elsewhere that live with Gheorgheness, and skewer those that think they are more important than the game - be it sports or life."
Just in case you don't have anything else to drink about this week, have one now.

This is just what I needed today, 23 minutes of Gheorghe.
mazel, gheorghies
The vernacular that I failed to include except as a label, in case you want to wish passerbys well, is Happy G:TBday!
Also seen as Happy GTBday or Happy Gheorghe Day. (For those that observe.)
Wow. Happy G:TBday, Gheorghies. I didn't show up until this thing was already at least 10 years old. To have kept this jalopy on the road for 21 years is a real feat.
Happy G:TBday, campers. I'm a relative newcomer to the digital tree fort. Small gem.
Other than be a dad and pound brewdogs, I can't think of anything I've done for 21 years.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi
We are the World
Jiro Dreams of Sushi is great
I recently saw a James Booker documentary that is hard to find. A riveting story about the man Dr. John called the greatest gay, one-eyed, junkie piano player from New Orleans. High praise from the Dr.
This week I've been reading Harpo Speaks, the dictated autobiography of Harpo Marx. Turns out a guy known for not speaking has some very engaging stories.
seen jiro, neighbor, we are the world, and kings. appreciate the recs.
Hey, Rob, just saw a TV playing this one. If you want to feel super shitty about everything, the Pat Tillman Story is good for that. But fucking gripping.
Prime Video Thursday Night Football uses MOP Ante Up for their ads. Do any of us hear it and not think of Bert and Ernie?
Hard Rock Bet (the only legal gambling site in Florida) uses it as well and they spam the fuck out of those commercials.
our guy joel makes the cut in 13th at -7 with a robust 67 today. he'd be leading the tournament if he hadn't made a snowman on 5 yesterday. also, if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.
It’s really weird to see Iowa-UCLA as a conference game in November. That said, I love these UCLA uniforms.
It’s my wife’s birthday, so I took her to go see stimulator jones do a show with a 10 piece band.
Not normally her bag, but she dug it, except for a couple free jazz bits. Stimmy wore a black suit, no shirt, and featured on vocals, vibraphone, guitar and drums, backed by nine other top notch players. Real good shit.
not a stretch to say that ucla had the best color scheme in college sports
