I get it Ed... you started a thread that channels the old Larry King column in USA Today! You string together a whole series of insightful observations like the one above. I'll play:

"Nobody can turn around a basketball team like Larry Brown."

"Who decided the North-South Interstate Highways would be odd numbers and the East-West ones would be even? I-85 is sometimes N-S and sometimes E-W, so it could have been I-86."

"Pretty soon it'll be cheaper to put a gallon of milk in your car than a gallon of gas. Who'da thunk?"

See, it's easy. C'mon gang!

Give me a table at Joe's Stone Crabs and an ice-cold bottle of beer and call me happy.

"Iron Man" was good, but I can't put the term "blockbuster" on anything that isn't a western.

Who knew there were that many black people in North Carolina?

Schlomoe's on Flatbush had the best pastrami I ever had in my life. Lean too, boy.

Generally, I like dog people more than I like cat people.

I never saw a football player hit harder than Otis Sistrunk.

Cosell could have been a MONSTER in talk radio. Bigger than Rush.

McCain doesn't look too old from here.

Funny stuff, guys.

Once again, Ed is on a mystery mission.
