    His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
    Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
    To walk to school she's got to get up early
    Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
    Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum

    Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
    His patience's long but soon he won't have any
    To find a job is like a haystack needle
    Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
    Living just enough, just enough for the city...
    Living just enough...
    For the city...ooh,ooh

    The goal is 2,500 so I am going to stick to that. I feel like it is very realistic. People didn't think 2,000 was realistic when I set the goal last year and I made a lot of people believers, so I am going to stick to that.

    Plans One Through Eight From Outer Space

    From Nerdist.com:

  • Plan 1 From Outer Space: Let loose a pod of angry sea turtles

  • Plan 2 From Outer Space: Throw lit matches at everyone’s sweaters

  • Plan 3 From Outer Space: Send a giant robot down to Earth and kick Brit Hume really hard in the shin

  • Plan 4 From Outer Space: Replace all the chocolate in the world with less-delicious chocolate substitute

  • Plan 5 From Outer Space: Miley Cyrus (this one actually worked)

  • Plan 6 From Outer Space: Act really aloof and sarcastic in hopes Earth won’t know we secretly love it

  • Plan 7 From Outer Space: Tap everyone in the world on the shoulder and then run away

  • Plan 8 From Outer Space: Burrow deep into the Earth’s crust and lie dormant for millions of years until such time as an expedition makes its way toward the core of the planet and then step out and tell them we’re happy to take their literature but we’re just not very religious

    Green is just a mixture
    Of the yellow and the blue
    Well orange is just red, you know
    With some yellow shinin' through
    And purple is the wild child
    Of red and blue in love
    But the truth don't need no accent
    Black and white fits it like a glove
    Don't care what price I have to pay
    Give me black and white and hold the gray
    So just between me and you
    Oh, black and white will have to do

    Homer at the Bat Update

    in 1992, The Simpsons debuted episode 8F13 - Homer at the Bat. This episode was about Mr. Burns filling the nuclear plant's softball team with ringers from professional baseball.

    And what a team it was! Some of the greatest players of the day played for Springfield in 1992. Now, 18 years later, they're all retired from baseball, Ken Griffey Jr. being the final holdout, retiring this season.

  • C - Mike Scioscia A very good player who's proven to be a better manager.


  • 1B - Don Mattingly Should be in the Hall of Fame, but he'll undoubtedly be a manager (Dodgers?) in the next few years.


  • 2B - Steve Sax A really good and useful player for the Dodgers and Yankees. Not HOF material, but a player who is fondly remembered by fans of both teams.


  • 3B - Wade Boggs HOFer and hitting machine.


  • SS - Ozzie Smith The best defensive shortstop of all time and an HOFer.


  • LF - Jose Canseco Blew the lid off the whole steroids thing. So, as good a player as he was, will probably be more remembered for a scandalous book.


  • CF - Ken Griffey, Jr. With 600 career HRs, will be in the HOF in 5 years.


  • RF - Daryl Strawberry The poster boy for getting too much too fast in life. A mere shadow of what he should have been.


  • P - Roger Clemens HOF numbers, but will probably not make the Hall because of his connection to (and lying about his connection to) steroids.


  • Well Mr. Burns had done it
    The power plant had won it
    With Roger Clemens clucking all the while
    Mile Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile
    While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the bar room tile
    We're talkin softball, from Maine to San Diego
    Talkin' softball: Mattingly and Conceco
    Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw
    Steve Sax and his run-ins with the law
    Were talkin Homer, Ozzie and the Straw
