In a Fashion

It’s Fashion Week in Paris. The item below was created by Kevin Germanier. Was he inspired by Pinhead? Photo from reuters.com:

RIP MLB Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson, 86, arguably the greatest fielding 3B in history. Born in Little Rock, he turned down a basketball scholarship to the University of Arkansas and concentrated on baseball. He played his entire 22-year career with Baltimore. He was an 18-time All-Star, two-time World Series champion, AL MVP in 1964, World Series MVP in 1970. He was awarded 16 consecutive Gold Gloves (1960–1975). He was the AL RBI leader in ’64. He was named to the MLB All-Century Team. He socked 258 homers, had 2848 hits, 1357 RBI, and finished with a BA of .267. After his playing career ended, he served as a TV analyst for Orioles’ broadcasts. He also pursued business interests in restaurant ownership, sporting goods, money management and minor league baseball. Married since 1960, he was a father of four. A player will never surpass Robinson’s fielding excellence, only hope to be as good. Awesome, Sir. Photo from Google Images:

Maddening government waste, headline from nypost.com: “States would be forced to recover staggering $11B in food stamp overpayments under proposed law.” And this is only a single phase.

Caption at foxnews.com: “After a flurry of carjackings, Baltimore company says its drivers won’t get out of their cars.” The plan is to wait until the sun is up and to throw the copy from inside. Doesn’t sound like much of a deterrent. One guy has been jacked three times. From an article by Jon Michael Raasch.
