Yeah, there’s a Jeffrey Toobin joke in here somewhere.

By the way, toobin' is now a verb.

The sample was taken on December 25 but it took awhile for the lab to test it. There were people out from the lab because of Covid. I don’t blame the skater. She’s only fifteen and may not have known what she was taking. She needs to be disqualified though. Her competing isn’t fair to the other skaters.

When I was a teenager, we had a kid with the last name of Ball.

Her father was Dick Ball and they lived on Cox Street!

Not kidding!

The Russians are suffering from the cultural and spiritual trauma of 70 years of communism. Cheating was a necessary survival strategy in the USSR and it will be a long time before they recover and value honor, integrity, and truthfulness.

And as they struggle out of communism the Democrats want to plunge us into it...and they cheat as evidence of their commitment to the cause.

I always enjoyed the PA announcements in the Akron-Canton Airport in 1977: “Mr. Harry Mann, pick up the white courtesy telephone, please. Paging Mr. Hairy Man.”

Not to be confused with that other illustrious member of the IOC, Johnny Deeper.

Oh, I believe it. There was a guy on my first ship, a Seaman (E3), whose last name was Seaman. On another ship, Seaman Pool. Both were ecstatic to make Petty Officer Third Class. As a tip to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, I’ll bet there are thousands of people named Mike Hunt.

I am so glad my name is fairly bland! Being in the military, if you have a name that sticks out, someone will hammer it down.

A young friend of mine is named Mike Hunt.

What were his parents smoking?

My father was born on Pecker Street.

Something he was very proud of.
